A spring-gun projects a small rock from the ground with speed v0 at an angle ?0 above the ground. You have been asked to determine v0. From the way the spring-gun is constructed, you know that to a good approximation v0 is independent of the launch angle. You go to a level, open field, select a launch angle, and measure the horizontal distance the rock travels. You use g = 9.80 m/s2 and ignore the small height of the end of the spring-guns barrel above the ground. Since your measurement includes some uncertainty in values measured for the launch angle and for the horizontal range, you repeat the measurement for several launch angles and obtain the results given in (Figure 1) You ignore air resistance because there is no wind and the rock is small and heavy.
a) Use the slope of the best straight-line fit to your data from the previous part to calculate v0.
b)When the launch angle is 35.9 ? , what maximum height above the ground does the rock reach?
Horizontal velocity = vo cosθo
Vertical velocity = vo sin θo
time of flight = 2 vo sin θo/g
Range R = vo cosθo * 2 vo sin θo/g = (vo2 sin 2θo)/g
So the slope of the R- Sin 2θo curve gives vo2/g
=> vo2/g = 11
=> vo = 10.38 m/s
b) theta = 35.9 degree
vertical velocity intial, u =10.38 sin 35.9 = 6.0865 m/s
Maximum height = u2/2g = 1.89 m

A rock is thrown from the roof of a building with a velocity v0 at an angle of α0 from the horizontal. The building has height h. You can ignore air resistance. Calculate the magnitude of the velocity of the rock just before it strikes the ground.
A rock is thrown with an initial speed v0 from the top of a building at an angle θ (theta) above the horizontal. It hits the ground below after traveling a horizontal distance L. Find an expression for the height of the building. Your answer should be in terms of v0, L, θ (theta), and g, as needed. Please show all work!

A rock thrown with speed 6.00 m/s and launch angle 30.0 ∘ (above the horizontal) travels a horizontal distance of d = 16.5 m before hitting the ground. From what height was the rock thrown? Use the value g = 9.800 m/s2 for the free-fall acceleration. Find the height yi from which the rock was launched.
An arrow is shot from a bow at ground level at a speed v0 and an angle of 37o with respect to horizontal. It lands 960 m away (assuming level ground throughout). Find v0 and max height of arrow
A toy gun uses a spring with a force constant of 350 N/m to propel a 14.0 g steel ball. The spring is compressed 8.80 cm and friction is negligible. (a) How much force (in N) is needed to compress the spring? (Assume the gun is aimed in the positive direction. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)

A metal marble is launched with a speed of v0 = 30.0m/s at 5.0 ◦ relative to the horizontal, from a height of 1.0 m above ground, and towards a very tall vertical wall, which is 6.0 m away from the launch position. The projectile may first hit the wall, or the ground. Whichever it turns out to be, assume that this is an elastic, specular collision, so that the projectile bounces off. After some time, the projectile will have...
