A projectile is fired vertically from point A with an initial speed of 215 ft/sec. Relative to an observer located at B, at what times (find two times t1 < t2) will the line of sight to the projectile make an angle of 23° with the horizontal? Compute the magnitude of the speed of the projectile at each time, and ignore the effect of aerodynamic drag on the projectile. Calculate the height h when the projectile is at point C.

Train A is traveling at a constant speed vA = 30 mi/hr while car B travels in a straight line along the road as shown at a constant speed Vp. A conductor C in the train begins to walk to the rear of the train car at a constant speed of vCA = 5 ft/sec relative to the train. If the conductor perceives car B to move directly westward at vR/C = 25 ft/sec, how fast is the car traveling? UB

In the latest Indian Jones film, Indy is supposed to throw a grenade from his car, which is going 99.0 km/h , to his enemy's car, which is going 115 km/h . The enemy's car is 17.0 m in front of the Indy's when he lets go of the grenade. A If Indy throws the grenade so its initial velocity relative to him is at an angle of 45 ∘ above the horizontal, what should the magnitude of the initial velocity be? The cars are both traveling in the same direction on a level road. You can ignore air resistance. B Find the magnitude of the velocity relative to the earth.
