A Supply plane needs to drop a package of food to scientists working on a glacier in Greenland. The plane flies 100 m above the glacier at a speed of 162 m/s. How far away from the target should it drop the package? ( Hint: This is a horizontal projectile. The package has the same initial speed as the plane)

From the edge of a high cliff overlooking a flat valley, you shoot a cannonball horizontally over the valley with an initial speed of 120 m/s. If the cliff is 400 m above the valley floor, how far does the cannonball travel in the horizontal direction before landing on the ground?
Suppose I throw a rock horizontally with an initial speed of 30 m/s. Suppose my release point is 2 m above the ground. (a) How long does it take for the rock to hit the ground? (b) How far in the horizontal direction does the rock travel? (c) What is the speed of the rock right before it hits the ground?

An attacker at the base of a castle wall 3.67 m high throws a rock straight up with speed 8.10 m/s at a height of 1.53 m above the ground.

A golfer is trying to hit their ball over a 17 m tree. The ball leaves their club at an angle of 25° above the horizon. What is the minimum speed the golf ball would need to have after being hit by the club to make it over the tree, in m/s?
Jenny and Jack throw identical balls off a tall building at the same time. The ground near the building is flat. Jenny throws her ball straight downward. Jack throws his ball downward and outward such that the angle between the initial velocity of the ball and the horizon is 30°. Jack throws the ball with a speed twice that of Jenny's ball. If air resistance is negligible, which ball hits the ground first? Jenny's ball hits first. It is impossible to know from the information given. Jack's ball hits first. They hit at the same time
