A quarterback is standing on the football field preparing to throw a pass. His receiver is standing 23 yd down the field and 16 yd to the quarterback's left. The quarterback throws the ball at a velocity of 70 mph toward the receiver at an upward angle of 39', Write the initial velocity vector of the ball, v, in component form.

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.
Goro Shigeno (Pitcher) and Joe Gibson Jr. (hitter) went head to head in the Major League Baseball (MLB) series. For the last pitch, Gibson hits the baseball with 82 ft/s at angle of 75°. When the ball is directly above Shigeno he begins to run under it. Determine the (a) the total distance that the pitcher runs and (b) the constant speed at which pitcher must run in order to make the catch at the same elevation at which the ball was hit. (Note: the distance between the pitcher and hitter is 70 ft.)
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
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.

A student bikes to school by traveling first dN = 1.10 miles north, then dW = 0.300 miles west, and finally dS = 0.200 miles south. Similarly, let dW be the displacement vector corresponding to the second leg of the student's trip. Express dW in component form.
A helicopter is flying horizontally with a speed of 67.3 m/s over a hill that slopes upward with a 5% grade (that is, the "rise" is 5% of the "run"). The helicopter's velocity is horizontal with a magnitude of 67.3 m/s and can be resolved into components parallel and perpendicular to the hill. Calculate the magnitude of the perpendicular component.
A baseball player hits a ball 1.1m above the plate at an angle of 42 degrees at a speed of 35 m/s.

(find its vertical position at the appropriate time) d) what is the ball's speed and direction, as it reaches the wall?
