A daring swimmer dives off a cliff with a running horizontal leap, as shown in the figure. There is 9.00 m drop to the surface of the water, and directly below the cliff there is a rocky ledge with width of 1.75m. Draw a pictorial representation first (Tactics Box 1.5). Refer to the Problem Solving Strategies (General Pg21 and 2.1, 4.1) and Models 2.1, 2.2, and 4.1 for best Problem Solving Strategies. A. How long does it take for the swimmer to hit the water? 9.00 m B. What is the swimmer's minimum speed as she leaves the cliff so that she will miss the ledge 1.75 m at the bottom? Ledge C. What is the swimmer's velocity just before they enter the water? Express the velocity in both unit vector notation and magnitude/angle notation.

For two decades, teams sought a connection between the Flint Ridge cave system and Mammoth cave in Kentucky. When the connection was finally discovered, the combined system was declared the world’s largest cave (more than 200 km long). The team that found the connection had to crawl, climb and squirm through countless passages, traveling a net 2.6 km westward, 3.9 km southward, and 25 km upward. What was their displacement from start to finish?

A glider is initially moving at a constant height of 3.76 m. It is suddenly subject to a wind such that its velocity at a later time t can be described by the equation v(t) = 16.18 − 7.78(1 + t) + 0.70t3, where v and its components are in meters per second, t is in seconds, and the z axis is perpendicular to the level ground. (a) What was the initial velocity of the glider? (Express your answer in vector form.) vi = m/s(b) Write an expression for the acceleration of the glider in component form when t = 2.14 s. (Express your answer in vector form.) a(t = 2.14 s) = m/s2
