San Francisco Giants mascot Lou Seal is trying to shoot t-shirts into the crowd at Oracle Park. Lou wants to deliver a t-shirt into the hands of a fan standing 40 m away horizontally but 16 n above the launch point. If he angles the t-shirt cannon 45° above the horizontal, what speed does he cannon need to launch at to get the t-shirt to the fan? (You can ignore air resistance in this oroblem, although in the real world air resistance would be a significant consideration!)

Olympus Mons on Mars is the largest volcano in the solar system, at a height of 25 km and with a radius of 312 km. If you are standing on the summit, with what Initial velocity would you have to fire a projectile from a cannon horizontally to clear the volcano and land on the surface of Mars? Note that Mars has an acceleration of gravity of 3.7m/s2 .
the leprechaun in the shamrock patch was named O'Malley and since he was disrupted from sitting in his patch he decided to go off and play a round of his favorite sport in where leprechaun kick a gold coin from a tee into a post 317m away. if he kicked the coin at an angle of 60 degree at a velocity of 60 m/s how high was the arch of the rainbow created by the trajectory? how long did it take to get to the pot? the officials in dublin decided to add a goal post to "kick O coin" 300 meters away and so many 33 meters high. would O'Malley's kick have cleared this goal post?

Suppose that a shot putter can put a shot at the worldclass speed 15.00 m/s and at a height of 2.160 m.What horizontal distance would the shot travel if the launch angle is (a) 45.00° and (b) 42.00°? The answers indicate that the angle of 45°, which maximizes the range of projectile motion, does not maximize the horizontal distance when the launch and landing are at different heights.
