Water from a fire hose is directed toward a building as shown in the figure below. The water leaves the hose at a speed of vi = 40.0 m/s and at an angle of θi = 40.0∘ above the horizontal. The base of the hose (at ground level) is a horizontal distance d = 61.0 m away from the building. Find the height h (in m) where the water strikes the building.

Children playing in a playground on the flat roof of a city school lose their ball to the parking lot below. One of the teachers kicks the ball back up to the children as shown in the figure below. The playground is 4.70 m above the parking lot, and the school building's vertical wall is h = 6.10 m high, forming a 1.40 m high railing around the playground. The ball is launched at an angle of θ = 53.0∘ above the horizontal at a point d = 24.0 m from the base of the building wall. The ball takes 2.20 s to reach a point vertically above the wall. (Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values-including answers submitted in WebAssign-in your calculations.) (a) Find the speed (in m/s) at which the ball was launched. m/s (b) Find the vertical distance (in m) by which the ball clears the wall. m (c) Find the horizontal distance (in m) from the wall to the point on the roof where the ball lands. m (d) What If? If the teacher always launches the ball with the speed found in part (a), what is the minimum angle (in degrees above the horizontal) at which he can launch the ball and still clear the playground railing? (Hint: You may need to use the trigonometric identity sec2⁡(θ) = 1+tan2⁡(θ).) ∘ above the horizontal (e) What would be the horizontal distance (in m) from the wall to the point on the roof where the ball lands in this case? m

A projectile is fired from the edge of a cliff as shown in the figure at an angle of 30∘ above the horizontal. The cliff is 20 m high. The initial velocity is 13.4 m/s. The projectile reaches maximum height at point P and then falls and strikes the ground at point Q. How far from the base of the cliff does the projectile land (in m)? Neglect air resistance and use g = 9.81m s2 as the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity.

A ship maneuvers to a position at a horizontal distance Δx1 = 2.50×103 m from an island's mountain peak with maximum height hM = 1.80×103 m, and fires a projectile at an enemy ship on the other side of the peak, which is at a horizontal distance Δx2 = 6.10×102 m from the peak, as illustrated below. The projectile is shot with an initial velocity vi = 2.50×102 m/s at an angle θ = 75.0∘. Assume no air resistance and ay = −g = −9.80 m/s2. a) What type of motion does the projectile undergo? What type of trajectory does it have? b) Find the maximum height hmax reached by the projectile. c) Find the total time of flight in the air Δttot just before the projectile hits the water surface. d) How close horizontally to the enemy ship does the projectile land? e) How close vertically does the projectile come to the peak?
