A cylindrical section of a tree trunk 50 cm in diameter and 75 cm long, is seen rolling down a road below a sawmill at a speed of 12 m/s. The road has a steady incline of 5%, meaning that if you travel 100 m along the slope of the road, you go down 5 m. Assuming that the log started at the sawmill, at least how far is the sawmill off the road?

Olympus Mons on Mars is the largest volcano in the solar system, at a height of 25 km and with a radius of 312 km. If you are standing on the summit, with what Initial velocity would you have to fire a projectile from a cannon horizontally to clear the volcano and land on the surface of Mars? Note that Mars has an acceleration of gravity of 3.7m/s2 .
A volcano erupted and spit a rock in the atmosphere at an angle of 35 degrees with the horizontal with an initial velocity of 25m/s. The rock hit the ground 20 meters below the crater. What is the downward velocity of the rock before hitting the ground in m/s?

A stone is thrown at a cliff with a height of h. If the stone is thrown with an initial speed of 42 m/s at an angle θ=60° and hits the cliff at A 5.5 seconds later, determine the speed of the stone when it hits A. Use g = 10 m/s/s.
A motorcyclist’s stunt requires him to cross a ravine. He starts from a ramp on the left which is inclined at an angle of 45 degrees. His motorcycle is going at 30m/s when he leaves the ramp. He makes it just across and lands on the opposite side of the ravine on a ramp that has a height 4 meters below the first. How wide is the ravine?
A cannon is on the edge of a vertical cliff 50 m high. The cannon then fires horizontally giving the cannon ball a speed of 420 m/s. What is the speed of impact (in m/s) of the cannon ball?
You practice shooting at a target that is placed 22 m away from and 2 m below the nozzle of your toy gun, which has a barrel of length 0.6 m. You find out that you can hit the target when you fire upwards at an angle of 30⁰. What is the acceleration of the toy bullet in the barrel ?
A volcano erupted and spit a rock in the atmosphere at an angle of 35 degrees with the horizontal with an initial velocity of 25m/s. The rock hit the ground 20 meters below the crater. What is the horizontal velocity of the rock in m/s?
A roadrunner is cruising at 14 m/s without knowing the road under its feet is about to run out, at the edge of a cliff, some 45 m above a flat valley below. Fortunately a roadrunner CAN fly so it just flew away. If indeed the roadrunner couldn't fly and would not be affected by air drag, what was the magnitude of the final speed when it hit the valley?
