A child runs straight off the end of a level dock moving at 3.2 m/s. The surface of the dock is 75cm above the water. How far from the end of the dock does the child land in the water?
A guy is standing on a relatively flat surface (h = 0 m). A pesky drone is flying overhead at a height of 120 m above the ground and with a velocity of 15 m/s. The guy gets annoyed and fires an arrow with an initial velocity of 100 m/s the instant the horizontal distance between him and the drone is 5 m. At what angle must he fire the arrow in order to hit the drone? Take the guy's height to be 1.8 m. Just to clarify, would shooting an arrow follow the same rules as a regular projectile motion problem? Thanks.
A projectile is shot in the air from ground level with an initial velocity of 490 m/sec at an angle of 60° with the horizontal. (a)At what time (in seconds) is the maximum range of the projectile attained? (b)What is the maximum range (in meters)?

A father demonstrates projectile motion to his children by placing a pea on his fork's handle and rapidly depressing the curved tines, launching the pea to heights above the dining room table. Suppose the pea is launched at 7.59 m/s at an angle of 77.0° above the table. With what speed (in m/s) does the pea strike the ceiling 1.80 m above the table?
The application of physics is everywhere. In school, physics applications can be seen in other learning areas like physical education (P.E). When you are watching a soccer play-off when the soccer player kicked the ball from ground level. You are given a chance to kick a soccer ball at an initial velocity of 80 m/s to reach the goal with a distance of 300 m. At what angle do you intend to kick the ball?
A bullet is fired. at 250 m/s horizontally over level ground at an altitude of 1.9 meters. How far (in meters) horizontally will the bullet travel before strinking the ground?
During a baseball game the ball is hit at home base 1 meter above ground level with a bat. After having traveled a horizontal distance of 30 m, it is 20 m above ground level. An outfielder runs to meet the ball and catches it as he dives, just 10 cm from the ground. The outfielder is 80 m away from home base when he catches the ball. Assuming the path of the ball is approximately parabolic, what is the greatest height the ball reaches?
A computer-controlled ball launcher on a ledge at height h = 6 m above level ground ejects a ball at initial speed v0 = 7.7 m/s at an angle of θ1 = 35 degrees above the horizontal. The computer then commands the launcher to change its launch angle to a specific value θ2 below the horizontal, and to launch a second ball exactly 1.00 seconds after the first ball at a different speed from the first one. Assume the balls are launched from the same height, move in the same plane, and that air resistance can be ignored. The launch of the second ball is arranged such that the second ball collides with the first ball at a height h/2 above the level ground. This requires the second ball to have a specific initial speed and launch angle. What is the required launch angle, recalling that an angle below horizontal is negative?
A projectile is launched from ground level to the top of a cliff which is 195 m away and 155 m high. If the projectile lands on top of the cliff 7.6 s later it is fired, find the magnitude and direction of the initial velocity of the projectile.
