How fast (i.e. initial speed) do you have to hit a baseball in Wrigley Field if you hit the ball at a 45angle 3 feet above the ground to go over the fence in straight center field? Some facts: Assume no air resistance and no wind (Yeah, right...), the distance from home plate to the center field wall is 400 feet, and the height of the wall (including the basket!) is 11.5 feet.

A swimmer tries to cross a river swimming at the angle θ to theperpendicular to the stream (to the left). The speed of the swimmer isv’, the speed of the river u (to the right) is unknown, and the width ofthe river is h. The swimmer lands at the distance ? to the right fromthe opposite point at the other side of the river. What was the speed ofthe river?
A medieval city has the shape of a square and is protected by walls with length 500 m and height 15 m. You are the commander of an attacking army and the closest you can get to the wall is 100 m. Your plan is to set fire to the city by catapulting heated rocks over the wall (with an initial speed of 80 m/s ). At what range of angles should you tell your men to set the catapult? (Assume the path of the rocks is perpendicular to the wall.)

From a tower of height yo a particle is projected vertically up with a velocity vo in free space (gravity free). The acceleration of particle at an instant is given as ā = k (v ×Ā), where v is instantaneous velocity vector and A is given as A = (-k), where y is the H y vertical coordinate of particle at that instant. (Take origin as foot of the tower) Answer the following questions. D 14. The speed of particle as a function of time will be (A) vo + kt (C) Vo-y/t 15.
