 Suppose you are carrying a ball and running at a constant speed, and wish to throw the ball and catch it as it comes back down. Neglecting air resistance, should you (a) throw the ball at an angle of about 45 degree above the horizontal and maintain the same speed, (b) throw the ball straight up in the air and slow down to catch it, or (c) throw the ball straight up in the air and maintain the same speed?

An outfielder throws a baseball to his catcher in an attempt to throw out a runner at home plate. The ball bounces once before reaching the catcher. Assume the angle at which the bounced ball leaves the ground is the same as the angle at which the outfielder threw it as shown in Figure below, but that the ball’s speed after the bounce is one-half of what it was before the bounce. Assume the ball is always thrown with the same initial speed and ignore air resistance. At what angle θ should the fielder throw the ball to make it go the same distance D with one bounce (blue path) as a ball thrown upward at 45.0° with no bounce (green path)?

A football quarterback throws a pass at an angle of 41.3°. Hereleases the pass 3.50 m behind the line of scrimmage. His receiverleft the line of scrimmage 2.4 s earlier, going straight down-fieldat a constant speed of 7.50 m/s. With what speed must thequarterback throw the ball so that the pass lands gently in thereceiver's hands without the receiver breaking stride? Assume thatthe ball is released at the same height it is caught and that thereceiver is straight downfield from the quarterback at the time ofrelease. (Ignore any effects due to air resistance.)
