- Question 2: #63 In 1780, in what is now referred to as "Brady's Leap," Captain Sam Brady of the U.S. Continental Army escaped certain death from his enemies by running horizontally off the edge of the cliff above Ohio's Cuyahoga River, which is con-fined at that spot to a gorge. He landed safely on the far side of the river. It was reported that he leapt 22 ft across while falling 20 ft. Tall tale, or possible?arrow_forwardThe positionr→of a particle moving in an xy plane is given byr→=(5.00t3−6.00t)i^+(2.00−2.00t4)j^withr→in meters and t in seconds. In unit-vector notation, calculate(a)r→, (b)v→, and (c)a→for t = 2.00 s. (d) What is the angle between the positive direction of the x axis and a line tangent to the particle's path at t = 2.00 s?
