Your little sister is running to the park in your neighborhood at a speed of 3.90 m/s when you suddenly realize she left her favorite playground ball behind. You throw her ball horizontally out the window of your apartment which is at a height of 45.0 m above the street and directly above the sidewalk. You throw the ball 8.00 seconds after she has passed below your window and she catches the ball! a) Ignoring air resistance, what is the initial speed that you must throw her ball so she can catch it just before it reaches the ground? b) How far down the sidewalk from the window is your sister when she catches her ball?

Before jumping from the bridge, Martin throws his water bottle to a friend standing on the bank of the lake. The bridge is 7.0 m high. The friend is standing on the bank 15.0 m from the base of the bridge with their hand 1.0m above the ground. What speed must Martin throw the bottle horizontally for it to reach his friend's hand?
A cannon ball is fired at a wall that is 300 m away on level ground. The initial velocity of the cannon is 89 m/s, 40° above the horizontal. Don't assume the ball hits the wall at maximum height! What is the y-component of the ball's velocity when the ball hits the wall? h V; = 89 m/s 40° 300 m O 89.0 m/s O 9.81 m/s O 7.60 m/s O 18.2 m/s O 14.1 m/s O 2.99 m/s
Fluid Mechanics: The English perfected the longbow as a weapon after the Medieval period. In the hands of a skilled archer, the longbow was reputed to be accurate at ranges to 100 m or more. If the maximum altitude of an arrow is less than h = 10 m while traveling to a target 100 m away from the archer, and neglecting air resistance, estimate the speed and angle at which the arrow must leave the bow. Plot the required release speed and angle as a function of height h
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?

Recently a space x launch vehicle was coasting at a constant velocity of 15m/s in the + y direction relative to a space station . The pilot of the vehicle fired a special RCS thruster which causes it to accelerate at 8m/s^2 in the +x direction . After 9.1 s the pilot shuts off the RCS thruster . After RCS thruster is turned off find the magnitude of the vehicles velocity in +x direction.

An inflatable raft (unoccupied) floats down a river at an approximately constant speed of 5.2 m/s. A child on a bridge, 82 m above the river, sees the raft in the river below and attempts to drop a small stone onto the raft. The child releases the stone from rest. In order for the stone to hit the raft, what must be the horizontal distance between the raft and the bridge when the child releases the stone? m
Alice shoots a pebble horizontally with her slingshot from a window that is at a height H and it lands a distance D away from the building. She then shoots a pebble with the same initial velocity from a different window, but this time the pebble lands a distance D/2 away. How high is the window from which Alice takes the second shot?

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?
