A gallon of milk in a full plastic jug is sitting on the edge of your kitchen table. Estimate the vertical distance between the top surface of the milk and the bottom of the jug. Also estimate the distance from the tabletop to the floor. You punch a small hole in the side of the jug just above the bottom of the jug, and milk flows out the hole. When the milk first starts to flow out the hole, what horizontal distance does it travel before reaching the floor? Assume the milk is in free fall after it has passed through the hole, and neglect the viscosity of the milk.

You are on the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction in the Magic kingdom at Disney World. Your boat rules through a pirate battle, in which cannons on a ship and in a fort are firing at each other. While you are aware that the splashes in the water do not represent actual cannonballs, you begin to wonder about such battles in the days of the pirates. Suppose the fort and the ship are separated by 75.0 m. You sec that the cannons in the fort are aimed so that their cannonballs would be fired horizontally from a height of 7.00 m above the water. (a) You wonder at what speed they must be fired in order to hit the ship before falling in the water. (b) Then, you think about the sludge that must build up inside the barrel of a cannon. This sludge should slow down the cannonballs. A question occurs in your mind: if the cannonballs can be fired at only 50.0% of the speed found earlier, is it possible to fire them upward at some angle to the horizontal so that they would reach the ship?
