A placekicker is attempting to make a 64-yard fi eld goal. If the launch angle of the football is 40°, what is the minimum initial speed u which will allow the kicker to succeed?
30. A quarterback claims that he can throw the football a horizontal distance of 183 m (200 yd). Furthermore, he claims that he can do this bylaunching the ball at the relatively low angle of 30.08 above the horizontal.To evaluate this claim, determine the speed with which this quarterbackmust throw the ball. Assume that the ball is launched and caught at thesame vertical level and that air resistance can be ignored. For comparison,a baseball pitcher who can accurately throw a fastball at 45 m/s (100 mph)would be considered exceptional.
A rifle fires a bullet with a speed of 250 m/s at an angle of 52o above the horizontal. What is the maximum height reached by the bullet?

Daring Darless wishes to cross the Grand Canyon of the Snake River by being shot from a cannon. She wishes to be launched at 62 º relative to the horizontal so she can spend more time in the air waving to the crowd. With what minimum speed must she be launched to cross the 520-m gap? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
A basketball hoop is 3.05m above the court floor with a rim 0.46m in diameter parallel to the court floor. The free-throw line is 3.7m from the center of the rim. Assume the ball is 0.24m in diameter. The ball was released at a height of 2.5m, and shot with an initial angle of 45o above the horizontal, what is the range speeds that the ball must leave the player’s hands to make the basket without the ball hitting the rim? Over that range of trajectories, how long is the ball in the air for that shot?
Mikasa launched a thunder spear from the rooftop of a building (50-m high) at a velocity of 10 m/s with an angle of 45° from the horizontal. If the projectile lands on the nape of the Beast Titan (40-m high fro the ground), how far (horizontally in meters) is the building from the titan?
