In the annual battle of the dorms, students gather on the roofs of Jackson and Walton dorms to launch water balloons at each other with slingshots. The horizontal distance between the buildings is 37.0 m, and the heights of the Jackson and Walton buildings are, respectively, 16.0 m and 20.0 m. The first balloon launched by the Jackson team hits Walton dorm 1.90 s after launch, striking it halfway between the ground and the roof. Ignore air resistance. (a) Find the direction of the balloon's initial velocity. Give your answer as an angle (in degrees) measured above the horizontal. (b) A second balloon launched at the same angle hits the edge of Walton's roof. Find the initial speed of this second balloon. (a) Number i (b) Number i === Jackson Vo Units Units Walton H

A criminal is escaping across a rooftop and runs off the roof horizontally at a speed of 5 m/s, hoping to land on the roof of an adjacent building. Air resistance is negligible. The horizontal distance between the two buildings is D, and the roof of the adjacent building is 3.0 m below the jumping-off point. Find the maximum value for D.
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.
A daredevil is attempting to jump his motorcycle over a line of buses parked end to end by driving up a 32° ramp, measured from the horizontal, at a speed of 40.0 m/s (144 km/h).
