Angry Bird Physics

The document discusses projectile motion problems involving angry birds fired from catapults at different angles and velocities to hit targets at various distances. It asks the angle needed for a 200g bird with initial 12m/s velocity to hit a target 80m away, which bird would go further depending on its mass, how to determine which of two identical birds fired at different angles would go further, and calculates the time for a bird fired at 30 degrees to drop its egg to hit a pig 50m away.

Angry bird Physics

Assuming that the mass of the bird is 200g, at what angle would the catapult have to be pulled for the bird to hit that ground 80m from the starting point if the initial magnitude of the velocity was 12m/s

Assuming all birds started with the same initial velocity, would you expect the big brown bird or the little red to get further? Explain your answer.

Two identical birds are fired from catapults at the same position. The magnitude of the velocity is the same for each, however the first bird leaves at an angle which is much closer to the horizontal. Which would you expect to go further? Explain you answer using numerical examples.

A pig is 50m away from the catapult. A white bird is fired at an angle of 30o to the horizontal. At what time should he drop his egg if his initial speed is 12m/s?

How much later will the egg hit the ground?
