An Olympic long jumper is capable of jumping 8.0 m.Assuming his horizontal speed is 9.1m/s as he leaves the ground, how long is he in the air and how high does he go? Assume that he lands standing upright—that is, the same way he left the ground.
You throw a snowball horizontally from the roof of a building that is 83.0 m above flat ground. The initial speed of the snowball is 17.0 m/s. Assume free fall with up as positive, and use g = 9.80 m/s2. Ignore air resistance.
(a) How long does the projectile remain in the air?(b) At what horizontal distance from the firing point does it strike the ground?(c) What is the vertical component of its velocity as it strikes the ground?(d) What is the direction of the ball's velocity (from the x-axis) just before it hits the ground? °
A rock is thrown off a vertical cliff at an angle of 65 degrees above horizontal. The cliff is 67.2 m high and the ground extends horizontally from the base. The initial speed of the rock is 24.4 m/s. Neglect air resistance.
a) How high above the ground, in meters, is the rock 2.03 s before it hits the ground?
