A basketball player jumps straight up for a ball. To do this, he lowers his body 0.290 m and then accelerates through this distance by forcefully straightening his legs. This player leaves the floor with a vertical velocity sufficient to carry him 0.880 m above the floor. (a) Calculate his velocity (in m/s) when he leaves the floor. (Enter a number.) m/s (b) Calculate his acceleration (in m/s²) while he is straightening his legs. He goes from zero to the velocity found in part (a) in a distance of 0.290 m. (Enter a number.) m/s² (c) Calculate the force (in N) he exerts on the floor to do this, given that his mass is 114 kg. (Enter a number.) N

In the very Dutch sport of ducth-dude-on-a-pole, athletes run up to a long pole and then use it to vault across a canal. At the very top of his arc, a 70kg vaulter is moving at 3.5m/s and is 5.0m from the bottom end of the pole. What vertical force does the pole exert on the vaulter (in magnitude)?
Suppose a rocket is at an elevation of 100 km and has an initial velocity of 1.00 x 10^4 m/s directed vertically upward. If the rocket engines do not burn and no other force other than earth's gravity acts on the rocket, how far does it go?

A motorcycle daredevil plans to ride up a 2.00 m high 26.0° ramp, sail across a 10-m-wide pool filled with hungry crocodiles, and land at ground level on the other side. He has done this stunt many times and approaches it with confidence. Unfortunately, the motorcycle engine dies just as starts up the ramp. He is going 14.9 m/s at that instant, and the rolling friction of his rubber tires is not negligible. Assuming that the local acceleration due to gravity is -9.80 m/s2, calculate the landing point (in m) relative to the 10.0 m edge of the pool. (-1.0 m means he was 1.0 m short and in the pool, +1.0 m means he landed 1.0 m past the edge). The coefficient of rolling friction for rubber on ramp is 0.02.
Suppose that you loft the ball with an initial speed of v = 16.1 m/s, at an angle of θ = 51.8° above the horizontal. At this instant your opponent is d = 10.7 m away from the ball. He begins moving away from you 0.300 s later, hoping to reach the ball and hit it back at the moment that it is h = 2.02 m above its launch point. With what minimum average speed must he move? (Ignore the fact that he can stretch, so that his racket can reach the ball before he does.)
