A friend is holding a potato gun at a 40 degree angle from the
very bottom. It sends out a potato which travels a horizontal
distance of 850m.
a. How long does it take the potato to hit the ground?
b. Your friend has unfortunately not so much as held the potato
gun as wedged it in the ground, supporting it vertically but not
horizontally. As a result, the bottom end that they hold doesn't
move, but the top of the gun moves backward in a circle due to
the torque of the recoil. If the potato gun is 2 meters long, and
your friend's face is also about 2 meters above the ground, so
that it collides with the potato gun once the gun has become
vertical, then how quickly is the gun moving when it hits your
friend's face?
Sand is moving down a conveyor belt (with
angle 15° from horizontal) at 6.0 m/s. You
want the sand to enter a bucket that is 3.0 m
below the end of the belt. How far in the
horizontal directio, d, do you have to place
the center of the bucket to ensure that the
sand enters it?

- For this problem think about a long jumper who takes off and lands from different heights. This is due to the center of gravity being higher when they leave the ground then when they contact the sand if the jumper has a horizontal distance traveled of 7.5 m in an initial horizontal velocity of 6.1 m/s and a takeoff angle of 30°.

Assume that the top end of the incline is 1.00 m (horizontally) from the boy's door and that the hallway is 1.00 m wide. Who is right?
