In a jump spike, a volleyball player slams the ball from overhead and toward the opposite floor. Controlling the angle of the spike is difficult. Suppose a ball is spiked from a height of 2.30 m with an initial speed of 19.0 m/s at a downward angle of 15.0°. How much farther on the opposite floor would it have landed if the downward angle were, instead, 8.0°?

You buy a plastic dart gun, and being a clever physics student you decide to do a quick calculation to find its maximum horizontal range. You shoot the gun straight up, and it takes 4.2 s for the dart to land back at the barrel. What is the maximum possible horizontal range that could be achieved by your gun, assuming the dart lands at the same level it started?
A potato gun fires with a velocity of 20.1 m/s at 27.0 degrees above the horizontal. A wall which is 40.0 m tall sits 17.9 m away. How high above the launch height does the potato strike the wall? Air resistance doesn't have an effect.
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
Your nephew got a Nerf Bazooka gun for Christmas, so you take it outside to play with it (just like my uncles did when I was little). The bazooka is on your shoulder, 1.5 m above the ground. You aim the gun 25° above the horizontal and the big, foam projectile leaves the gun with an initial velocity of 36 m You accidentally aim the bazooka at a tree that is a horizontal distance of 27 m away. How long does it take for the projectile to hit the tree? t = How high (above the ground) in the tree does the projectile get stuck? hfinal = m Imagine you were more clever and aimed into an empty field with no obstructions. You can control how fast the projectile leaves the gun by pumping more times or fewer times (more pumps = faster projectile). What are TWO ways you could increase the amount of time that the projectile is in the air?
Some boys use a catapult to launch a rock from the vantage point on top of a cliff, 15.7 m above the ground. The rock is launched at a speed of 28.5 m/s and an angle of 27.6° above the horizontal. How far from the cliff, does the launched rock hit the ground?
Cuban tree frogs are skilled jumpers. They can launch themselves at 4.5 meters per second at an angle of 26o above horizontal. Assuming the frog is jumping on level ground, what is the maximum height above the ground that the frog will achieve? 0.95 m 1.2 m 0.20 m 0.61 m
A snowball rolls off a barn roof that slopes downward at an angle of 40°. The edge of the roof is 14.0 m above the ground, and the snowball has a speed of 7.00 m/s as it rolls off the roof. Ignore air resistance, how far from the edge of the barn does the snowball strike the ground if it doesn't strike anything else while falling? If a man 1.9 m tall is standing 4.0m from the edge of the barn, will he be hit by the snowball?
Your little sister is running to the park in your neighborhood at a speed of 3.90 m/s when you suddenly realize she left her favorite playground ball behind.

You throw the ball 8.00 seconds after she has passed below your window and she catches the ball! a) Ignoring air resistance, what is the initial speed that you must throw her ball so she can catch it just before it reaches the ground? b) How far down the sidewalk from the window is your sister when she catches her ball?

A person stands on a diving board and tosses a stone into a swimming pool. The stone is thrown from a height of 2.9 m above the water surface with a velocity of 2.8 m/s at an angle of 38° above the horizontal. As the stone strikes the water surface, it immediately slows down to exactly half the speed it had when it struck the water and maintains that speed while in the water. After the stone enters the water, it moves in a straight line in the direction of the velocity it had when. it struck the water. If the pool is 4 m deep, how much time elapses between when the stone is thrown and when it strikes the bottom of the pool? ttotal = S
