Stuck in the tree problem On a windy day, Jenn and Frank accidently get their kite caught in a tree. The kite is stuck 5.0 meters above the ground. Frank finds a kickball and gives it to Jenn to throw up at the kite to knock it down. In order to see the kite, Jenn stands 3.0 meters from the base of the tree. She throws the ball from an initial height of 1.6 meters. The ball reaches a maximum height of 6.0 meters before falling and hitting the kite from above, successfully knocking the kite out of the tree. At what angle did she throw the ball?

A landscape architect is planning an artificial waterfall in a city park. Water flowing at 0.750 m/s leaves the end of a horizontal channel at the top of a vertical wall h = 2.35 m high and falls into a pool (Fig. P3.54). (a) How far from the wall will the water land? Will the space behind the waterfall be wide enough for a pedestrian walkway? (b) To sell her plan to the city council, the architect wants to build a model to standard scale, one-twelfth actual size. How fast should the water flow in the channel in the model? Figure P3.54
Unreasonable Results (a) Find the maximum range of a super cannon that has a muzzle velocity of 4.0 km/s. (b) What is unreasonable about the range you found? (c) Is the premise unreasonable or is the available equation inapplicable? Explain your answer. (d) If such a muzzle velocity could be obtained, discuss the effects of air resistance, thinning air with altitude, and the curvature of the Earth on the range of the super cannon.
A stuntman sitting on a tree limb wishes to drop vertically onto a horse galloping under the tree. The constant speed of the horse is 10.0 m/s, and the man is initially 3.00 m above the level of the saddle. (a) What must be the horizontal distance between the saddle and the limb when the man makes his move? (b) How long is he in the air?
A football receiver running straight downfield at 5.50 m/s is 10.0 m in front of the quarterback when a pass is thrown downfield at 25.0 above the horizon (Fig. P3.58). If the receiver never changes speed and the ball is caught at the same height from which it was thrown, find (a) the footballs initial speed, (b) the amount of time the football spends in the air, and (c) the distance between the quarterback and the receiver when the catch is made. Figure P3.58

1A. You're feeding the fish at the pond by the baseball field and decide to do some physics calculations. You notice that you release the fish food 1.65 m above the surface of the water, and during one throw, when the food left your hand at 3.20 m/s with a direction of 13.0° below the horizon, you managed to hit a fish near the surface. How fast was the food going right before it hits the fish? 1B.Two kittens are running toward each other, one is named Chloe and the other is named Luna. Luna runs at a speed of 1.40 m/s. If Chloe jumps at an angle of 37.0° with speed 2.70 m/s, at what distance from Luna should Chloe jump to make sure she lands on Luna?
