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 0.18 s, and takes off at a 52° angle with a velocity of 12.4 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.

Gayle runs at a speed of 4.10 m/s and dives on a sled, initially at rest on the top of a frictionless snow-covered hill. After she has descended a vertical distance of 5.00 m, her brother, who is initially at rest, hops on her back and together they continue down the hill. What is their speed at the bottom of the hill if the total vertical drop is 15.0 m? Gayle's mass is 46.5 kg, the sled has a mass of 5.25 kg and her brother has a mass of 30.0 kg.
A 2-oz pellet shot vertically from a spring-loaded pistol on the surface of the earth rises to a height of 300 ft. The same pellet shot from the same pistol on the surface of the moon rises to a height of 1900 ft. Determine the energy dissipated by aerodynamic drag when the pellet is shot on the surface of the earth. (The acceleration of gravity on the surface of the moon is 0.165 times that on the surface of the earth.)
In a football game, player A passes the ball directly to player B to hit a goal point E. If player B runs to a constant speed of 2.55 m/s, and the initial distance of player B from player A and point E is 13.10 m and 6.12m, respectively, find the initial velocity of the ball if player B will receive the ball at a height of 2.16m from point E.

To apply Newton’s second law and the theorem of conservation of energy to solve kinetic problems. A bungee jumper wants to jump off the edge of a bridge that spans a river below. The jumper has a mass m, and the surface of the bridge is a height h above the water. The bungee cord, which has lengthL when unstretched, will first straighten and then stretch as the jumper falls.Assume the following: The bungee cord behaves as an ideal spring once it begins to stretch and has spring constant k. The jumper does not actually jump but simply steps off the edge of the bridge and falls straight downward. The jumper's height is negligible compared to the length of the bungee cord. Thus, the jumper can be treated as a point particle. Use g for the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity. How far below the bridge, d, will the jumper eventually be hanging, once the jumper stops oscillating and comes finally to rest? Assume that the jumper does not touch the water. Express your answer in…
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.
