A rifle is fired from the top of a 90 m tall building. The initial velocity of the bullet is 350 m/s, and the rifle is pointed 30 degrees above the horizontal. How far horizontally from the face of the building will the bullet strike the ground?
In a live fire exercise, an Army artillery team fires an artillery shell from a howitzer. The barrel of the howitzer makes a 54.0° angle above horizontal, and the speed of the shell upon exiting the barrel is 350 m/s. The shell hits a target on the side of a mountain 35.5 s after firing. Assuming the point where the shell exits the barrel to be the origin, and assuming as usual that the x-axis is horizontal and the y-axis is vertical, find the x and y coordinates, in meters, of the target. x = y = m m

A projectile is launched with an initial velocity of 80 m/s at an angle of 30° above the horizontal. Neglecting air resistance, what is horizontal component of the projectile's acceleration
In a live fire exercise, an Army artillery team fires an artillery shell from a howitzer (a relatively small cannon). The barrel makes an angle of 54.0 ° above the horizontal, and the velocity of the projectile as it exits the barrel is 370 m / s. The projectile hits a target on a mountainside 39.0 s after being fired. Assuming that the point where the projectile exits the barrel is the origin, and assuming as usual that the x-axis is horizontal and the y-axis is vertical, find the x and y coordinates, in meters, of the target.
A projectile is fired from ground level at an angle of 40.0° above horizontal at a speed of 30.0 m/s. What is the speed of the projectile when it has reached a height equal to 0.500 of its maximum height?
Problem 7: During a baseball game, a baseball is struck at ground level by a batter. The ball leaves the baseball bat with an initial speed v0 = 36 m/s at an angle θ = 18° above horizontal. Let the origin of the Cartesian coordinate system be the ball's position the instant it leaves the bat. Air resistance may be ignored throughout this problem. a) Express the magnitude of the ball’s initial horizontal velocity v0x in terms of v0 and θ. b) Express the magnitude of the ball’s initial vertical velocity v0y in terms of v0 and θ. c) Find the ball’s maximum vertical height hmax in meters above the ground. d) Enter an expression in terms of v0, θ, and g for the time tmax it takes the ball to travel to its maximum vertical height. e) Calculate the horizontal distance xmax in meters that the ball has traveled when it returns to ground level.
A trebuchet (a catapult) is used to launch a fiery projectile towards a castle. The projectile is 5.0 m above the ground when launched at a velocity of 25 m/s at an angle of 35° above the horizontal. Assuming that the projectile lands on the level ground inside the castle walls answer the following questions. (a) How long was the projectile in the air? (b) How far horizontally did the projectile travel from where it was launched to where it hit the ground? (c) What was the velocity of the projectile just before it hit the ground? (d) Include a
A guy is standing on a relatively flat surface (h = 0 m). A pesky drone is flying overhead at a height of 120 m above the ground and with a velocity of 15 m/s. The guy gets annoyed and fires an arrow with an initial velocity of 100 m/s the instant the horizontal distance between him and the drone is 5 m. At what angle must he fire the arrow in order to hit the drone? Take the guy's height to be 1.8 m. Just to clarify, would shooting an arrow follow the same rules as a regular projectile motion problem? Thanks.
A projectile was fired at an angle of 30.0° above the horizontal with an initial speed of 20 m/s. The same projectile was fired a second time with the sane initial speed of 20 m/s but at a different angle such that the height attained by the projectile in the second launch is one half of the horizontal distance covered by the projectile in the first launch. At what angle was the projectile launched second time?
