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 tennis player hits the tennis ball at a distance of 10 m from the net. The ball is hitat a height of 1.2 m above ground so that it starts moving with a velocity of 30 m/s ina horizontal direction (parallel to the ground). The height of the net is 90 cm. What is the angle the tennis player has to hit the ball so it will just clear thenet?
A flare is shot horizontally from a flare gun located 60.0 m above the ground. Theflare’s speed as it leaves the gun is 200 m/s. Neglect wind resistance. a) What horizontal distance does the flare travel before striking the ground?b) What is its speed immediately before striking the ground? c) If the projectile were simply dropped from 60.0 m, instead of fired horizontally fromthat height, how much time would it take to reach the ground? How does this compare with the time it took to hit the ground in part (a)? Why?
