In fighting forest fires, airplanes work in support of ground crews by dropping water on the fires. For practice, a pilot drops a canister of red dye, hoping to hit a target on the ground below. If the plane is flying in a horizontal path 90.0 m above the ground and has a speed of 64.0 m/s 1143 mi/h2, at what horizontal distance from the target should the pilot release the canister? Ignore air resistance.

A frog sat on a lily pad on the surface of a lake. The frog jumped from the lily pad onto a flat grassy lawn. The nearest edge of the lawn was a horizontal distance 2.41 meters from the lily pad and a vertical distance 0.34 meters above the lily pad. The frog left the lily pad with a speed of 10.4 meters per second and a velocity inclined at an angle of 61 degrees above horizontal. Once the frog was in the air, the only significant force on the frog was gravity with g = 10 meters per second squared. Calculate the distance a, in units of meters, from the edge of the grassy lawn to the place where the frog landed.
Nathan Hunt is faced with the following problem in one of his impossible missions. A briefcase full of secret documents is just thrown from the top of a building with an initial speed vpo = 5 m/s at an angle 0 from the vertical. Hunt is on the next building. As soon as the briefcase is thrown, he leaves the roof of the building horizontally with an initial speed vy0. VB,0 H VH,0 Relevant quantities: e = 37°, H = 8 m and D = 11 m. (a) If Hunt wants to catch the briefcase, with which initial speed he should leave the rooftop? VH,0= (b) How long will it take Hunt to catch the briefcase? t =
A physics student stands on a cliff overlooking a lake and decides to throw a golf ball to her friends in the water below. She throws the golf ball with a velocity of 20.5 m/s at an angle of 40.5° above the horizontal. When the golf ball leaves her hand, it is 18.5 m above the water. How far does the golf ball travel horizontally before it hits the water? Neglect any effects of air resistance when calculating the answer. horizontal distance: m
A catapult on a cliff launches a large round rock towards a ship on the ocean below. The rock leaves the catapult from a height H of 31.0 m above sea level, directed at an angle θ above the horizontal with an unknown speed v0. What is the vertical component of the rock's velocity at its maximum height?
A physics student stands on a cliff overlooking a lake and decides to throw a tennis ball to her friends in the water below. She throws the tennis ball with a velocity of 25.5 m/s at an angle of 38.5° above the horizontal. When the tennis ball leaves her hand, it is 10.5 m above the water. How far does the tennis ball travel horizontally before it hits the water? Neglect any effects of air resistance when calculating the answer. horizontal distance:

A rescue plane spots a pair of lost hikers in the wilderness. The plane is traveling horizontally at 40 m/s at a height of 132 m above the ground. At what horizontal distance from the hikers should the pilot release a rescue package?
A rock is thrown with an initial speed of 15 m/s at an angle of 35.0 degrees above the horizontal from the top of a 30.0-m-tall tower. Assume air resistance is negligible, and g = 9.8 m/s2. What is the direction of the rock as it hits the ground?
Two friends are playing catch. They both are about the same height so the release height of the ball when thrown and the height of the catch are both 1.75 meters above the ground. The friend on the right throws the ball at a speed of 15 m/s at an angle of 33° above the horizontal. Assume you can ignore air resistance for this problem. (1) What are the horizontal and vertical components of the initial velocity of the ball? (2) How far away should the second friend stand to catch the ball (at a height of 1.75 m above the ground)? 1: You'll first need to solve for the time the ball is in the air. 2: If you don't know how to solve for time, then pick a value for the time the ball is in the air and perform your remaining calculations using that value for time
The 1994 Winter Olympics included the aerials competition in skiing. In this event skiers speed down a ramp that slopes sharply upward at the end. The sharp upward slope launches them into the air, where they perform acrobatic maneuvers. In the women's competition, the end of a typical launch ramp is directed 59° above the horizontal. With this launch angle, a skier attains a height of 14 m above the end of the ramp. What is the skier's launch speed?
