Q1) Show that R =

finding the time t at which y becomes zero and substituting this value of t into the
expression for r- x,, noting that R = x-xg.Then find the maximum range
obtainable by a person if he has a take off speed of 10 m/s? Given(2 sin 0 cos 0 =
sin 20)
Two runners start at the same point on a straight track. The first runs with a constant acceleration so that he could run 100 yards in 10 seconds. The second runner waits for 5 seconds and then throws a rock at his opponent's head. If the head is 5 feet from the ground and the rock starts 5 feet from the ground, what must be the initial velocity vector, |v0|, be if the rock is to meet the head just at the 100 yard tape? Report your answer in ft/s. Calculate tan(theta) and theta as well.
