Chapter 4, Problem 27PQ
A circus performer throws an apple toward a hoop held by a performer on a platform (Fig. P4.27). The thrower aims for the hoop and throws with a speed of 24 m/s. At the exact moment the thrower releases the apple, the other performer drops the hoop. The hoop falls straight down.
a. At what height above the ground does the apple go through the hoop?
b. If the performer on the platform did not drop the hoop, would the apple pass through it?

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 54 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.
A soccer player kicks a ball at an angle of 62° from the horizontal with an initial speed of 26 m/s.

(d) How long does the ball stay in the air?
(e) How far downfield does the ball land?
can you please help me with (d) and (e)?
