Shadow Demon just stole a ball in a basketball game and intends to throw a pass to a teammate, Legion Commander who is heading towards the basket at a constant speed of 2.60m/s. If Legion Commander is to catch the ball at a height of 2.15m at point A while in full stride to execute a between the legs 360° windmill dunk. Determine the speed and the angle from the vertical with which Shadow Demon should throw the ball. Note that the initial distance between the two teammates is 12.20meters and that of Legion Commander and point A is 6.10meters.

You throw a baseball at an initial speed of 15.0 m/s at an angle of 30 with respect to the horizontal. What would the ball’s initial speed have to be at 30 on a planet that has twice the acceleration of gravity as Earth to achieve the same range? Consider launch and impact on a horizontal surface.
In 1999, Robbie Knievel was the first to jump the Grand Canyon on a motorcycle. At a narrow part of the canyon (69.0 m wide) and traveling 35.8 m/s off the takeoff ramp, he reached the other side. What was his launch angle?
A parent at a Little League game returns a foul ball by throwing it back onto the field. When the parent throws the ball back, she is standing and ends up releasing the ball from a point that is 2.50m above the ground. Your best guess is that she threw the ball upward at an angle of 60o with respect to the ground and it landed 13m away from her. What was the height of the ball's apex (as measured from the ground)?
