On planet #3, you fire a projectile horizontally from the edge of a vertical cliff 30.1 m above the ground, with an initial speed of 46.1 m/s. The projectile lands 54.3 m away from the base of the cliff. What is the value of g for planet #3?
While standing at the second floor balcony in an apartment building at 2 meters above the ground, Peter throws a tennis ball upward to Tom, who is standing at the seventh floor balcony at 10 meters above the ground. The velocity with which Peter throws the ball is equal to 13 m/s. Tom fails to catch the ball while it is still moving upward. The ball reaches the highest point in its motion trajectory and falls downward and lands in Tom's hands. What is the velocity magnitude of the ball when Tom catches it?

An object rolls off a tabletop with a horizontal velocity v0x = 18 m/s. The table is at a height y0 = 1.2 m, above the floor. Use a coordinate system with its origin on the floor directly beneath the point where the object rolls off the table, its horizontal x-axis lying directly beneath the object’s trajectory, and its vertical y-axis pointing up. What's the horizontal distance, in meters, from the edge of the tabletop to where the object lands?
