Skeet Shooting is an Olympic sport for rifle marksmen. A skeet is a clay target. A lady marksman goes out to practice and sets her skeet launcher at a position 25 meters north and 40 meters west from where she intends to stand. When she yells “Pull!”, a skeet is launched due East at an angle of 37 degrees above the ground with an initial speed, vo. The marksman only fires due north. Two seconds after she yells “Pull!”, the bullet from her gun hits the clay skeet in the air. At what height did the clay skeet shatter? Neglect air friction effects. {Use sin(37o) = 3/5; cos(37o) = 4/5; and g = 10 m/s2 }

Then while your opponent is watching that snowball, you throw a second one at a low angle timed to arrive before or at the same time as the first one. Assume that both snowballs are thrown with a speed of 30.0 m/s. The first is thrown at an angle of 65.0° with respect to the horizontal.
