A catapult launches a pumpkin from the base of a hill. The hill follows an incline with the height in meters, y, in terms of horizontal distance in meters, x, given by the equation y = 0.9x. The height of the pumpkin, as it is launched uphill, is given by the function y = -0.1x² + 4.9x What is the height, in meters, where the pumpkin lands on the hill?

In an attempt to escape a desert island, a castaway builds a raft and sets out to sea. The wind shifts a great deal during the day, and she is blown along the following straight lines: 2.50 km and 45.0 north of west, then 4.70 km and 60.0 south of east, then 130 km and 25.0 of west, then 5.10 km due east, then 1.70 km and 5.00 east of north, then 7.20 km and 55.0 south of west, and finally 2.80 km and 10.0 north of east. Use the analytical method to find the resultant vector of all her displacement vectors. What is its magnitude and direction?
In 1999, Robbie Knievel was the first to jump the Grand Canyon on a motorcycle. At a narrow part of the canyon (69.0 m wide) and traveling 35.8 m/s off the takeoff ramp, he reached the other side. What was his launch angle?
The figure shows the path taken by a drunk skunk over level ground, from initial point i ta final point f. The angles are 0, - 31.0, 0, - 46.0, and 0, - 84,0, and the distances ared, - 5.20 m, d, - 7.10 m, and dy - 12.0 m. What are the (a) magnitude and (b) angle of the skunk's displacerment fromi to f? Give the angle as a pusitive (cuunterckockwise) ur nugative (clotkwise) angle of magnitude less than 180', measured from the +xdlirection. (a) Number Units (b) Number Unils
The displacement vectors and B shown in Figure P3.9 magnitudes 3.00 m. The direction of vec- both have of 30.0°. Find gra- tor A is 0 phically (a) A+ B, (b) Ả-B, (с) В — А, and (d) A — 2B. (Report all angles counterclock- wise from the positive x axis.)
Use the component method to add the vectors A and B shown in Figure P3.9. Both vectors have mag- nitudes of 3.00 m and vector A makes an angle of 0 = 30.0° with the x axis. Express the resultant Á + B in unit-vector notation.
In my homework, I am asked to derive an equation for V0. The homework question is as follows: A howitzer fires a shell with a velocity of v0 at an angle Θ above the horizontal. The howitzer is on a plateau and the shell lands down in the plain below, a vertical distance d below the plateau and a horizontal distance L from where the howitzer is. Derive an expression for the magnitude of the initial velocity, V0, as a function of d, L, g, and Θ. Any help would be appreciated as I have worked on this problem for quite a while and I am not making progress.

A ball is thrown eastward into the air from the origin (in the direction of the positive x-axis). The initial velocity is 501 +48 k, with speed measured in feet per second. The spin of the ball results in a southward acceleration of 10 ft/s², so the acceleration vector is a = -101-32 k. Where does the ball land?
