You can use any coordinate system you like to solve a projectile motion problem. To demonstrate the truth of this statement, consider a ball thrown off the top of a building with a velocity v at an angle with respect to the horizontal. Let the building be 50.0 m tall, the initial horizontal velocity be 9.00 m/s, and the initial vertical velocity be 12.0 m/s. Choose your coordinates such that the positive y-axis is upward, the x-axis is to the right, and the origin is at the point where the ball is released, (a) With these choices, find the balls maximum height above the ground and the time it takes to reach the maximum height. (b) Repeat your calculations choosing the origin at the base of the building.

(a) How far horizontally from the base of the building does the ball strike the ground? Find the height from which the ball was thrown.

(a) Repeat the problem two problems prior, but for the second leg you walk 20.0 m in a direction 40.0° north of east (which is equivalent to subtracting B from A that is, to finding R=AB ). (b) Repeat the problem two problems prior, but now you first walk 20.0 m in a direction 40.0° south of west and then 12.0 m in a direction 20.0° east of south (which is equivalent to subtracting A from B that is, to finding R=BA=R ). Show that this is the case.
Problem 5 You are really angry at your family, and in your frustration, you decide you are going to throw the pizza you bought for dinner onto the roof of your house. You are 6 meters from the house and the roof of the house is 3 meters above the ground. Assuming you toss the pizza from ground level with an initial speed of 10 m/s at an angle of 60° (above the horizontal), how far onto the roof does the pizza land? Assume the roof is ﬂat. Give your answer to 2 signiﬁcant ﬁgures.
A football quarterback is moving straight backwards at a speed of 2.9m/s when he throws a pass to a player 22 m straight downfield. The ball is thrown at an angle of 21 degrees relative to the ground and is caught at the same height as it is released. What is magnitude of the initial velocity of the ball relative to the quarterback in m/s? What angle above the horizontal does the initial velocity of the ball relative to the quarterback make? Give your answer in degrees.
