A student performs the projectile motion experiment, shooting a steel ball with a purely horizontal initial velocity from a spring gun. The ball lands a horizontal distance of 1.53 m away from the barrel of the gun, and the gun is a height of 1.44 m above the ground. What is the initial velocity of the ball?

Please assist with this question with details on how to do it. Thank you. A student stands at the edge of a cliff and throws a stone horizontally over the edge with a speed of vi=18m/s. The cliff is h=50m above a body of water as shown in Figure P3.19. g.)How long after being released does the stone strike the water below the cliff?.
Solve the problem. PROVIDE THE GIVEN, REQUIRED, EQUATION, SOLUTION, AND FINAL ANSWER The charter day of Manila is usually celebrated with a fireworks display. In one of the displays, a shell was shot into the air with an initial speed of 87.0 m/s at an angle of 85.0º above the horizontal. The fuse was timed to ignite the shell just as it reaches its highest point above the ground. Solve for the following: a) height at which the shell explodes; b) time passed between the launch of the shell and the explosion c) horizontal displacement of the shell when it explodes.
You decide to flip a coin to determine whether to do your physics or English homework first. The coin is flipped straight up. What is the velocity of the coin at the top of its trajectory? If the coin reaches a high point of 0.25 m above where you released it, what was its initial speed?
Agent Cody Banks is on a high-speed chase, driving his sleek sports car at a constant speed of 70m//s. He suddenly encounters a gap in the road and accelerates off a 120 -meter-high bridge, aiming to land on a 80 -meter-tall platform that is 150 meters away. a) Calculate the coordinates of Agent Smith's landing point on the platform. b) Determine Agent Smith's total velocity just before he lands on the platform.
I need help answering this quadratic word problem, thanks in advance At the national spitting competition, contestants were lined up on top of a tall building. The winning projectile was projected off the top of the building in a trajectory defined by the following equation where the height (h) is in metres above the ground and time (t) is in seconds since the projectile was launched. h=-4.9t^2+29.4t+37.9 Show all work when answering the following (no guess and check allowed): a) If the mouth of the person who launched the winning projectile was 1.6 metres above the roof of the building, how tall was the building? b) To the nearest tenth of a second, how long was the projectile in the air before it hit the ground? (Nearest tenth of a second = one decimal place) c) To the nearest tenth of a second, determine how long the projectile was at or above 80m in height.
Q2: Gun sights are adjusted to aim high to compensate for the effect of gravity, effectively making the gun accurate only for a specific range. (a) If a gun is sighted to hit targets that are at the same height as the gun and 100.0 m away, how low will the bullet hit if aimed directly at a target 150.0 m away? The muzzle velocity of the bullet is 275 m/s. (b) Discuss qualitatively how a larger muzzle velocity would affect this problem and what would be the effect of air resistance.
