1. While hiking in Algonquin Provincial Park, you come to the top of a cliff that is 76.8 m high. You throw a stone from the cliff, giving it an initial velocity of 24.6 m/s at 39 above the horizontal. How far from the base of the cliff does the stone land? 2. During a war between two countries, a shell is fired from a canon perched horizontally on a cliff that is 41m above a ground. The speed of the shell is 74.6 m/s and it is fired horizontally (a) Determine the horizontal range of the shell. (b) Determine the velocity of the shell as it strikes the ground. 3. A gym teacher is fired from a cannon into a net (as part of a circus act) that is situated 4.0 m above the cannon and some distance from it. The cannon is elevated at 46.02 to the horizontal and the teacher's speed at launch is 23.9 m/s. (a) Find the horizontal distance from the cannon where the net needs to placed in order for the teacher to land in it. (b) Calculate the teacher's velocity as he lands in the net. 4.

Question
1. While hiking in Algonquin Provincial Park, you come to the top of a cliff that is 76.8 m high.
You throw a stone from the cliff, giving it an initial velocity of 24.6 m/s at 39 above the
horizontal. How far from the base of the cliff does the stone land?
2. During a war between two countries, a shell is fired from a canon perched horizontally on a
cliff that is 41m above a ground. The speed of the shell is 74.6 m/s and it is fired
horizontally
(a) Determine the horizontal range of the shell.
(b) Determine the velocity of the shell as it strikes the ground.
A gym teacher is fired from a cannon into a net (as part of a circus act) that is situated 4.0 m
above the cannon and some distance from it. The cannon is elevated at 46.02 to the
horizontal and the teacher's speed at launch is 23.9 m/s.
3.
(a) Find the horizontal distance from the cannon where the net needs to placed in order for
the teacher to land in it.
(b) Calculate the teacher's velocity as he lands in the net.
4. Messi while playing for PSG in a game versus Real Madrid, kicks a soccer ball with a velocity
of 185 mls at 33° from the horizon
