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

In the Olympic shot-put event, an athlete throws the shot with an initial speed of 12 m/s at an angle of 40 degrees above the horizontal. The shot leaves her hand at a height of 1.40 m above the ground. Find R, the shot traveled horizontally? Find the time it takes to reach the ground. With what velocity (magnitude and direction) it hits the ground? Find H, the maximum height it goes to from the point.
The circus manager wants to make the stunt more dramatic by firing the stuntman through a hoop 9.0 m high then land in a safety net at the same height as the cannon.

Several people stand on a bridge over a river. The bridge is not level, so the people are all different heights above the river. Each person throws a stone to the river. a) The first person is 26.8 m above the river and throws her stone with a speed of 16.6 m/s at an angle of 6 degrees to the horizontal (positive degrees are above horizontal, negative degrees are below). How long does it take her stone to hit the water, in seconds? b) The second person is 19.0 m above the river and throws his stone with a speed of 17.1 m/s at an angle of -21.4 degrees to the horizontal (positive degrees are above horizontal, negative degrees are below). What is the range of his stone, in meters? c)The third person is 9.1 m above the river and throws their stone with a speed of 6.5 m/s at an angle of 9.3 degrees to the horizontal (positive degrees are above horizontal, negative degrees are below). What is the speed of this stone (in m/s) just before it strikes the river?
