Kayla throws a soccer ball out of her dorm window to Hafsa, who is waiting below to catch it. Kayla throws the ball at an angle of 40° below horizontal m/s, and Hafsa catches it 2.8 s later. How far from the base of the dorm does Hafsa stand to catch the ball, in meters? Use g = 10.0 m/s². Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.

Meanwhile at the ballpark Juan was practicing his hitting while talking to some friends. He started telling them how he hit the ball over the 50 foot light tower yesterday. The formula for this hit is , h(x)=-16x^2+60x+4, where h is the height of the ball and x is the number of seconds the ball is in the air. 1. How can Juan provide proof to the friends that he actually hit the ball over the tower? 2. How high did Juan actually hit the ball? Is Juan able to mathematically back up how high he says he hit the ball?
Sydney, Tayler and I go out for a short walk together. We first walked 10 meters 34° South of East, then 20 meters due South, and then 15 meters 42° South of West. We want to find the overall resultant vector of our total travels.
Vector R has a magnitude of 10 m. Its z component is 8 m. What are the possible values for its y component? Express your answer in meters. If there is more than one answer, separate them by a comma.
A wall clock has a minute hand with a length of 0.46 m and an hour hand with a length of 0.26 m. Take the center of the clock as the origin, and use a Cartesian coordinate system with the positive x axis pointing to 3 o'clock and the positive y axis pointing to 12 o'clock. Write the vector that describes the displacement of a fly if it quickly goes from the tip of the minute hand to the tip of the hour hand at 3:00 P.M. (Let D represents the displacement of the fly.) D = 0.46 |× mî+ -0.26 Let the +y direction be straight up and the +x direction be to the right. Recall the definition of displacement, and remember that positions are vector quantities.
