A horizontal projectile is shot with an initial velocity of 21 m/s from a height of 6.3 m above the ground. Neglecting air-resistance, how long it will take to reach the landing point (time in the air measured in seconds)?
A student standing on the ground throws a ball straight up. The ball leaves the student's hand with a speed of 11 m/s when the hand is 1.9m above the ground. How long is the ball in the air before it hits the ground? (The student moves her hand out of the way.)
A ball is shot vertically into the air at a velocity of 60m/s. After 4 sec, another ball is shot vertically into the air. What initial velocity must the second ball have in order to meet the first ball 120 m from the ground?
