Goro Shigeno (Pitcher) and Joe Gibson Jr. (hitter) went head to head in the Major League Baseball (MLB) series. For the last pitch, Gibson hits the baseball with 82 ft/s at angle of 75°. When the ball is directly above Shigeno he begins to run under it. Determine the (a) the total distance that the pitcher runs and (b) the constant speed at which pitcher must run in order to make the catch at the same elevation at which the ball was hit. (Note: the distance between the pitcher and hitter is 70 ft.)

A game requires that two children each throw a ball upward as high as possible from point O and then run horizontally in opposite directions away from O. The child who travels the greater distance before their thrown ball impacts the ground wins. If child A throws a ball upward with a speed of v1 = 59 ft/sec and immediately runs leftward at a constant speed of vA = 14 ft/sec while child B throws the ball upward with a speed of v2 = 56 ft/sec and immediately runs rightward with a constant speed of vB = 16 ft/sec, which child will win the game? Calculate the distances sA and sB that each child travels while the respective ball is in the air.
Sami made a bet with his friend Ahmad if he could shoot and break an empty bottle thrown by Ahmad using his catapult after 2 seconds from throwing the bottle. If Sami shoots a stone from his catapult at the same instant of throwing the bottle by Ahmad (t=0s) with initial velocity vi and angle Oi with respect to horizontal. Ahmad who stand on 40 m apart on the ground level throws the bottle with initial velocity of 15 m/s and with angle 60° with respect to horizontal. Suppose that Ahmad tall is 135 cm and Sami tall is 140 cm.
A rocket is fired at a speed of 86.0 m/s from ground level, at an angle of 31.0° above the horizontal. The rocket is fired toward an 7.92- Im high wall, which is located 16.0 m away. The rocket attains its launch speed in a negligibly short period of time, after which its engines shut down and the rocket coasts. By how much does the rocket clear the top of the wall? Number i Units
Suppose a soccer player kicks the ball from a distance 15 m toward the goal. Find the initial speed of the ball if it just passes over the goal, 2.4 m above the ground, given the initial direction to be 44° above the horizontal. m/s
A rocket is fired at a speed of 83.0 m/s from ground level, at an angle of 45.0° above the horizontal. The rocket is fired toward an 12.5-m high wall, which is located 21.0 m away. The rocket attains its launch speed in a negligibly short period of time, after which its engines shut down and the rocket coasts. By how much does the rocket clear the top of the wall?

The maximum horizontal distance a boy can throw a ball is 50 m. Assume he can throw with the same initial speed at all angles. How high does he throw the ball when he throws it straight upward?
Dock diving is great form of athletic competition for dogs of all shapes and sizes. Sheba, the American Pit Bull Terrier, runs and jumps off the dock with an initial speed of 9.02 m/s at an angle of 25.0° with respect to the surface of the water. Sheba begins at a height of 0.840 m above the surface of the water. What is her total time of flight up until the instant before she hits the water? Express your answer in seconds.
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?
Answer parts A and B
In 2007, Michael Carter (U.S.) set a world record in the shot put with a throw of 24.77 m. What was the initial speed, in m/s, of the shot if he released it at a height of 2.10 m and threw it at an angle of 38.0° above the horizontal? (Although the maximum distance for a projectile on level ground is achieved at 45° when air resistance is neglected, the actual angle to achieve maximum range is smaller; thus 38° will give a longer range than 45° in the shot put.) v0 =
You are really angry at your family, and in your frustration you decide you are going tothrow the pizza you bought for dinner onto the roof of your house. You are 6 metersfrom the house and the roof of the house is 3 meters above the ground. Assuming youtoss the pizza from ground level with an initial speed of 10 m/s at an angle of 60° (abovethe horizontal), how far onto the roof does the pizza land? Assume the roof is flat.
