5. Projectile Motion

Water pours from a spout at the end of a gutter with a speed of 3.5 m/s, where the spout is angled 45° downwards. The magnitude of the water's velocity when it hits the ground is 14 m/s. How high is the spout from the ground?

A person in the passenger basket of a hot-air balloon throws a ball horizontally outward from the basket with speed 12.0 m/s (Fig. 3–64). What initial velocity (magnitude and direction) does the ball have relative to a person standing on the ground 

(b) if the hot-air balloon is descending at 3.0 m/s relative to the ground?

(II) Piles of snow on slippery roofs can become dangerous projectiles as they melt. Consider a chunk of snow at the ridge of a roof with a slope of 24°.

(c) If the edge of the roof is 10.0 m above ground, how far out does the snow hit the ground?

(d) Estimate the speed of the snow when it hits the ground.
