William Tell must split the apple atop his son's head from a distance of 30 mm . When William aims directly at the apple, the arrow is horizontal.
At what angle must he aim it to hit the apple if the arrow travels at a speed of 35 m/sm/s ?
Express your answer using two significant figures.
A horizontal rifle is fired at a bull's-eye. The muzzle speed of the bullet is 680 m/s. The gun is pointed directly at the center of the bull's-eye, but the bullet strikes the target 0.023 m below the center. What is the horizontal distance between the end of the rifle and the bull's-eye?
An airplane flying horizontally at a velocity of 138 m/s and at an altitude of 1500 meters when one of its wheels falls off.

Note the coordinate system in the figure, where the origin is at the bottom of the cliff, directly below where the pebble leaves the hand. A woman stands on the edge of a cliff with her hand a height h above a flat stretch of ground below the clifftop. The +x-axis extends to the right along the ground and the +y-axis extends up from the ground to the top of the cliff. The origin O of the coordinate plane is directly below the woman's hand where the base of the cliff meets the flat ground.
