In the figure, a ball is launched with a velocity of magnitude 7.00 m/s, at an angle of 41.0° to the horizontal. The launch point is at the base of a ramp of horizontal length d1 = 6.00 m and height d2 = 3.60 m. A plateau is located at the top of the ramp. Does the ball land on the ramp or the plateau? When it lands, what are the magnitude and angle of its displacement from the launch point?

One of the tasks of the Mighty Hercules was to protect the town of Nemea from a lion. One day Hercules sees the lion 320 feet away. He strings his bow and lets an arrow fly. The arrow leaves his bow travelling at 210 feet per second from a height of 6 feet. He wants to hit the lion in the neck above the shoulders which is 4 feet off of the ground. determine the launch angle that will hit the Lion. Find the right angle.
