1) A bullet has a speed of 350 m/sec as it leaves a rifle. If it is fired horizontally from a cliff 6.

4 m above a lake, how far does the bullet travel before striking the water? 2) A player kicks a football at an angle of 37o with the horizontal and with an initial speed of 48 ft/sec. A second player standing at a distance of 100 ft from the first in the direction of the kick starts running to meet the ball at the instant it is kicked. How fast must he run in order to catch the ball before it hits the ground? 3) A projectile shot at an angle of 60o above the horizontal strikes a building 80 ft away at a point 48 ft above the point of projection. (a) Find the initial velocity, (b) Find the magnitude & direction of the velocity when it strikes the building. 4) A basketball player releases the ball 7 ft above the floor when he is 30 ft from the basket. The ball goes through the rim of the basket (which is 10 ft above the floor) 1.5 seconds after release. Find the initial velocity, and the maximum height above the floor reached by the ball. 5) You wish to fire an anti-aircraft shell to intercept an enemy plane flying towards you at 600 mph and an altitude of 42,000 ft. If the plane is initially 20 miles away, and your artillery piece has a muzzle velocity of 2000 ft/sec, how long to you have to adjust the piece to an angle of 60o and fire?
