Initial vertical velocity of the shot,
Initial launch height,
Final position of the shot,
===========
Consider the vertical motion of the shot
Use formula

Initially, the shot is going up and g is acting downwards, so put a negative sign for g.

A very strong, but inept, shot putter puts the shot straight up vertically with an initial...
A shot-putter throws the shot with an initial speed of 11.2 m/s from a height of 5.00 ft above the ground. What is the range of the shot if the launch angle is (a) 18.0 ∘ , (b) 35.0 ∘ , (c) 43.0 ∘ ?
A shot-putter throws the shot with an initial speed of 11.2 m/s from a height of 5.00 ft above the ground. What is the range of the shot if the launch angle is (a) 18.0 ❝ , (b) 32.0 ❝ , (c) 38.0 ❝ ?
A shot-putter throws the shot with an initial speed of 11.2 m/s from a height of 5.00 ft above the ground. What is the range of the shot if the launch angle is (a) 23.0 ∘ , (b) 29.0 ∘ , (c) 41.0 ∘ ?
5) A shot-putter projects the shot at 42.00⁰ to the horizontal from a height of 2.100 m. It lands 17.00 m away horizontally. Next, he gives it the same initial speed but changes the angle to 40.00⁰. What effect does this have on the horizontal range? Watch significant figures! It matters in this one.
A 0.007 kg bullet shot straight up in the air with an initial speed of 200 m/s reaches a vertical height of 600 m. What is the average force of air resistance acting on the bullet?
