1) An airplane is flying with a load of food to deliver to a group of people stranded on a small island. The plane is flying at a speed of 100 m/s and at a height of 980 m. How far from the group - horizontal distance should the plane drop the load so that the load will reach the group? Ignore air friction.

A bottle rocket is shot straight up in the air with a speed 30 m/s. if the air resistance is ignores, the bottle would go up to a height of approximately 46 m. however the rocket goes up to only 35 m before returning to the ground. What happened? Explain, giving only a qualitative response.
An artillery shell is fired at a target 200 m above the ground. When the shell is 100 m in the air, it has a speed of 100 m/s. What is its speed when it hits its target? Neglect air friction.
A T-shirt cannon launches a shirt at 5.00 m/s from a platform height of 3.00 m from ground level. How fast will the shirt be traveling if it is caught by someone whose hands are (a) 1.00 m from ground level? (b) 4.00 m from ground level? Neglect air drag.
A ski jumper starts from rest 50.0 m above the ground on a frictionless track and flies off the track at an angle of 45.0 above the horizontal and at a height of 10.0 m above the level ground. Neglect air resistance, (a) What is her speed when she leaves the track? (b) What is the maximum altitude she attains after leaving the track? (c) Where does she land relative to the end of the track?
Does the escape speed for an object at the earth’s surface depend on the direction in which it is launched? Explain. Does your answe depend on whether or not you include the effects of air resistance?
A small plane, flying at 180 kph at an altitude of 240 m, is to drop an inflatable raft ti flood victims stranded on a flat roof. How far from the roof should the pilot release the package so that it will land on the roof?
A child starts from rest and slides without friction from a height of h = 5.0 m along a slide next to a pool (see fiqure). She is launched from a height of 0.8 m (ignore the h/5 in the fiqure) at an angle of 240 into the air over the pool Утах th/5 What is her maximum height above the water after leaving the slide? Hint: it is possible to do this without doing projectile motion, even desirable as we are trying to learn conservation of energy; this problem does require you to use conservation of energy more than once 3.1 Xm
