Suppose a chinook salmon needs to jump a waterfall that is 1.39 m high. (a) If the fish starts from a distance 1.18 m from the base of the ledge over which the waterfall flows, find the x- and y-components of the initial velocity the salmon would need to just reach the ledge at the top of its trajectory.

A Chinook (King) salmon (Genus Oncorynchus) can jump out of water with a speed of 5.55 m/s. If the salmon is in a stream with water speed equal to 1.65 m/s, how high in the air can the fish jump if it leaves the water traveling vertically upwards relative to the Earth?
An atom is constrained to move along the horizontal axis only. At time t = 0.7 s, the atom is at x = 0.05 m. At time t = 2.9 s, the atom is at x = 0.62 m. What is the atom's average velocity?

A regulation volleyball court measures L = 18.0 meters in length and d = 2.43 meters in height. A volleyball player hits the ball from a height of h = 1.50 m just over the backline, and the initial velocity of the ball creates an angle of q = 30° with the ground. At what initial speed must the ball be struck such that it barely clears the net?
From the edge of a high cliff overlooking a flat valley, you shoot a cannonball horizontally over the valley with an initial speed of 120 m/s. If the cliff is 400 m above the valley floor, how far does the cannonball travel in the horizontal direction before landing on the ground?
