To find: The horizontal distance travelled by a track and field long jumper who jumps at given angle with given speed.
The horizontal distance travelled by a track and field long jumper is
Given data: The track and field long jumper jumps at angle
Method/Formula used:
A motion of an object at some angle say
Calculations:
The track and field long jumper jumps at angle
The jumper travels horizontal distance say x with constant velocity
The time of flight T of an object (time the object remains in air) when projected at an angle
Here,
Substitute
The jumper jumps at angle
Substitute
Therefore, the horizontal distance travelled by a track and field long jumper is
