A projectile is fired with speed v₀ at an angle from the horizontal as shown in the figure.

What is the highest point in the trajectory H in terms of acceleration due to gravity g, velocity v_0, and angle θ? What is the range of the projectile R in terms of acceleration due to gravity g, velocity v_0, and angle θ?

An artillery officer has the following problem. From his current position, he must shoot over a hill of height H at a target on the other side, which has the same elevation as his gun. He knows from his accurate map both the bearing and the distance R to the target and also that the hill is halfway to the target. To shoot as accurately as possible, he wants the projectile to just barely pass above the hill.

What is the angle in terms of H and R? What is the initial speed v₀in terms of g, R, and H? What is the flight time t of the projectile?

A toy gun uses a spring with a force constant of 300 N/m to propel a 10.0-g steel ball. If the spring is compressed 7.00 cm and friction is negligible:

(a) How much force is needed to compress the spring?

(b) To what maximum height can the ball be shot?

(d) What is the gun’s maximum range on level ground?

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=(v₀cos α)t, y=(v₀sin 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?
