A skateboarder shoots off a ramp with a velocity of 7.2 m/s, directed at an angle of 59° above the horizontal. The end of the ramp is 1.0 m above the ground. Let the x axis be parallel to the ground, the +y direction be vertically upward, and take as the origin the point on the ground directly below the top of the ramp. (a) How high above the ground is the highest point that the skateboarder reaches? (b) When the skateboarder reaches the highest point, how far is this point horizontally from the end of the ramp?

An archer shoots an arrow with a velocity of 42.0 m/s at an angle of 55.0° with the horizontal. An assistant standing on the level ground 150 m downrange from the launch point throws an apple straight up with the minimum initial speed necessary to meet the path of the arrow. (a) What is the initial speed of the apple? (b) At what time after the arrow launch should the apple be thrown so that the arrow hits the apple?

10 kg point mass located at the top of a 1.50 m inclined ramp that is without friction. The ramp makes a 30 degree angle with the horizontal. The bottom half of the ramp is on a table and is 0.66 m above the ground. When mass is released from rest, it slides down the ramp ( a=4.9 m/s2 ) & off the table, then goes through the air until it hits the ground. (table & ramp don't move) The...
