A celebrating student throws a water balloon horizontally from a window 50 m above the ground. It hits the ground 60 m from the building without appreciable air resistance.
(a) What is the horizontal component of the velocity of the balloon just before it hits the ground?
(b) What is the magnitude of the vertical velocity of the balloon just before it hits the ground?
It is given that water balloon is thrown in horizontal direction from a height of 50 m.
It hits at a distance of 60 m.
Here solution is attached on the scanned paper. First and second equations of motion are used. First I have calculated time required to hit the balloon to ground. With the help of time initial velocity of throwing is calculated and then horizontal and vertical components of velocity at the time just before the balloon hits the ground is calculated.

A student who can swim with a speed of 2.5 m/s in still water wants to get to the other side of a 400 m wide river whose...
A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a 95 m building and lands 110 m from the base of the building. Ignore air resistance, and use a coordinate system whose origin is at the top of the building, with positive y upwards and positive x in the direction of the throw. Part (a) How long is the ball in the air in seconds? Part (b) what must have been the initial horizontal component of the velocity, in meters per second? Part(c)...

A student throws a water balloon with speed yo from a height h = 1.74 m at an θ = 29° above the horizontal toward a target on the ground. The target is located a horizontal distance d= 7.5 m from the student's feet. Assume that the balloon moves without air resistance. Use a Cartesian coordinate system with the origin at the balloon's initial position.
