A projectile is launched at an angle of 25 degrees from the horizontal. It strikes the ground at 360 meter away from the point where it was launched. For what other angle of launched at the same speed would the projectile land at the same range? Why?
You are stationary on the ground and are watching a bird fly horizontally towards you at a rate of 1 m/s. The bird is located 20 m above your head. How fast does the angle of elevation of your head change when the horizontal distance between you and the bird is 50 m? (Leave your answer as an exact number.)
A projectile is fired with a initial velocity of 60 m/s,
upward at an angle of 30 degrees to the horizontal
from a point 80 meters above the ground. What is
the horizontal distance (in meters) will it cover
before it strikes the ground? Round off your
answer to the nearest whole number.
