A cliff of height 910 m in a park .Assume a jumper runs off the cliff with a speed of 5 m/sec at an angle of 100 and enjoys a free fall until he is 150 m above the valley floor, at which time she opens her parachute. How long is the jumper in free fall? (Ignore air resistance) It is important to be as far away from the cliff as possible before opening the chute. How far away from the cliff is the jumper when she opens her chute?

Olympus Mons on Mars is the largest volcano in the solar system, at a height of 25 km and with a radius of 312 km. If you are standing on the summit, with what Initial velocity would you have to fire a projectile from a cannon horizontally to clear the volcano and land on the surface of Mars? Note that Mars has an acceleration of gravity of 3.7m/s2 .
From the edge of a high cliff overlooking a flat valley, you shoot a cannonball horizontally over the valley with an initial speed of 120 m/s. If the cliff is 400 m above the valley floor, how far does the cannonball travel in the horizontal direction before landing on the ground?
A regulation volleyball court measures L = 18.0 meters in length and d = 2.43 meters in height. A volleyball player hits the ball from a height of h = 1.50 m just over the backline, and the initial velocity of the ball creates an angle of q = 30° with the ground. At what initial speed must the ball be struck such that it barely clears the net?
A Chinook (King) salmon (Genus Oncorynchus) can jump out of water with a speed of 5.55 m/s. (See Problem 4.9, page 111 for an investigation of how the fish can leave the water at a higher speed that it can swim underwater.) If the salmon is in a stream with water speed equal to 1.65 m/s, how high in the air can the fish jump if it leaves the water traveling vertically upwards relative to the Earth?
A stone is thrown horizontally from the highest point of a 95 m building and lands 115 m from the base of the building. Ignore air resistance, and use a coordinate system whose origin is at the highest point of the building, with positive y upwards and positive x in the direction of the throw. How long is the stone in the air in seconds? What must have been the initial horizontal component of the velocity, in meters per second? What is the vertical component of the velocity just before the stone hits the ground, in meters per second? What is the magnitude of the velocity of the stone just before it hits the ground, in meters per second?
An inflatable life raft is released from an air plane at 500 m altitude, in level flight, with an air speed of 20 m/s in the horizontal direction. How long before the raft strikes the water? How far from the release point does the raft strike the water?
A helicopter is delivering a care package to a remote location, travelling horizontally at 80 m/s and is 150m above the ground when the package is dropped. How long will it take for the package to hit the ground? How far does the package travel horizontally?
An airplane flying horizontally with a speed of 570 km/h at a height of 890 m drops a crate of supplies . If the parachute fails to open, how far (in m) in front of the release point does the crate hit the ground?
A Chinook (King) salmon (Genus Oncorynchus) can jump out of water with a speed of 5.55 m/s. If the salmon is in a stream with water speed equal to 1.65 m/s, how high in the air can the fish jump if it leaves the water traveling vertically upwards relative to the Earth?
A long jumper leaves the ground at 45 ∘ above the horizontal and lands 9.1 m away. What is her "takeoff" speed v0?Now she is out on a hike and comes to the left bank of a river. There is no bridge and the right bank is 10.0 m away horizontally and 2.5 m, vertically below. If she long jumps from the edge of the left bank at 45 ∘ with the speed calculated in A, how long, or short, of the opposite bank will she land?
A celebrated Mark Twain story has motivated contestants in the Calaveras County Jumping Frog Jubilee, where frog jumps as long as 2.20 m have been recorded. If a frog jumps 2.20 m and the launch angle is 50.0°, find the frog's launch speed and the time the frog spends in the air. Ignore air resistance.(a)the frog's launch speed (in m/s) m/s(b)the time the frog spends in the air (in s) s
From the top of a cliff, a person throws a stone straight downward. The initial speed of the stone just after leaving the person's hand is 8.1 m/s After 0.46 s, how far beneath the top of the cliff is the stone? (Give just the distance fallen, that is, a magnitude.) m
