In the middle of the night you are standing a horizontal distance of 14.0 m from the high fence that surrounds the estate of your rich uncle. The top of the fence is 5.00 m above the ground. You have taped an important message to a rock that you want to throw over the fence. The ground is level, and the width of the fence is small enough to be ignored. You throw the rock from a height of 1.60 m above the ground and at an angle of 56.0° above the horizontal, (a) What minimum initial speed must the rock have as it leaves your hand to clear the top of the fence? (b) For the initial velocity calculated in part (a), what horizontal distance beyond the fence will the rock land on the ground?

In the middle of the night you are standing a horizontal distance of
14.0 m from the high fence that surrounds the estate of your rich
uncle. The top of the fence is 5.00 m above the ground. You have taped
an important message to a rock that you want to throw over the fence.
The ground is level, and the width of the fence is small enough to be
ignored. You throw the rock from a height of 1.60 m above the ground
and at an angle of 48.0° above the horizontal.

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?
