A fireworks show is choreographed to have two shells cross paths at a height of 107 feet and explode at an apex of 141 feet under normal weather conditions. If the shells have a launch angle e - 55° above the horizontal, determine the common launch speed vo for the shells, the separation distance d between the launch points A and B, and the time t from launch at which the shells explode.

Make a prediction regarding what launch angle will produce the maximum horizontal range for a projectile launched from level ground and landing back on level ground. Provide reasoning to support your hypothesis.
A projectile is fired with initial speed 150 m/s and an angle of elevation 45° from a position 10 m above ground level. Where does the projectile hit the ground and with what speed? Solution If we place the origin at ground level, then the initial position of the projectile is (0, 10) and so we need to adjust the parametric equations of the trajectory by adding 10 to the expression for y. With v0 = 150 m/s, ? = 45°, and g = 9.8 m/s2, we have x = 150 cos ? 4 t = y = 10 + 150 sin ? 4 t − 1 2 (9.8)t2 = . Impact occurs when y = 0, that is 4.9t2 − 75 2 t − 10 = 0. Solving this quadratic equation (and using only the positive value of t), we get the following. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) t = 75 2 + 11,250 + 196 9.8 ≈ Then x ≈ 75 2 (21.74) ≈ (rounded to the nearest whole number), so the projectile hits the ground about…
You can use any coordinate system you like in order to solve a projectile motion problem. To demonstrate the truth of this statement, consider a ball thrown off the top of a building with a velocity v at an angle 0 with respect to the horizontal. Let the building be 54.0 m tall, the initial horizontal velocity be 9.10 m/s, and the initial vertical velocity be 10.5 m/s. Choose your coordinates such that the positive y-axis is upward, and the x-axis is to the right, and the origin is at the point where the ball is released. (a) With these choices, find the ball's maximum height above the ground and the time it takes to reach the maximum height. maximum height above ground time to reach maximum height (b) Repeat your calculations choosing the origin at the base of the building. maximum height above ground time to reach maximum height

To start an avalanche on a mountain, an artillery shell is fired from 1250 m from the base of the mountain at 300 m/s, 55.0°. What are its coordinates 9.0 seconds later? Where does it hit on the mountain? If you are unable to answer, draw a diagram showing why.
A Motorcycle Jump. You are planning to make a jump with your motorcycle by driving over a ramp that will launch you at an angle of 30.0° with respect to the horizontal. The front edge of the ramp on which you are supposed to land, however, is 25.0 ft lower than the edge of the launch ramp (ie., your launch height). (a) Assuming a launch speed of 65.0 mph, at what horizontal distance from your launch point should the landing ramp be placed? (b) In order to land smoothly, the angle of the landing ramp should match the direction of your velocity vector when you touch down. What should be the angle of the landing ramp?

Show that the girl at A can throw the ball to the boy at B by launching it at equal angles measured up or down from a 45° inclination. If va = 10 m/s, determine the range R if this value is 15°, i.e., 01 = 45° – 15° = 30° and 02 = 45° + 15° = 60°. Assume the ball is caught at the %3D same elevation from which it is thrown.

In the middle of the night you are standing a horizontal distance of 14.0 m from the high fence that surrounds the estate of your rich uncle. The top of the fence is 5.00 m above the ground. You have taped an important message to a rock that you want to throw over the fence. The ground is level, and the width of the fence is small enough to be ignored. You throw the rock from a height of 1.60 m above the ground and at an angle of 48.0° above the horizontal. Part A What minimum initial speed must the rock have as it leaves your hand to clear the top of the fence?
