In the cartoon movie Pocahontas (https://openstaxcollege.org/l/21pocahontclip) , Pocahontas runs to the edge of a cliff and jumps off, showcasing the fun side of her personality. (a) If she is running at 3.0 m/s before jumping off the cliff and she hits the water at the bottom of the cliff at 20.0 m/s, how high is the cliff? Assume negligible air drag in this cartoon. (b) If she jumped off the same cliff from a standstill, how fast would she be falling right before she hit the water?

A bottle rocket is shot straight up in the air with a speed 30 m/s. if the air resistance is ignores, the bottle would go up to a height of approximately 46 m. however the rocket goes up to only 35 m before returning to the ground. What happened? Explain, giving only a qualitative response.
A skier leaves the top of a slope with an initial speed of 5.0 m/s. Her speed at the bottom of the slope is 13 m/s. What is the height of the slope?
The skateboarder starts down the left side of the ramp with an initial speed of 6.3 ft/s. If nonconservative forces, such as kinetic friction and air resistance, are negligible, what would be the height "h" of the highest point (in meters) reached by the skateboarder on the right side of the ramp?
A man on a motorcycle plans to make a jump as shown in the figure. If he leaves the ramp with a speed of 34.5 m/s and has a speed of 32.5 m/s at the top of his trajectory, determine his maximum height (h) (in m) above the end of the ramp. Ignore friction and air resistance. _____________ m
Interactive Solution 6.39 presents a model for solving this problem. A slingshot fires a pebble from the top of a building at a speed of 20.0 m/s. The building is 28.0 m tall. Ignoring air resistance, find the speed with which the pebble strikes the ground when the pebble is fired (a) horizontally, (b) vertically straight up, and (c) vertically straight down.
A cyclist coasts up a 10.7 degrees slope, traveling 24.0 m along the road to the top of the hill. If the cyclist's initial speed is 9.70 m/s, what is the final speed? Ignore friction and air resistance.
A stone is dropped from a bridge 50 m above a river. With what speed does the stone hit the water? Use g=9.8 m/s2.
A brave cliff diver jumps off the cliff of Tropea, Calabria (Italy), from a height if 16.35 m, from rest. What is the speed with which the diver hits the surface of the water?
A cyclist coasts up a 10.0 degree slope, traveling 20.0 m along the road to the top of the hill. If the cyclist’s ini- tial speed is 9.00 m/s, what is the final speed? Ignore friction and air resistance
The skateboarder in the drawing starts down the left side of the ramp with an initial speed of 5.4 m/s. Neglect nonconservative forces, such as friction and air resistance, and find the height h of the highest point reached by the skateboarder on the right side of the ramp. m
Why Does One Get Hurt On Jumping From A Great Height To The Floor?
The engine in an imaginary sports car can provide constant power to the wheels over a range of speeds from 0 to 120 kilometers per hour (km/h). At full power, the car can accelerate from zero to 50.0 km/h in time 1.50 s. At full power, how long would it take for the car to accelerate from 0-100km/h? Neglect friction and air resistance.
