Chapter 3, Problem 17P

|| (a) A pistol that fires a signal flare gives it an initial velocity (muzzle velocity) of 125 m/s at an angle of 55.0° above the horizontal. You can ignore air resistance. Find the flare’s maximum height and the distance from its firing point to its landing point if it is fired (a) on the level salt flats of Utah, and (b) over the flat Sea of Tranquility on the moon, where g = 1.62 m/s².

A Chinook salmon can jump out of water with a speed of 7.30 m/s . How far horizontally ? can a Chinook salmon travel through the air if it leaves the water with an initial angle of ?=30.0° with respect to the horizontal? (Let the horizontal direction the fish travels be in the +? direction, and let the upward vertical direction be the +? direction. Neglect any effects due to air resistance.)

In a cricket match, a batsman hits a ball at an angle of 36o from the horizontal with an initial speed of 15.5 m/s. Assuming that the ball moves in a vertical plane, find (a) the time at which the ball reaches the highest point of its trajectory, (b) its maximum height, (c) its time of flight and range, and (d) its velocity when it strikes the ground

A soccer ball is kicked with a speed of 15.4 m/s at an angle of 40.0^ ∘above the horizontal. If the ball lands at the same level from which it was kicked, for what amount of time was it in the air?
