1. A bullet hit a target 301.5 m away. What maximum height above the muzzle did the bullet reach if it was shot at an angle of 25 degrees to the ground? A projectile is shot from the edge of a cliff 125 m above ground level with an initial speed of 65.0 m/s at an angle of 37o above the horizontal. Determine the magnitude and the direction of the velocity at the maximum height. A boy kicked a can horizontally from a 6.5 m high rock with a speed of 4.0 m/s. How far from the base of the rock the can land? A projectile has an initial velocity of 15.0 m/s at an angle of 30 degrees above the horizontal. What is the location of the projectile 2.0 seconds later? A projectile is fired with an initial velocity of 120 m/s at an angle above the horizontal. If the projectile's initial horizontal speed is 55 m/s, then at what angle was it fired? A flea stands 2.00 m from a dog's haunches which are 55 cm in height. Jumping at an angle of 32 degrees, what initial speed must the flea have to reach her new home? Water is leaving a hose at 6.8 m/s. If the target is 2 m away horizontally, what angle should the water leave the hose at?
