A criminal is escaping across a rooftop and runs off the roof horizontally at a speed of 5 m/s, hoping to land on the roof of an adjacent building. Air resistance is negligible. The horizontal distance between the two buildings is D, and the roof of the adjacent building is 3.0 m below the jumping-off point. Find the maximum value for D

a plane is flying horizontally with speed 283 m/s at a height of 2480 m above the ground, when a package is dropped from the plane. the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2. what is the horizontal distance from the release point to the impact point?
A cannon ball is fired with an initial speed of 123 m/s at angle of 60 degrees from the horizontal. Express the initial velocity as a linear combination of its unit vector components. ( m/s) + ( m/s) At the maximum height, the speed of the cannon ball is v = m/s and the magnitude of its acceleration is a = m/s2. The time needed to reach maximum height is t = s. The maximum height reached by the cannon ball is H = m.
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?
