Emmy kicks a soccer ball up at an angle of 45° over a level field. She watches the ball's trajectory and notices that it lands, two seconds after being kicked, about 20 m away to the north. Assume that air resistance is negligible, and plot the horizontal and vertical components of the ball's velocity as a function of time. Consider only the time that the ball is in the air, after being kicked but before landing. Take "north" and "up" as the positive x- and y-directions, respectively, and use g & 10 m/s² for the downward acceleration due to gravity. Horizontal velocity Vertical velocity 15 15 10 10 5

During a recent winter storm, bales of hay had to be dropped from an airplane to a herd of cattle below. Assume the airplane flew horizontally at an altitude of 222 m. with a constant velocity of 44.0m / s and dropped one bale of hay every 3.0 seconds. It is reasonable to assume that air resistance will be negligible for this situation. About how far apart from each other will the bales land on the ground? Answer in m (rounded to the nearest whole number)
