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?

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 sniper atop a building 150m high fired a bullet parallel to the horizontal with a speed of 1800km/h. How long will it take the bullet to reach the ground?
Daredevil is attempting to jump his motorcycle over a line of buses parked end to end by driving up a 45.00º ramp leaning on the leftmost bus, revving at a speed of 31.06m/s. How long would the stunt last? How many buses can he clear if the top of the takeoff ramp is at the same height as the bus, 3.00m, and the buses are 7.81m long?
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 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?
To start an avalanche on a mountain, an artillery shell is fired from 1250 m from the base of the mountain at 300 m/s, 55.0°. What are its coordinates 9.0 seconds later? Where does it hit on the mountain? If you are unable to answer, draw a diagram showing why.
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? What other angle gives the same range? For the pass using the smaller of the two angles, how long is the ball in the air?
A daredevil is attempting to jump his motorcycle over a line of buses parked end to end by driving up a 32 degree ramp at a speed of 40m/s (144km/hr). How many buses can he clear if the top of the takeoff ramp is at the same height as the bus tops and the buses are each 20m long?
A wide receiver is running along the sideline straight toward the goal at a constant speed. When he is 27 m away from the goal line he catches the ball, but there is a cornerback 12 m behind him moving with a constant speed of vc = 9.0 m/s. What speed should the wide receiver have to make sure he reaches the goal line just as the cornerback reaches him?
A missile is launched at an angle of 60 degrees up from the horizontal. Between 2 and 3 seconds after launch, it is seen to cover 30 m in the horizontal direction. With what speed (to 2 significant figures) was the rocket launched?
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?
Eddie Manalak is a Filipino stuntman, he wishes to cross the 520m distance between two tall buildings by being shot from a cannon. He wishes to be launched at 60° to the horizontal so that he can spend more time in waving to the crowd. With what speed must he be launched? ANS. 76.7 m/s
