1. The ball is kicked from point A with the initial velocity vA = 10 m/s. Determine the maximum height
h it reaches.
2. The ball is kicked from point A with the initial velocity vA = 10 m/s. Determine the range R, and the
speed when the ball strikes the ground.

3. Determine the speed at which the basketball at A must be thrown at the angle of 30o so that it
makes it to the basket at B.

4. A projectile is fired with an initial velocity of vA = 150 m/s off the roof of the building. Determine
the range R where it strikes the ground at B.

5. Measurements of a shot recorded on a videotape during a basketball game are shown. The ball
passed through the hoop even though it barely cleared the hands of the player B who attempted
to block it. Neglecting the size of the ball, determine the magnitude of its initial velocity and the
height h of the ball when it passes over player B

6. The girl always throws the toys at an angle of 30 from point A as shown. Determine the time
between throws so that both toys strike the edges of the pool B and C at the same instant. With
what speed must she throw each toy?

7. It is observed that the skier leaves the ramp A at an angle A = 25° with the horizontal. If he
strikes the ground at B, determine his initial speed vA and the speed at which he strikes the
ground.
