A shooter observes a remotely controlled hot air balloon. When hedetects it, the balloon is at an altitude of 800 m and is movingvertically upwards with a constant speed of 5 m/s. There is 1600 mdistance on the horizontal. See figure 1. The bullets from theshooter's weapon have an initial speed of 400 m/s and a fixedangle e (Seno = 3/5 y Cos0 = 4/5). The shooter waits and shootsto destroy the balloon. Take g = 10 m/s?. Neglect the resistance ofthe air.a) What is the time of flight of the bullet before it hits the balloon?b) What is the altitude of the collision?c) How long does the shooter wait before shooting?5m/s1 400m/s1600m

A quarterback passes the football downfield at 19.0 m/s. It leaves his hand 1.70 m above the ground and is caught by a receiver 36.0 m away at the same height. What is the maximum height of the ball on its way to the receiver? so y0 = 1.7m x(t) = 36m , i guess i will need angle and t to get the answer, but i have no idea how to find them

For a forensics experiment, a student decides to measure the muzzle velocity of the pellets from his BB gun. She points the gun horizontally. On a vertical wall a distance 47.3 m away from the gun, a target is placed. The shots hit the target a vertical distance 0.10 m below the gun's barrel. What is the initial speed of the pellets?

Rain is falling steadily, but there is no wind. You are on a bus that moves at 35.0 km/hr, and you see that the rain appears to be falling at an angle of 42o with respect to the vertical. What is the vertical speed of the rain drops?
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.
The drawing shows an exaggerated view of a rifle that has been 'sighted in' for a 91.4-meter target. If the muzzle speed of the bullet is Vo = 309 m/s, there are the two possible angles 0₁ and 02 between the rifle barrel and the horizontal such that the bullet will hit the target. One of these angles is so large that it is never used in target shooting. Give your answers as (a) the smaller angle and (b) the larger angle. (Hint: The following trigonometric identity may be useful: 2 sine cose = sin 20.) (a) Number (b) Number Units Units 91.4 m O
Q1. An archer aims at the bullseye of a target 50.0 m away. The arrow is at the same height as the bullseye. If the archer angles the arrow upwards at 12°, what must the arrow's initial speed be in order to hit the bullseye?
Consider a projectile launched at a height h feet above the ground and at an angle ? with the horizontal. If the initial velocity is v0 feet per second, the path of the projectile is modeled by the parametric equations x = t(v0 cos(?)) and y = h + (v0 sin ?)t - 16t2.Let h=6, v0=63.25, and ?=0.79. What is the range of the projectile (i.e., how far does it travel? Round your answers to two decimal places).
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?
