A circus performer throws a knife at a bound stagehand who is tied to a post. The knife is thrown at an angle of 17.8° below the horizontal with an initial speed of 3.11 m/s. The knife hits the post between the stagehand's feet, a distance of 0.63 m vertically below where it was released. How far from the post was the performer when she threw the knife? Select one: a. 0.81 m cross out b. 0.38 m cross out c. 0.17 m cross out d. 0.77 m cross out e. 0.65 m cross out Your answer is incorrect. The correct answer is: 0.81 m

On a distant planet, golf is just as popular as it is on earth. A golfer tees off and drives the ball 2.30 times as far as he would have on earth, given the same initial velocities on both planets. The ball is launched at a speed of 48.4 m/s at an angle of 32.7 ° above the horizontal. When the ball lands, it is at the same level as the tee. On the distant planet, what are (a) the maximum height and (b) the range of the ball?
A baseball is thrown with an initial speed of 37.5 m/s at a 42.0° angle in the absence of air resistance. a) What is the maximum height reached by the baseball? b) What is the magnitude and direction of the baseball's velocity at t = 2.50 s? c) What is the ball's height when it has traveled a horizontal distance of 55.0 m?
Dock diving is great form of athletic competition for dogs of all shapes and sizes. Sheba, the American Pit Bull Terrier, runs and jumps off the dock with an initial speed of 9.02 m/s at an angle of 25.0° with respect to the surface of the water. Sheba begins at a height of 0.840 m above the surface of the water. What is her total time of flight up until the instant before she hits the water? Express your answer in seconds.
1. Vivian is practicing her shooting accuracy with her slingshot by trying to shoot rubber balls into a bucket on the ground. For one particular shot for which the ball lands in the bucket, she fired her slingshot horizontally with an initial speed of 56.0 m/s at a height of 170 cm above the ground. (a) How far away is Vivian standing from the bucket? (b) What are the magnitude and direction of the ball's velocity when it lands in the bucket? Note: Please be mindful of significant figures. Also, you can assume that when the balls land in the bucket, they are on the ground.
a boy fires an arrow from a height of 1.80 m at an angle of 15° above the horizontal towards a target standing 15.00 m in front of him. He misses the target completely, and the arrow goes flying past the target and hits the ground 21.1 m behind the target. Determine the initial velocity of the arrow in m/s.

(find its vertical position at the appropriate time) d) what is the ball's speed and direction, as it reaches the wall?
11.A blue person throws an object with an initial velocity of 25.0 m/s at an angle of 37.0°. A green person stands 15.0 meters in front of the blue person and throws an object straight up. Assume that both objects are thrown from the same initial elevation. a) If the green person throws their object with an initial speed of 20.0 m/s, at what time should they throw it such that it strikes the other object while it is traveling upward? Measure this time relative to when the blue person throws their object? b) If both people throw their objects at the same time, with what initial speed must the green person throw their object such that they collide? Answers: a) ~0.267 s b) ~15.0 m/s
