1. An Olympic athlete throws a shot put with an initial velocity that makes an angle of 30.0 degrees with the horizontal. The shot put leaves the athlete's fully extended arm at a height of 1.8 m above the ground and lands a horizontal distance of 4.8 m away from the release point. Determine the maximum height (above the ground) reached by the shot put. 2. An airplane attempts to drop a bomb on a target. When the bomb is released, the plane is flying upward at an angle of 30 degrees above the horizontal at a speed of 200 m/s. At the point of release, the plane's altitude is 2.0 km. The bomb hits the target.
a) Determine how much time it takes for the bomb to hit the target after it is released.
b) Determine the magnitude and direction of the vertical component of the bomb's velocity at the point of release.
c) At the point of release, what angle below the horizontal does the pilot have to look in order to see the target?
d) Determine the magnitude and direction of the horizontal component of the bomb's velocity at the point when the bomb contacts the target.
