rynn, who is standing on her balcony, is surprised by a pigeon and throws a flowerpot up in the air at 2.1 m/s. It takes 3.0 s for the flowerpot to smash to the ground. The flowerpot experiences acceleration due to gravity of 9.81 m/s2 [down]. Determine how high Brynn’s balcony from the ground, and how fast the flowerpot was moving just before it smashed to the ground

A water balloon is fired at 34.0 m/s from a water cannon, which is aimed at an angle of
18° above the ground. The centre of the cannon’s target (which has a radius of 1.0 m) is
painted on the asphalt 42.0 m away from the water cannon.
Will the balloon hit the target? Justify your response with calculations that indicate where the
water balloon will land and make one suggestion about how to adjust the water cannon so
that the water balloon will hit the target.
