Small-plane pilots regularly compete in "message drop" competitions, dropping heavy weights (for which air resistance can be ignored) from their low-flying planes and scoring points for having the weights land close to a target. A plane 70 mm above the ground is flying directly toward a target at 48 m/sm/s. At what distance from the target should the pilot drop the weight? The pilot looks down at the weight after she drops it. Where is the plane located the instant the weight hits the ground? not yet over the target directly over the target past the target not enough information to determine

the leprechaun in the shamrock patch was named O'Malley and since he was disrupted from sitting in his patch he decided to go off and play a round of his favorite sport in where leprechaun kick a gold coin from a tee into a post 317m away. if he kicked the coin at an angle of 60 degree at a velocity of 60 m/s how high was the arch of the rainbow created by the trajectory? how long did it take to get to the pot? the officials in dublin decided to add a goal post to "kick O coin" 300 meters away and so many 33 meters high. would O'Malley's kick have cleared this goal post?
Can you help me with this question? A motocyclist drives his bike off of a 12 m high horizontal ledge. If he is driving at a speed of 22 m/s horizontally, how far from the base of the ledge does he land?
A catapult is placed 100 feet from the castle wall, which is 35 feet high. The soldier wants the burning bale of hay to clear the top of the wall and land 50 feet inside a castle wall. If the initial velocity of the bale is 70 feet per second, then at what angle should the bale of hay be launched so that it travels 150 feet and pass over the castle wall. Use g=32ft/s^2.
Suppose a Chinook salmon needs to jump a waterfall that is 1.30 m high. If the fish starts from a distance 1.12 m from the base of the ledge over which the waterfall flows, find the x- and y-components of the initial velocity the salmon would need to just reach the ledge at the top of its trajectory. v0x = m/s v0y = m/s Can the fish make this jump? (Remember that a Chinook salmon can jump out of the water with a speed of 6.26 m/s.) Yes/No
On a planet very similar to Earth, but slightly denser, where acceleration due to gravity is 10 m/s2, a projectile is fire vertically from a height of 100 meters with an initial velocity of 40 m/s. Its position above the ground after t seconds is given by h(t) = 100 + 40t − 5t2 meters. Find the maximum height the projectile attains.
A physics student, standing 7 m from a tree, throws a roll of toilet paper up into the limbs of the tree at an angle of 65° above the horizontal. If the student throws the roll with a velocity of 12 m/s, at what height will the roll hit the tree?
On the moon, the gravitational acceleration is 1/6 x g of Earth. If you shoot a golf ball on the moon with a launch angle of 25 degrees and an initial velocity of 22 m/s, how high is its peak height? How many times higher did it go than it would have on Earth?
A long jumper leaves the ground at 45 ∘ above the horizontal and lands 9.1 m away. What is her "takeoff" speed v0?Now she is out on a hike and comes to the left bank of a river. There is no bridge and the right bank is 10.0 m away horizontally and 2.5 m, vertically below. If she long jumps from the edge of the left bank at 45 ∘ with the speed calculated in A, how long, or short, of the opposite bank will she land?
A baseball, hit 6 feet above the ground, leaves the bat at an angle of 43° and is caught by an outfielder 2 feet above the ground and 122 feet from home plate. Neglecting air resistance, what was the initial speed of the ball?
A projectile is fired from the edge of a 180-m cliff with an initial velocity of 150 m/s at an angle of 30° with the horizontal. Neglecting air resistance, find the horizontal distance from the gun to the point where the projectile strikes the ground. 3100 m 2260 m 3160 m 2200 m
The free throw line in basketball is 4.57 m (15 ft) from thebasket, which is 3.05 m (10 ft) above the floor. A playerstanding on the free throw line throws the ball with an initialspeed of 7.15 m/s, releasing it at a height of 2.44 m (8 ft)above the floor. At what angle above the horizontal must theball be thrown to exactly hit the basket? Note that mostplayers will use a large initial angle rather than a flat shotbecause it allows for a larger margin of error. Explicitly showhow you follow the steps involved in solving projectile motionproblems
A projectile is launched 35 degrees at a speed of 18 m/s, neglecting air resistance. At what speed and angle will it return to its original level? Why?
