A projectile is launched from level ground. The initial vertical component of its velocity is 0.75 m/s and the initial horizontal component of its velocity is 0.84 m/s. Calculate the horizontal distance it travels in metres. Record your answer to TWO DECIMAL PLACES

A projectile is fired at an angle such that the vertical component of its velocity and the horizontal component of its velocity are both equal to 50 m/s. The amount of time it takes for the ball to reach its highest point is ..... . State your answer to two decimal places. The horizontal distance the ball travels in this time is ..... State your answer to one decimal place.

Use the model for projectile motion, assuming there is no air resistance and g = 32 feet per second per second. A baseball player at second base throws a ball 90 feet to the player at first base. The ball is released at a point 5 feet above the ground with an initial speed of 50 miles per hour and at an angle of 15° above the horizontal. At what height does the player at first base catch the ball? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
