Broadjump, one squats and then pushes off with the legs to see how far one can jump. Suppose the extension of the legs from the crouch position is 0.55 m and the acceleration achieved during the time the jumper is extending their legs is 1.2 time the acceleration due to gravity, g. How far can they jump in meters? Assume the person leaves at an angle of 45° and on level ground.

A long jumper can jump a distance of 8.0 m when he takes off at an angle of 45° with respect to the horizontal. Assuming he can jump with the same initial speed at all angles, how much distance does he lose by taking off at 30°?
In a cricket match, a batsman hits a ball at an angle of 36o from the horizontal with an initial speed of 15.5 m/s. Assuming that the ball moves in a vertical plane, find (a) the time at which the ball reaches the highest point of its trajectory, (b) its maximum height, (c) its time of flight and range, and (d) its velocity when it strikes the ground
A stunt rider accelerates from rest on an inclined ramp on top of a cliff; his acceleration is 125 m/s^2, and the length of the ramp is 10m, inclined 30° with the horizontal. The height of the cliff is 30m. If, right after “leaving” the ramp, he maintains the angle with the horizontal, how far from the base of the cliff will he plunge into the water (of course, there is a water below).
A rifle, at a height H above the ground, fires a bullet parallel to the ground. Atthe same instant and at the same height, a second bullet is dropped from rest. In the absence of air resistance, which bullet, if either, strikes the ground first?
Initially, a particle is moving at 5.40 m/s at an angle of 37.2 above the horizontal. Two seconds later, its velocity is 6.10 m/s at an angle of 55.0 below the horizontal. What was the particle's average acceleration during these 2.00 seconds in the x-direction and the y-direction
In the blizzard of ’88, a rancher was forced to drop hay bales from an airplane to feed her cattle. The plane flew horizontally at 160 km/hr and dropped the bales from a height of 80 m above the flat range, (a) She wanted the bales of hay to land 30 m behind the cattle so as to not hit them. Where should she push the bales out of the airplane? (b) To not hit the cattle, what is the largest time error she could make while pushing the bales out of the airplane? Ignore air resistance.
Give an example in which velocity is zero yet acceleration is not.
A sky diver is jumping off a plane, his velocity can be described as v = 20(1-e-3t). v=0 and y=0 at t=0. Find his terminal velocity, meaning t = infinity?
A ball is kicked with an initial speed of 20.0 m/s at an angle 30.0° above the horizontal. How long it takes to reach the highest point?
One of the fastest recorded pitches in major-league baseball, thrown by Billy Wagner in 2003, was clocked at 101.0 mi/h (45.1 m/s). If a pitch were thrown horizontally with this velocity, how far would the ball fall vertically, in meters, by the time it reached home plate, 60.5 ft. (18.4 m) away? *Must include BIG six list for both x and y directions*
If you drop an object from a height of 1.1 m, it will hit the ground in 0.47 s. If you throw a baseball horizontally with an initial speed of 42 m/s from the same height, how long will it take the ball to hit the ground?
A particle travels, to the right, at a constant rate, of 6.5m/s. It, suddenly, is given a vertical acceleration of 3.2m/s22, for 3.9s. What is its direction of travel, after the acceleration, with respect to the horizontal? Answer between -180 and +180. What is the speed at this time? Answer in units of m/s.
