For all questions, assume concepts such as friction or air resistance are negligible,
unless stated otherwise in the question.
A ball is launched from ground level at an angle of 60˚ and with a speed of 15 m/s.
a)What is the maximum height the ball will reach?
b)How far horizontally will the ball travel before returning to ground level?
a bullet is fired at an angle of 60 with respect to the ground.The initial velocity of the bullet is 180 m/s and the bullet remain in air for 5s.
determine the horizontal range of the bullet
In the figure, you throw a ball toward a wall at speed 23.0 m/s and at angle θ0 = 36.0˚ above the horizontal. The wall is distance d = 21.0 m from the release point of the ball. (a) How far above the release point does the ball hit the wall? What are the (b) horizontal and (c) vertical components of its velocity as it hits the wall?
