Textbook Question
Chapter 3, Problem 3.45P
A sly 1.5-kg monkey and a jungle veterinarian with a blow-gun loaded with a tranquilizer dart are 25 m above the ground in trees 70 m apart. Just as the veterinarian shoots horizontally at the monkey, the monkey drops from the tree in a vain attempt to escape being hit. What must the minimum muzzle velocity of the dart be for the dart to hit the monkey before the monkey reaches the ground?

a quarterback throws a ball with a velocity of 50ft/s at an angle 40 above the horizontal towards an open receiver who is 30yd away. The pass is released 5.0 ft above the ground. Assume the receiver is stationary and will catch the ball if it reaches him. Will it be a complete pass? If not will it fall short or ''fly'' to the receiver?
If there is a person on a cliff that is 200m above the beach and launches a ball from a cannon at 45 degrees to a person, how far is that person from the base of the cliff? The velocity of the muzzle is 50m/s and friction can be ignored.
A man fired a gun horizontally from the top of 70 - m high building with the velocity of 300 m/s. Neglecting air friction, how far from the base of the building will the bullet land?
