A helicopter is delivering a care package to a remote location, travelling horizontally at 80 m/s and is 150m above the ground when the package is dropped. How long will it take for the package to hit the ground? How far does the package travel horizontally?
Irina, standing on the edge of a cliff, throws a stone at a 40-degree angle above the horizontal with an initial speed of 10.0 m/s. The instant before the stone hits the ground below, it is traveling at a speed of 63 m/s. If Irina were to throw the other rock at a 40-degree angle below the horizontal from the cliff instead, with the same initial speed of 10.0 m/s, what is the magnitude of the velocity of the stone just before it hits the ground? Ignore any effects of air resistance
