A cliff with an angled summit 900 m above the valley floor is a popular jumping off point for base jumpers. One particular base jumper gets a running start and runs off the side of the cliff with a velocity of 4.00 m/s at an angle that is 25.0 degrees below the horizontal, as shown. (a) How long is the base jumper in the air before she opens her parachute 150 m above the valley floor? (b) How far (horizontally) is she away from the cliff?

A rock is thrown off a cliff at an angle of 53° with respect to the horizontal. The cliff is 100 m high. The initial speed of the rock is 30 m/s. (a) How high above the edge of the cliff does the rock rise? (b) How far has it moved horizontally when it is at maximum altitude? (c) How long after the release does it hit the ground? (d) What is the range of the rock? (e) What are the horizontal and vertical positions of the rock relative to the edge of the cliff at t = 2.0 s, t = 4.0 s, and t = 6.0 s?
A baseball leaves the bat with a speed of 47 m/s and an angle of 45 degrees above the horizontal. A 5.0 m high fence is located at the horizontal distance of 137 m from the point where the ball is struck. Assuming the ball leaves the bat 1.0 m above ground level, by how much does the ball clear the fence?
In 2007, Michael Carter (U.S.) set a world record in the shot put with a throw of 24.77 m. What was the initial speed of the shot if he released it at a height of 2.10 m and threw it at an angle of 38.0° above the horizontal? (Although the maximum distance for a projectile on level ground is achieved at 45° when air resistance is neglected, the actual angle to achieve maximum range is smaller; thus, 38° will give a longer range than 45° in the shot put.)
An arrow leaves its bow with a velocity of 35 m/s. (a) what angle should it leave the bow in order to strike a target 50m away. (b) in how many seconds will it hit the target (c) what is the highest point of its trajectory ANS. (a) 11.8° (b) 11.48m (c) 2.61 m

Calculate (a) the maximum height above the roof that the rock reaches. (b) the speed of the rock just before it strikes the ground; and (c) the horizontal range from the base of the building to the point where the rock strikes the ground.
Problem #1: A cannonball is fired off a cliff at an angle of 25 degrees with respect to the horizontal. The cliff is 80 m high. The initial speed of the rock is 50 m/s.

A young boy standing next to a lake is throwing rocks at a buoy that is 11 m from the shore. For oneparticular throw, the boy throws a rock from an initial position of 1.0 m above the ground at an angle of 55◦above the horizontal, and after reaching a maximum height of 5.1 m above the water, the rock continues onits parabolic path and lands right on top of the buoy.(a) What is the initial speed of the rock?(b) How tall is the buoy relative to the surface of the water? You can assume that the boy is standing rightat the edge of the water, and the ground where he is standing is level with the surface of the water
A ball is launched horizontally from the top of a 100 m tall building and lands 150 m (horizontal distance) from the base of the building. Ignore air resistance. (a) How long in seconds is the ball in the air? (b) What must have been the initial horizontal component of the velocity in m/s? (c) What is the vertical component of the velocity in m/s just before the ball hits the ground? (d) What is the speed or magnitude of the resultant velocity (including both the horizontal and vertical components) in m/s of the ball just before it hits the ground?
A projectile is thrown from the top of a cliff with an initial speed of 25 m/s at an angle of 600 up from the horizontal. If the projectile lands 100 m from the base of the cliff how tall is the cliff?
In 2007, Michael Carter (U.S.) set a world record in the shot put with a throw of 24.77 m.
