In the figure, a ball is launched with a velocity of magnitude 7.00 m/s, at an angle of 41.0° to the horizontal. The launch point is at the base of a ramp of horizontal length d1 = 6.00 m and height d2 = 3.60 m. A plateau is located at the top of the ramp.
Does the ball land on the ramp or the plateau?
When it lands, what are the magnitude and angle of its displacement from the launch point?
A projectile is launched from ground level to the top of a cliff which is 195 m away and 155 m high. If the projectile lands on top of the cliff 7.6 s later it is fired, find the magnitude and direction of the initial velocity of the projectile.
You launch a projectile with an initial speed of 36.4 m/s from the top of a building 34.4 m above the ground, at an angle of 52.2 degrees above the horizontal. How far from the base of the building does the projectile land on the ground?
