Problem 1: A baseball is thrown with 26.3 m/s at an angle of 30.6 degree above the horizontal. It is caught at the same height by another player some distance away.
What is the speed of the ball, just before it is caught? (Ignore air drag.)
Problem 2: A roach that runs for its life because you try to hit it with your physics book runs off the horizontal tabletop with a speed of 0.685 m/s. It strikes the floor a horizontal distance 0.325 m away from the edge of the table. Ignore air resistance.
What will be the vertical component of the roach's velocity just before it hits the floor?
