A gray kangaroo can bound across level ground with each jump
carrying it 10 m from the takeoff point. Typically the kangaroo
leaves the ground at a 20° angle. If this is so:
a. What is its takeoff speed?
b. What is its maximum height above the ground?
A 35 g steel ball is held by a ceiling-mounted electromagnet 3.5 m above the floor. A compressed-air cannon sits on the floor, 4.0 m to one side of the point directly under the ball. When a button is pressed, the ball drops and, simultaneously, the cannon fires a 25 g plastic ball. The two balls collide 1.0 m above the floor. What was the launch speed of the plastic ball?
.Anita is running to the right at in FIGURE Q4.8. Balls 1 and 2 are thrown toward her by friends standing on the ground. According to Anita, both balls are approaching her at .Which ball was thrown at a faster speed? Or were they thrown with the same speed? Explain.

15. FIGURE Q4.15 shows a pendulum at one end point of its arc.
a. At this point, is positive, negative, or zero? Explain.
b. At this point, is positive, negative, or zero? Explain.
FIGURE Q4.15

A cannon on a train car fires a projectile to the right with speed , relative to the train, from a barrel elevated at angle . The cannon fires just as the train, which had been cruising to the right along a level track with speed, begins to accelerate with acceleration , which can be either positive (speeding up) or negative (slowing down). Find an expression for the angle at which the projectile should be fired so that it lands as far as possible from the cannon. You can ignore the small height of the cannon above the track.
