A science student is riding on a flatcar of a train traveling along a straight, horizontal track at a constant speed of 10.0 m/s. The student throws a ball into the air along a path that he judges to make an initial angle of 60.0° with the horizontal and to be in line with the track. The student’s professor, who is standing on the ground nearby, observes the ball to rise vertically. How high does she see the ball rise?

- 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. Part A What minimum initial speed must the rock have as it leaves your hand to clear the top of the fence?

- A pickup truck is traveling along a straight flat highway at a constant speed of 10 m/s measured relative to the ground. A person standing in the flatbed of the pickup truck throws a ball into the air at an angle of 60° above the horizontal as measured relative to the truck and in line with the highway. A second person who is standing on the ground nearby observes the ball to rise vertically.

- An archerfish, peering from just below the water surface, sees a grasshopper standing on a treebranch that’s just above the water. The archerfish spits a drop of water at the grasshopper and knocks it into the water. The grasshopper’s initial position is 0.45 m above the water surfaceand 0.25 m horizontally away from the fish’s mouth. The launch angle of the drop is 63 degrees with respect to the water surface. A. Find an expression for how fast the drop is moving when it leaves the fish’s mouth. (Your expression should only contain symbols of physical quantities. No numbers are needed here.) B. Find the numerical value for how fast the drop is moving when it leaves the fish’s mouth. (Plug the values of physical quantities into your expression from part A (do not forget units!)) C. Evaluate your answer that you found in part B by using it to find the value of a physical quantity given in the problem statement.(This is called evaluating for consistency.)
