Which of the following is a vector a person’s height, the altitude on Mt. Everest, the velocity of a fly, the age of Earth, the boiling point of water, the cost of a book, Earth’s population, or the acceleration of gravity?
An object is shot horizontally off a cliff which is 19.95 meters high. The forward speed when it is fired is 6.321. How far forward from the firing point does it land? (Your answer should be in meters, but don't write the unit; just the nuumber.) Use the acceleration due to gravity near the earth's surface, g=10m/s^2 (Remember that the horizontal and vetical motion can be treated seperately, so you can first find the time of flight, then figure out how far foward it moves in that time)
An athlete performing a long jump leaves the ground at a 31.8 ∘∘ angle and lands 7.65 mm away. What was the takeoff speed? Express your answer using three significant figures and include the appropriate units. If this speed were increased by just 4.0%, how much longer would the jump be? Express your answer using two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
