1. A ball is thrown horizontally from the roof of a building 45 m tall and lands 24
meters from the base. What was the balls initial speed?
2. An amateur marksman aims directly at a bulls-eye (on the same level) 75.0
m away.
If the bullet leaves the gun at a speed of 180 m/s, by how much will it miss the
target?
3. Romeo is tossing pebbles gently up to Juliets window, and he wants the
pebbles to hit the window with only a horizontal component of velocity. He is
standing at the edge of a rose garden 4.5 m below her window and 5.0 m from
the base of the wall. How fast are the pebbles going when they hit her window?
4. A projectile is fired from a canon at a velocity of 40 m/s at an angle of 60 degrees to
the horizontal.
(a) Draw an accurate diagram
(b) What is the initial velocity and final velocity in the x direction (vx)?
(c) What is the initial velocity and final velocity in the y direction (vy)?
(d) What is the acceleration in the x direction (ax) and the acceleration in the y direction
(ay)?
(e) What is the vy and vx of the projectile at the very top of its trajectory?
(f) What is the acceleration of the projectile at the top of its trajectory?
(g) How much time does it take to complete its total trajectory?
(h) What is the max height of the projectile?
(i) What is the range of the projectile?
(j) What is the angle of impact that the projectile makes with the horizontal ground?
(k) On separate axes, plot the velocity in the x and velocity in the y versus time.
(l) On separate axes, plot the acceleration in the x and velocity in the y versus time.
(m) On separate axes, plot the displacement in the x and velocity in the y versus time.
