A hawk is flying horizontally at 18.0 m/s in a straight line, 155 m above the ground. A mouse it has been carrying struggles free from its talons. The hawk continues on its path at the same speed for 2.00 s before attempting to retrieve its prey. To accomplish the retrieval, it dives in a straight line at constant speed and recaptures the mouse 6.00 m above the ground. (a) Assuming no air resistance acts on the mouse, find the diving speed of the hawk. 46.11 46.1 m/s (b) What angle did the hawk make with the horizontal during its descent? 67 67 ° (below the horizontal) (c) For what time interval did the mouse experience free fall? 5.51 5.51 s

(a) How long is the stone "in flight?" (b) What is the speed of the stone just = 20.0 m/s (0, 0) 30.0 before it strikes the ground? 45.0 m (x- 45.0)
A man stands on the roof of a 15.0 m tall building and throws a rock with a speed of 30.0 m/s at an angle of 35° above the horizontal. Ignore air resistance. Calculate (a) the maximum height above the roof that the rock reaches.

A hawk is flying horizontally at 10.0 m/s in a straight line, 200 m above the ground. A mouse it has been carrying struggles free from its talons. The mindless hawk continues on its path at the same speed for 2.00 s before realizing and attempts to retrieve its prey. To accomplish the retrieval, it dives in a straight line at constant speed and recaptures the poor mouse 3.00 m above the ground. (a) Assuming no air resistance acts on the mouse, sketch a diagram for this situation and find the diving speed of the hawk. (b) What angle did the hawk make with the horizontal during its descent? (c) For what time interval did the mouse experience free fall?
A golf ball rolls off a horizontal cliff with an initial speed of 11.1 m/s. The ball falls a vertical distance of 17.2 m into a lake below. (a)How much time does the ball spend in the air? (b) What is the speed v of the ball just before it strikes the water?
You are hiking in the rocky canyon lands of Utah and eventually realize you are lost. You climb up to stand on one of the tall rocks and shoot a flaming arrow into the air to signal your distress. You shoot the arrow with an initial speed of 30.0 m/s at an angle of 60.0° above the horizontal. The arrow hits the ground 7.50 seconds later. (Neglect air resistance.) (a) What maximum height does the arrow reach above its launch point? (b) Relative to the launch point, where does the projectile land? Give your answer in Cartesian (x,y) coordinates as well as polar (r,0) coordinates.
