A playground is on the flat roof of a city school, 6.00 m abovethe street below (Fig. P3.19). The vertical wall of the buildingis h = 7.00 m high, to form a 1-m-high railing around the playground.A ball has fallen to the street below, and a passerbyreturns it by launching it at an angle of θ = 53.0° above thehorizontal at a point d = 24.0 m from the base of the buildingwall. The ball takes 2.20 s to reach a point vertically abovethe wall. (a) Find the speed at which the ball was launched.(b) Find the vertical distance by which the ball clears the wall.(c) Find the horizontal distance from the wall to the point onthe roof where the ball lands.

In a basketball game, two teammates are going to pass a ball to each otherstarting together from center half court. Assuming that we are looking at abasketball court in bird’s eye view, player A is moving “north” towards one endof the court going 9 m/s. Player B, who is now moving 76◦away to the rightpasses the ball to player A with the ball going 14 m/s. What are the magnitudeand direction of the ball’s velocity going towards player A?
