The application of physics is everywhere. In school, physics applications can be seen in other learning areas like physical education (P.E). When you are watching a soccer play-off when the soccer player kicked the ball from ground level. You are given a chance to kick a soccer ball at an initial velocity of 80 m/s to reach the goal with a distance of 300 m. At what angle do you intend to kick the ball?

A baseball is thrown toward a player with an initial speed of 36.6 m/s at 50⁰ with the horizontal. At the moment the ball is thrown, the player is 150 m from the thrower. At what average speed must he run toward the thrower to catch the baseball 0.914 m above the height at which it was released?
A fly ball is hit to the outfield during a baseball game. Let’s neglect the effects of air resistance on the ball. The motion of the ball is animated in the simulation (linked below). The animation assumes that the ball’s initial location on the y axis is y0 = 1 m, and the ball's initial velocity has components v0x = 20 m/s and v0y = 20 m/s. What is the initial angle (in degrees) of the baseball's velocity? (Write only the numerical value of the answer and exclude the unit) Blank 1
In an article on the use of the sling as a weapon, the author states that a skilled slinger can sling a rock a distance of about 384 m. What is the minimum speed the rock must have when it leaves the sling to travel exactly 384 m? To solve this problem it will be necessary to first determine the required launch angle of the projectile. What launch angle must the projectile have in order to find the minimum speed required to achieve a given horizontal distance?
On a distant planet, golf is just as popular as it is on earth. A golfer tees off and drives the ball 2.10 times as far as he would have on earth, given the same initial velocities on both planets. The ball is launched at a speed of 48.6 m/s at an angle of 33.9 ° above the horizontal. When the ball lands, it is at the same level as the tee. On the distant planet, what are (a) the maximum height and (b) the range of the ball?
You throw a ball from the ground level at an angle of 0 = 40.0° above the horizontal. The ball lands on top of a cliff that has a height of h=10.0 m. When you release the ball, it is traveling at a speed of 25.0 m/s. How long does it take for the ball to land on top of the cliff?
A puma (aka cougar or mountain lion) is one of the best jumpers among all animals. It can jump to a height of 12.0 feet high when it leaves the ground at an initial angle of 45°. What is the initial speed (in m/s) of the puma as it leaves the ground?
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?
On a distant planet, golf is just as popular as it is on earth. A golfer tees off and drives the ball 2.30 times as far as he would have on earth, given the same initial velocities on both planets. The ball is launched at a speed of 48.4 m/s at an angle of 32.7 ° above the horizontal. When the ball lands, it is at the same level as the tee. On the distant planet, what are (a) the maximum height and (b) the range of the ball?
A ball is shot with a velocity of 24 m/s at an angle of 64° from the top of a 18 m tall building. What is the horizontal distance the ball travels when it hits the ground?
From the edge of a high cliff overlooking a flat valley, you shoot a cannonball horizontally over the valley with an initial speed of 120 m/s. If the cliff is 400 m above the valley floor, how far does the cannonball travel in the horizontal direction before landing on the ground?
A kicked soccer ball is launched from the ground at an angle of 23.5 degrees above the horizontal with an initial speed of 23.5 m/s. How long is the ball in the air?
A Supply plane needs to drop a package of food to scientists working on a glacier in Greenland. The plane flies 97 m above the glacier at a speed of 133 m/s. How far away from the target should it drop the package? (Hint: This is a horizontal projectile. The package has the same initial speed as the plane)
