Activity 2. A hunter observed a bird flying overhead and estimated the height at 15m and its speed at 20 m/s. His rifle is capable of a muzzle velocity of 48 m/s. If he fires at the instant the bird is directly overhead, at what angle should he incline his rifle in order to hit it? How many meters from his position will the bird hit the ground assuming that the weight of the bullet compared to the weight of the bird is negligible?

A mortar shell has an initial velocity v0= 13 m/s, at an angle θ0=60º. At the maximum height of the trajectory the shell explodes into two equal pieces. One piece has a speed immediately after the explosion of zero then falls vertically. How far horizontally does the other fragment land from where it was fired.

A hunter spots a duck flying a given distance, h, above the ground (in meters) and shoots at it with his shotgun. The buckshot leaves the shotgun at an angle equal to 57.7 degrees from the horizontal with a velocity of 105 m/s. The duck is flying at a speed of 30 m/s in a horizontal direction toward the hunter. If the hunter shot when the duck was 200 meters away from the hunter and hit the duck, how high was the duck flying?
1. Two projectiles, both with a velocity of 50 m/s, are thrown from the same spot. One of them is thrown with an angle of 60 degrees, and the other one is thrown with an angle of 45 degrees. However, they both land on the same spot on top of a brick wall. How high is the brick wall?

A horizontal rifle is fired at a bull's-eye. The muzzle speed of the bullet is 700 m/s. The gun is pointed directly at the center of the bull's-eye, but the bullet strikes the target 0.021 m below the center. What is the horizontal distance between the end of the rifle and the bull's-eye?
A man in the back row of 1510 of a theatre wishes to hit a statue in front of the theatre screen with a ball. The statue stands 2 meters tall and the baller is sitting in an elevated seat, 10 meters above the floor the statue stands on. The horizontal distance from the spit baller to the statue is 10 meters. The time of flight of the spit ball is 0.6 seconds given an initial ball speed of 15m/s. Find the velocity of the ball when it is fired.
Two friends are playing catch, indoors, with a baseball, where the ceiling height is 6.15mm. The first friend releases the ball at a height of 3.15mm with a velocity of 21.8m/sm/s, and the second friend catches it at the same height. Neglect the diameter of the baseball. What is the maximum vertical component of the velocity, in meters per second, such that the baseball does not hit the ceiling?
A firecracker moves vertically upward and after reaching the highest point in its vertical trajectory, it starts falling down. After it falls down by 17.7 meters in air it cracks into two identical pieces. One of the pieces shoots off horizontally with 11.8 m/s speed. What would be the magnitude of the velocity of the other piece right after they split? Enter your answer in m/s. On your paper, show both your calculation for the magnitude and also the direction of the velocity vector of the second piece. Show your work in detail including your physics- based reasoning.
