downward at a 60 degree angle with an initial velocity equal to 12
m/s. What's the acceleration 9.8 seconds after the stone is
thrown? 1g |

Bozo, the physicist, throws a pie at a velocity of 12 m/s. It
makes an angle of 30 degrees with the horizon as it leaves his
hand. How far will the pie travel before hitting a policeperson at
the same height as the pie was thrown?
12.48 m |

Sir Winford fires a giant rock from a trebuchet at a 60 degree
angle with the horizontal and it lands 150 yards in front of him.
He then fires a second rock with a 25% more mass at an angle of 30
degrees and the same initial velocity as the first. What is the
second rock's range? 150 yards |

Bozo, the physicist, gets zapped with a Tesla coil as he stands on
top of his lab building. This causes him to jump over the edge at
a velocity of 5 m/s. The building is 3 meters high. As he jumps,
Bozo makes a 20 degree angle with the horizon. |

c) What is the horizontal velocity at the top?
4.7 m/s |

hitting the ground? 2.9 m |
| |
|
e) What is the x-velocity just before it hits
the ground? 4.7 m/s |

|
f) At what point in the Bozo's path is the
velocity highest? just before hitting the
ground |
