1. A ball is thrown with an initial velocity of 22. 0 m/s [30 o to the horizontal]. a) Calculate how much time the ball is in the air. b) Calculate the horizontal distance the ball landed away from it’s starting position. 22 m/s 30°

[fwd] = +ve [up] = +ve Vertical (y) Horizontal (x) (a) (b) the time was 2. 24 s and the horizontal distance (range) was 42. 7 m

2. A paintball directed at a target is shot at an angle of 25 o. If the paintball lands at the same height from which it was launched 3. 0 s later, find the distance from the shooter to the target. [fwd] = +ve [up] = +ve Vertical (y) Horizontal (x) horizontal distance (range) was 94. 7 m

[fwd] = +ve [up] = +ve Vertical (y) Horizontal (x) the horizontal distance (range) was 69. 86 m

Vertical (y) Horizontal (x) the maximum height of the baseball was 12. 23 m

[fwd] = +ve [up] = +ve Vertical (y) Horizontal (x) the time was 4. 536 s the horizontal distance (range) was 161. 5 m

Vertical (y) Horizontal (x) the maximum height of the baseball was 25. 23 m
