Textbook Question
Chapter 2, Problem 2.20P
A gun fires a projectile of mass 10 kg of the type to which the curves of Figure 2-3 apply. The muzzle velocity is 140 m/s. Through what angle must the barrel be elevated to hit a target on the same horizontal plane as the gun and 1000 m away? Compare the results with those for the case of no retardation.

(a) Determine the kinetic energy per unit mass that a missile must have after being fired from the surface of the earth if it is to reach an infinite distance from the earth. (b) What is the initial velocity of the missile (called the escape velocity)? Give your answers in SI units and show that the answer to part b is independent of the firing angle.
A force of 16 N is applied continuously at an angle of 30° to a 50 kg body as
shown in the figure. Compute the velocity of the body after it has moved 20 m
from rest. Neglect friction. (Work)
A girl throws a ball at an inclined wall from a height of 3 ft, hitting the wall at A with a horizontal velocity v0 of magnitude 25 ft/s. Knowing that the coefficient of restitution between the ball and the wall is 0.9 and neglecting friction, determine the distance d from the foot of the wall to the point B where the ball will hit the ground after bouncing off the wall.
