I've trouble figuring out 2 questions:

  1. A dart player throws a darts horizontally at a speed of 13.5 m/s. The dart hits the board 0.37 m below the height from which it was thrown. How far away is the player from the board?

  2. A major league baseball pitcher can throw a baseball in excess 44.5 m/s. If a ball is thrown horizontally at this speed, how much will it drop by the time it reaches the catcher who is 17.6 m away from the point of release?

Does anyone know the answers to these problems?

@Qmechanic: I think you put more effort into the question than the OP :) – Rafael Reiter Jan 26 at 0:02
Yes, we know how to answer these questions, but out homework policy is written so that we don't. If you are uncertain of a principle or concept at work here we will answer that kind of question. In fact we have already done the concepts at work here. – dmckee♦ Jan 26 at 1:04

This question is unlikely to help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet. For help making this question more broadly applicable, see the FAQ.
