A baseball pitcher throws a ball horizontally. The ball falls 83 cm while travelling 18.4 m to
home plate. Calculate the initial horizontal speed of the baseball. Air resistance is negligible.
At t = 0 a rock is projected from ground level with a speed of 15.0 m>s and at an angle of 53.0 above the horizontal. Neglect air resistance. At what two times t is the rock 5.00 m above the ground? At each of these two times, what are the horizontal and vertical components of the velocity of the rock? Let v0x and v0y be in the positive x- and y-directions, respectively.
An item with beginning speed vo is projected from the edge of the
roof of a structure of height H. The object's initial velocity produces
an angle a0 with the horizontal. Don't think about air resistance.
What is the speed of the item shortly before it hits the ground if a0 =
-90 and the object is thrown straight down?

- In a carnival booth, you win a stuffed giraffe if you toss a quarter into a small dish. The dish is on a shelf above the point where the quarter leaves your hand and is a horizontal distance of 2.1 m from this point.

At the same time, a second student throws a lighter blue ball horizontally from the same balcony with an initial speed vo/2. Ignoring air resistance, which of the following statements must be true? [There may be more than one correct answer.] Both balls hit the ground with the same angle of impact.

Assume the airplane flew horizontally at an altitude of 215 m with a constant velocity of 56.0 m/s and dropped one bale of hay every 3.0 seconds.
