A bullet is fired from a rifle with a speed v0 at an angle(Theta) with respect to the horizontal axis from a cliff that is aheight h above the ground below.
(a) Calculate the speed of the bullet when it strikes the ground.(Use the following as necessary: v0, h, and g.)
v =

(b) Is your result independent of the value of Theta?

If a projectile is fired with an initial velocity of v0 meters per second at an angle a above the horizontal and air resistance is assumed to be negligible, then its position after t seconds is given by the parametric equations x=(v0 cos α)t, y=(v0 sin α)t−1/2gt2 where g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2). If a gun is fired with α=30° and v0=500 m/s, when will the bullet hit the ground? How far from the gun will it hit the ground? What is the maximum height reached by the bullet?

A projectile is launched with speed v0 at an angle theta with respect to the horizontal. At the peak of its motion, it explodes into two pieces of equal mass, which continue to move in the original plane of motion. One piece strikes the ground a horizontal distance D farther from the launch point than the point directly below the explosion at a time t<v0sin/g. How high does the other piece go? Answer in terms of v0, theta, g, and t.

A person stands on a cliff with a vertical height of d= 8m above the level ground and throws a stone with a velocity V0= 16 m/s at an angle theta= 32 degrees below horizontal. the stone moves without air resistance; use a cartesian coordinate system with the origin at the stone's initial position. With what speed, Vf in m/s, does the stone strike the ground?
