In a scene from an action movie, a stuntman jumps from the top of one building to the top of another building 4.0 m away. After a running start he leaps at a velocity of 5.0 m/s at an angle of 15 degrees with respect to the flat roof. Will he make it to the other roof, which is 2.5m shorter than the building he jumps from?

A person is standing on the roof of a tall building . She throws a ball vertically only from the top of the building in such a way that when the ball passes a window cleaner who is 2.0m from the top, it is falling at a speed of 7.0m/s . It takes another 2.9 s to reach the ground . How tall is the building?

An inflatable life raft is released from an air plane at 500 m altitude, in level flight, with an air speed of 20 m/s in the horizontal direction. How long before the raft strikes the water? How far from the release point does the raft strike the water?
A person looking out the window of a stationary train notices that raindrops are falling vertically down at a speed of 4.08 m/s relative to the ground. When the train moves at a constant velocity, the raindrops make an angle of 25 degrees when they move past the window, as the drawing shows. How fast is the train moving?
A young girl standing on a bridge throws a stone with an initial velocity of 12 m/s at a downward angle of 45° to the horizontal, in an attempt to hit a block of wood floating in the river below. If the stone is thrown from a height of 20 m and it just reaches the water when the block is 13 m from the bridge, does the stone hit the block?
A projectile is thrown from the top of a cliff with an initial speed of 25 m/s at an angle of 600 up from the horizontal. If the projectile lands 100 m from the base of the cliff how tall is the cliff?
A rugby player passes the ball 9.75 m across the field, where it is caught at the same height as it left his hand. At what angle was the ball thrown if its initial speed was 12.0 m/s, assuming that the smaller of the two possible angles was used? (Answer in Degrees) What other angle gives the same range? (Answer in Degrees) For the pass using the smaller of the two angles, how long is the ball in the air? (answer in Seconds)
A driver is initially traveling 21.1m/s to the right and then slams on the brakes to accelerate at a magnitude of 4.5m/s/s until she comes to a complete stop. If she started applying her brakes at a position of 263m from zero, then where is her final position from zero?
If a driver is initially going 21m/s to the left and then slams on the brakes to accelerate at a magnitude of 14.7m/s/s until she comes to a stop. How far did she travel/what was the distance she traveled the moment she started applying the brakes?
In a scene in an action movie, a stuntman jumps from the top of one building to the top of another building 4.00 m away. After a running start, he leaps at an angle of 15.0o with respect to the flat roof while traveling at a speed of 5.00 m/s. Will he make it to the other roof, which is 2.50 m shorter than the building he jumps from?
