Sand is moving down a conveyor belt (with
angle 15° from horizontal) at 6.0 m/s. You
want the sand to enter a bucket that is 3.0 m
below the end of the belt. How far in the
horizontal directio, d, do you have to place
the center of the bucket to ensure that the
sand enters it?
A projectile is launched with an initial velocity of 100 m/s at a 30° angle above the horizontal. Calculate the maximum height achieved by the projectile.
A target lies a distance R = 1100 m from a cannon across level ground, and a distance d = 780 m behind a wall h = 400 m tall. If the cannon shoots projectiles with speed 160 m/s, at what angle should the cannon fire so as to hit the target over the wall?
