The banded archerfish is a species of fish that lives in mangrove estuaries in Asia and Oceania. It has a unique and highly
effective hunting strategy: it shoots an incredibly precise stream of water out of its mouth at almost ten meters per second,
knocking insects and other small animals into the water from nearby branches!

Our hero, a hungry archerfish, has spotted a big, delicious bug sitting on a branch a height ħ above the surface of the water.
The archerfish can shoot its water jet at a speed of vo. The archerfish wants to knock the bug sideways off of the branch, so it
decides to shoot so that its water jet is moving horizontally at the moment when it strikes the bug. The final goal of this
problem is to find the horizontal distance, d, from the branch, and the angle above horizontal, 0, at which archerfish should
shoot.

- A space shuttle lands on a distant planet where the gravitational acceleration is 2.0 ( We do not know thelocal units of length and time , but they are consistent throughout the problem). The shuttle coasts along aleve, frictionless plane with a speed of 6.0. It then coasts up a frictionless ramp of height 5.0 and angle 0f 30°.After a brief ballistic flight, it lands a distance S from the ramp. Solve for S in local units of length.
