On a windy day, Jenn and Frank accidently get their kite caught in a tree. The kite is stuck 5.0 meters above the ground. Frank finds a kickball and gives it to Jenn to throw up at the kite to knock it down. In order to see the kite, Jenn stands 3.0 meters from the base of the tree. She throws the ball from an initial height of 1.6 meters. The ball reaches a maximum height of 6.0 meters before falling and hitting the kite from above, successfully knocking the kite out of the tree. At what angle did she throw the ball?

A wildebeest and a chicken participate in a race over a 1.90 km long course. The wildebeest travels at a speed of 15.0 m/s and the chicken can do 3.30 m/s. The wildebeest runs for 1.520 km and then stops to tease the slow-moving chicken, which eventually passes by. The wildebeest waits for a while after the chicken passes and then runs toward the finish line. Both animals cross the finish line at the exact same instant. Assume both animals, when moving, move steadily at their respective speeds. How far (in m) is the chicken from the finish line when the wildebeest resumes the race? For how long in time (in s) was the wildebeest stationary?
