Black vultures excel at gliding flight; they can move long distances through the air without flapping their wings while undergoing only a modest drop in height. A vulture in a typical glide in still air moves along a path tipped 3.5° below the horizontal. If the vulture moves a horizontal distance of 100 m, how much height does it lose?

A long jumper can jump a distance of 8.0 m when he takes off at an angle of 45° with respect to the horizontal. Assuming he can jump with the same initial speed at all angles, how much distance does he lose by taking off at 30°?
A whale comes to the surface to breathe, and then dives at an angle θ = 16.0° below the horizontal. How deep is the whale after traveling in a straight line for 160 m.?
A novice golfer on the green takes three strokes to sink the ball. The successive displacements are 3.9m to the north, 9.4 m 45° north of east, and 9.5m 50° west of south. Starting at the same initial point, an expert could make the hole in a single displacement. What is the magnitude of this single displacement in meters?
The problem relates to the gliding flight of flying squirrels. These squirrels glide from tree to tree at a constant speed, moving in a straight line tipped below the vertical and steadily losing altitude as they move forward. Short and long glides have different profiles. A squirrel completing a short glide travels in a straight line tipped 40° below the horizontal. The squirrel starts 9.0 m above the ground on one tree and glides to a second tree that is a horizontal distance of 3.5 m away.a. What is the length of the squirrel’s glide path?b. What is the squirrel’s height above the ground when it lands?
The 1994 Winter Olympics included the aerials competition in skiing. In this event skiers speed down a ramp that slopes sharply upward at the end. The sharp upward slope launches them into the air, where they perform acrobatic maneuvers. In the women's competition, the end of a typical launch ramp is directed 59° above the horizontal. With this launch angle, a skier attains a height of 14 m above the end of the ramp. What is the skier's launch speed?
The angle of elevation is the angle formed by a horizontal line and a line joining the observer’s eye to an object above the horizontal line. A person is 1000 feet way from the launch point of a hot air balloon. The hot air balloon is starting to come back down at a rate of 5 ft/sec. At what rate is the angle of elevation, θ, changing when the hot air balloon is 400 feet above the ground.
A monster truck launches off a ramp 4.5m high at a velocity of 75m/s 52° above the horizontal.This will allow the truck to clear a plane 13.2 m tall. What is the maximum width that the plane can be?

Questions 1 through 3 pertain to the situation described below: An archer wants to launch an arrow from a bow to clear a treetop that is 35.0 m vertically above, and 97.0 m horizontally away from, the launching location.

A cannon is fired over level ground at an angle of 30 degrees to the horizontal. The initial velocity at this angle is 80 m/s, but this velocity may be separated into a vertical velocity component of 40 m/s and a horizontal velocity component of 69.3 m/s. How far does the cannonball travel horizontally?
