The triple jump is a track-and-field event in which an athlete gets a running start and tries to leap as far as he can with a hop, step, and jump. Shown in the figure is the initial hop of the athlete. Assuming that he approaches the takeoff line from the left with a horizontal velocity of 10 m/s, remains in contact with the ground for 0.15 s, and takes off at a 50° angle with a velocity of 12 m/s, determine the vertical component of the average impulsive force exerted by the ground on his foot. Give your answer in terms of the weight W of the athlete. 12 vs 10 s Takt off line

A ball is thrown vertically upward from the top of a 30-m high building with an initial velocity of 98 m/s. At the same instant, another ball is thrown upward from the top of another 25-m high building with an initial velocity of 196 m/s. Determine the height from the ground and the time at which they pass. Illustrate the problem.
A ball is suspended from a light 1.4 m string as shown. The string makes an angle of 28 degrees with the vertical. The ball is then kicked up and to the right such that the string remains taut the entire time the ball swings upwards. This kick gives the ball an initial velocity of 1.1 m/s. What will be the speed, in meters per second, of the ball when it reaches its lowest point (θ = 0)? What will be the maximum angle, in degrees, the string will make with the vertical?

The track for this racing event was designed so that riders jump off the slope at 20°. During a race it was observed that the rider shown in Figure below remained in the air from pt. A to Pt. B for 5 s. The speed at which he was traveling off the ramp was 60 m/s. Determine the horizontal distance he travels before striking the ground, and the maximum height he attains. Neglect the size of the bike and rider.
. In an elevator shaft, a ball is thrown vertically upward with an initial velocity of 18 m/s from a height of 12 m above ground. At the same instant, an open-platform elevator passes the 5-m level, moving upward with a constant velocity of 2 m/s. Determine (a) when and where the ball hits the elevator, (b) the relative velocity of the ball with respect to the elevator when the ball hits the elevator.
A boat is moving to the right with a constant deceleration of 0.3 m/s2 when a boy standing on the deck D throws a ball with an initial velocity relative to the deck which is vertical.
