A golfer on a level fairway hits a ball at an angle of 20 degrees, and it travels 127 yards before striking the ground. The golfer then hits another ball from the same spot with the same speed, but at a different angle. This ball also travels 127 yards. (a) At what angle was the second ball hit?

A player kicks a football at an angle of 35° with the horizontal and with an initial velocity of 14.8 m/s. A second player standing at a distance of 26.0 m from the first player in the direction of the kick starts running to meet the ball at the instant it is kicked. (a) At what rate should the second player accelerate to catch the ball? (b) What would be the speed of the second player upon catching the ball?
A rock is thrown off a cliff at an angle of 53° with respect to the horizontal. The cliff is 100 m high. The initial speed of the rock is 30 m/s. (a) How high above the edge of the cliff does the rock rise? (b) How far has it moved horizontally when it is at maximum altitude? (c) How long after the release does it hit the ground? (d) What is the range of the rock? (e) What are the horizontal and vertical positions of the rock relative to the edge of the cliff at t = 2.0 s, t = 4.0 s, and t = 6.0 s?
A player kicks a football at an angle of 37 degrees with the horizontal and with an initial speed of 16 m/s. A second player standing at a distance of 33m from the first in the direction of the kick starts running to meet the ball at the instant it is kicked, Assuming the player is already running at constant speed, how fast must he run in order to catch the ball before it hits the ground?
A golfer on a level fairway hits a ball at an angle of 32° to the horizontal that travels 89 yd before striking the ground. He then hits another ball from the same spot with the same speed, but at a different angle. This ball also travels 89 yd. At what angle was the second ball hit? (Neglect air resistance.)
A placekicker is about to kick a field goal. The ball is 20.4 m from the goalpost. The ball is kicked with an initial velocity of 23.4 m/s at an angle above the ground. Between what two angles, 8₁ and ₂, will the ball clear the 2.57-m-high crossbar? Give your answers as (a) the smaller angle and (b) the larger angle. (Hint: The following trigonometric identities may be useful: sec 0-1/(cos) and sec²0-1+tan²8.) (a) Number i (b) Number i Units Units
A ball is thrown straight upward and returns to the thrower’s hand after 3.00 s in the air. A second ball thrown at an angle of 30.0° with the horizontal reaches the same maximum height as the first ball. (a) At what speed was the first ball thrown? (b) At what speed was the second ball thrown?
A rugby player passes the ball 7.00 m across the field, where it is caught at the same height as it left his hand. (a) At what angle was the ball thrown if its initial speed was 12.0 m/s, assuming that the smaller of the two possible angles was used? (b) What other angle gives the same range, and why would it not be used? (c) How long did this pass take?
A baseball leaves the bat of Henry Aaron with a speed of 34 m/s at an angle of 370 above the horizontal. The ball is 1.2 m off the ground when it leaves the bat. To be a home run, the ball must clear a fence that is 3.0 m high and 106 m from the batter. (a.) At what times after being hit will it reach the height of the fence? (b.) How far from the batter will the ball be at these times? (c.) Will Henry have a home run? Explain.
