You were hiding in a tree 5 m above the ground when you spotted a rabbit on the ground. You took a pebble and shot it with your sling shot. You missed. You estimated you were aiming downward at -50 degrees (i.e. below horizontal) with an initial speed of 5.0 m/s. How far did the pebble land horizontally away from you?
A projectile is launched from the top of the cliff of height h with initial velocity v0 and launch angle ? with respect to the horizontal. It later hits the ground. Derive an expression for the magnitude and direction angle of the velocity as the object hits the ground in terms of some or all of the variables given in the problem h, v0 , ?, and g.
