A farm truck moves due north with a constant velocity of 12.00 m/s on a limitless horizontal stretch of road. A boy riding on the back of the truck throws a can of soda upward and catches the projectile at the same location on the truck bed, but 19.0 m farther down the road.

(a) In the frame of reference of the truck, at what angle to the vertical does the boy throw the can?
°

(b) What is the initial speed of the can relative to the truck?
m/s

a straight line segment upward and then downwarda symmetric section of a parabola opening downward

(d) An observer on the ground watches the boy throw the can and catch it. In this observer's ground frame of reference, describe the shape of the can's path and determine the initial velocity of the can.

a symmetric section of a parabola opening downward
or
a straight line segment upward and then downward

An airplane is flying at a constant horizontal velocity of 184.5 m/s and drops a rocket. The rocket falls for 10.24 s without air resistance and under the influence of gravity only, and then fires its thrusters. From the moment the thrusters are one, the rocket has a net acceleration of 5.481 direscted 30.21 degrees above the horizontal. How far apart are the plane and the rocket when the rocket passes back through the cruising altitude of the plane?
