The cannon on a battleship ship can fire a shell a maximum distance of 39.0km What's the velocity of the shell? What maximum height does it reach? How many meters lower will its surface be 39 from the ship along a horizontal line parallel to the surface of the ship? Does your answer imply that error introduced by the assumption of a flat earth in projectile motion is significant here?

In one contest at the county fair, a spring-loaded plunger launches a ball at a speed of 3.1 m/s from one corner of a smooth, flat board that is tilted up at a 20∘ angle. To win, you must make the ball hit a small target at the adjacent corner, 2.20 m away. At what angle θ should you tilt the ball launcher?

A guy is standing on a relatively flat surface (h = 0 m). A pesky drone is flying overhead at a height of 120 m above the ground and with a velocity of 15 m/s. The guy gets annoyed and fires an arrow with an initial velocity of 100 m/s the instant the horizontal distance between him and the drone is 5 m. At what angle must he fire the arrow in order to hit the drone? Take the guy's height to be 1.8 m. Just to clarify, would shooting an arrow follow the same rules as a regular projectile motion problem? Thanks.
A rifle that shoots bullets at 460 m/s is to be aimed at a target 45.7 m away. If the center of the target is level with the rifle, how high above the target must the rifle barrel be pointed so that the bullet hits deadcenter?
A football kicker can give the ball an initial speed of 25.0 m/s. What are the (a) least and (b) greatest elevation angles at which he can kick the ball to score a field goal from a point 50.0 m in front of goalposts whose horizontal bar is 3.44 m above the ground? When doing this, you may want to research some trig identities to get a formula involving only tangent functions. Also, since there are two values of angle that will work, maybe the quadratic formula is involved.
