An athlete performing a long jump leaves the ground at a 27.8 ∘∘ angle and lands 7.63 mm away. What was the takeoff speed? answer using three significant figures and include the appropriate units. If this speed were increased by just 5.0%, how much longer would the jump be? answer using two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
A projectile is fired vertically from the ground with an initial velocity of 220 ft/sec. The initial acceleration is a=−32 ft/sec^2. 1. What is the velocity equation? Use t as the variable and v for the velocity. 2. What is the displacement equation? Use t as the variable and s as the displacement. 3. What was the velocity at t=5 seconds? 4. What time did the projectile reach its maximum height? (Hint: ?=0) Round to 1 decimal place. 5. What was the maximum height? Round to 1 decimal place.
An object is shot horizontally off a cliff which is 19.95 meters high. The forward speed when it is fired is 6.321. How far forward from the firing point does it land? (Your answer should be in meters, but don't write the unit; just the nuumber.) Use the acceleration due to gravity near the earth's surface, g=10m/s^2 (Remember that the horizontal and vetical motion can be treated seperately, so you can first find the time of flight, then figure out how far foward it moves in that time)
Gg to get to his office from home, greg walks 6 blocks north and then 3 blocks east. after work he meets some friends at a cafe; to get there he walks 3 blocks south and 6 blocks west. all blocks are 660 ft long. what is the straight line diatance from the cafe to his home?
Mr. Brown takes a walk in the park. He first travels 600. m NW and then turns and walks 800. m @ 20.0° WoS. What is his overall displacement of his walk? Use the triangle method to solve this. Should you use the component method, I will award zero points. I know the answer, I just don’t know how to get it. Answer: 771 m @ 25.1° SoW Thanks!!
Solve the problem. PROVIDE THE GIVEN, REQUIRED, EQUATION, SOLUTION, AND FINAL ANSWER Troy throws a ball horizontally from a height of 8.50 m with an initial speed of 37.0 m/s. a) What will be the magnitude of its velocity when it strikes the ground? b) At what direction (θ) will it strike the ground?
In 1780, in what is now referred to as "Brady's Leap," Captain Sam Brady of the U.S. Continental Army escaped certain death from his enemies by running over the edge of the cliff above Ohio's Cuyahoga River, which is confined at that spot to a gorge. He landed safely on the far side of the river. It was reported that he leapt 22 ft across while falling 20 ft. (Figure 1) A. Representing the horizontal distance jumped as L and the vertical drop as h , as shown in the figure, derive an expression for the minimum speed v he would need to make his leap if he ran straight off the cliff. Express your answer in terms of the given quantities and appropriate constants. B. Evaluate your expression for a 22 ft jump with a 20 ft drop to the other side. C. Is it reasonable that a person could make this leap? Use the fact that the world record for the 100 m dash is approximately 10 s to estimate the maximum speed such a runner would have. (Yes or no answer)
Find the following for path A in Figure 3.54: (a) the total distance traveled, and (b) the magnitude and direction of the displacement from start to finish.

An athlete whose event is the shot put releases the shot with the sameinitial velocity but at different angles. The figure shows the parabolic paths for shots released at angles of 35° and 65°. Solve the following based on the functions that model the parabolic paths. When the shot whose path is shown by the red graph is released at an angle of 65°, its height, g(x), in feet, can be modeled by g(x) = -0.04x2 + 2.1x + 6.1, where x is the shot’s horizontal distance, in feet, from its point of release. Use this model to solve the below parts (a) through (c) and verify your answers using the red graph. a. What is the maximum height, to the nearest tenth of a foot, of the shot and how far from its point of release does this occur? b. What is the shot’s maximum horizontal distance, to the nearest tenth of a foot, or the distance of the throw? c. From what height was the shot released?
