Solution
In a scene in an action movie, a
stuntman jumps from the top of one
building to the top of another building
4.0 m away. After a running start, he
leaps at a velocity of 5.0 m/s at an
angle of 15° with respect to the flat
roof. Will he make it to the other roof,
which is 2.5 m shorter than the
building he jumps from?
Solution
A golfer hits a golf ball at an
angle of 25.0° to the ground. If the
golf ball covers a horizontal
distance of 301.5 m, what is the
ball’s maximum height? (Hint: At
the top of its flight, the ball’s
vertical velocity component will
be zero.)

Solution
A baseball is thrown at
an angle of 25° relative to
the ground at a speed of
23.0 m/s. If the ball was
caught 42.0 m from the
thrower, how long was it
in the air? How high did
the ball travel before
being caught?
Solution
Salmon often jump waterfalls to
reach their breeding grounds. One
salmon starts 2.00 m from a
waterfall that is 0.55 m tall and
jumps at an angle of 32.0°. What
must be the salmon’s minimum
speed to reach the waterfall?
