A catfish is spotted at the bottom of a creek. The depth of the water is 2 m. A hunter (with no knowledge of optics) fires a rifle shot, directly aimed at the catfish. The bullet strikes the water at an angle of 40° to the water. Assume that the bullet is not deflected by the air/water interface, what is the distance from the bullet hole at the bottom of the creek to the catfish? A) 0.88 m B) 0.97 m C) 0.49 m D) 0.56 m E) 0.73 m

You are attempting to find the range of a cannon by shooting a cannonball at different angles. The cannon fires the ball with a velocity of 105 and you are firing across a level field. You try angles of 30°, 45°, and 60°.
An airplane takes 5 hours to travel a distance of 4500 miles with the wind. The return trip takes 6 hours against the wind. Find the speed of the plane in still air and the speed of the wind.
I am working on finding the inital velocity of a class II projectile and am having trouble determining the right amount of sig figs. The taken measurements of the initial position of x goes to 4 sig figs, as well as the final position for y. With that being said, I am trying to find the initial velocity of x and y separately through trionometry. For example, if I have an equation for the initial velocity of x with an angle of 40, then Vox=Vocos40 My question is, since the measured value for my angle is two significant figures, is my answer Vox=.76Vo also in two sig figs because it goes by the two significant figures from my measured angle, or should I go to four significant figures to match my measured values for x and y?
A ship sailing in the Gulf Stream is heading 25.0∘ west of north at a speed of 4.00 m/s relative to the water. Its velocity relative to the Earth is 4.80 m/s at an angle 5.00∘ west of north. What is the magnitude of the velocity of the sailboat relative to the Earth in m/s?
An archer fish spies a meal of a grasshopper sitting on a long stalk of grass at the edge of the pond in which he is swimming. The fish is to successfully spit at and strike the grasshopper, which is 0.200 m away horizontally and 0.335 m above his mouth. What angle (in degrees) above the horizontal must he spit?
An engineering student throws a calculator straight up to a COVID-quarantined friend, who is leaning out a window 5.12 m above. The friend catches the calculator 1.43 s later and immediately sanitizes it and her hands. Taking up as the positive direction, find the calculator's velocity v just before it was caught.

You are investigating an accident that occurred early on a foggy morning in Oxfordshire. A 2015 Prius Hatchback traveling due north collided in a highway intersection with a 2012 Nissan Pathfinder that was traveling due east. After the collision, the wreckage of the two vehicles was locked together and skidded across the level ground until it struck a tree. You measure that the tree is 11 m from the point of impact. The line from the point of impact to the tree is in a direction 39° north of east. From experience, you estimate that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the ground and the wreckage is 0.45. Shortly before the collision, a police officer with a laser speed gun measured the speed of the Prius to be 80 km/h and, according to a witness, the Prius driver made no attempt to slow down. Four people with a total mass of 230 kg were in the Nissan. The only person in the Prius was the 80 kg driver. The Nissan with its passengers had a mass of 2362 kg, and the Prius with its…
