For this problem think about a long jumper who takes off and lands from different heights. This is due to the center of gravity being higher when they leave the ground then when they contact the sand if the jumper has a horizontal distance traveled of 7.5 m in an initial horizontal velocity of 6.1 m/s and a takeoff angle of 30°. How far did the jumper fall vertically from takeoff to landing?    this is for biomechanics
