$A$ hiker stands on the edge of a cliff $490 \ m$ above the ground and throws a stone horizontally with an initial speed of $15 \ m \ s^{-1}$. The speed with which it hits the ground is (in $m \ s^{-1}$)

$A$ ball is thrown from a rooftop at an angle of $45^\circ$ above the horizontal. It hits the ground a few seconds later. At what point during its motion does the ball have $(a)$ greatest speed, $(b)$ smallest speed, and $(c)$ greatest acceleration? Explain.

Projectiles $A$ and $B$ are thrown at angles of $45^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$ with the vertical,respectively,from the top of a $400 \ m$ high tower. If their ranges and times of flight are the same,the ratio of their speeds of projection $v_A : v_B$ is:

The figure shows a projectile thrown with a speed $u = 20 \, m/s$ at an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal from the top of a building $40 \, m$ high. The horizontal range of the projectile is ........... $m$.

$A$ bowling machine placed at a height $h$ above the earth's surface releases different balls with different angles but with the same velocity $10 \sqrt{3} \text{ m s}^{-1}$. All these balls' landing velocities make angles of $30^{\circ}$ or more with the horizontal. Find the height $h$ (in meters) (acceleration due to gravity $g = 10 \text{ m s}^{-2}$).

$A$ helicopter flying horizontally with a speed of $360 \ km/h$ at an altitude of $2 \ km$,drops an object at an instant. The object hits the ground at a point $O$,$20 \ s$ after it is dropped. The displacement of $O$ from the position of the helicopter where the object was released is: (use acceleration due to gravity $g = 10 \ m/s^2$ and neglect air resistance)
