Chapter 4, Problem 54EAP
You are watching an archery tournament when you start wondering how fast an arrow is shot from the bow. Remembering your physics, you ask one of the archers to shoot an arrow parallel to the ground. You find the arrow stuck in the ground 60 m away. making a 3.00 angle with the ground. How fast was the arrow shot?

A firework rocket is 85 m above the ground when it explodes. Immediately after the explosion one piece is moving 51 m/s at 23° to the upward vertical direction. A second piece is moving at 38 m/s at 11° below the horizontal direction. What what horizontal distance from the explosion site does each piece land?
A river flows due east with a speed of 3.0 m/s. A boat travels due north across the river from point A to point B. The speed of the boat relative to the water is 6.0 m/s. What is the speed of the boat relative to the earth?
Mark Watney (played by Matt Damon in the Martian movie) and Marvin the Martian
(Looney Tunes cartoon character) are having an argument on the surface of Mars (negligible air resistance). They are testing out their new potato launcher that fires projectiles at a consistent speed. Mark first uses the launcher to launch his potato at an angle of θM = 60◦and then Marvin uses it to launch his identical potato at an angle of θm = 30degrees . The launch speed of the potatoes is v0 = 30 m/s. On mars the acceleration due to gravity is about gm = 3.7 m/s2.
(A) Calculate the maximum height each potato achieved.
(B) Calculate how far away from the launch each potato landed, assuming they land at
the same elevation as from which they were launched.
