A daring swimmer dives off a cliff with a running horizontal leap, as shown in the figure. There is 9.00 m drop to the surface of the water, and directly below the cliff there is a rocky ledge with width of 1.75m. Draw a pictorial representation first (Tactics Box 1.5). Refer to the Problem Solving Strategies (General Pg21 and 2.1, 4.1) and Models 2.1, 2.2, and 4.1 for best Problem Solving Strategies. A. How long does it take for the swimmer to hit the water? 9.00 m B. What is the swimmer's minimum speed as she leaves the cliff so that she will miss the ledge 1.75 m at the bottom? Ledge C. What is the swimmer's velocity just before they enter the water? Express the velocity in both unit vector notation and magnitude/angle notation.

ANSWER QUICK! Ive read the honor code and it says that their a question can have up to 3 subparts (i.e. part a, b, and c). So please answer all questions. A skier leaves the ramp of a ski jump with a velocity of 11.4m/s, 16.2 degrees above the horizontal. The slope below is inclined downwards at 53.3 degrees, and air resistance is negligible. Calculate the distance from the ramp to where the jumper lands (in meters). Calculate the velocity x component just before the landing (in m/s). Calculate the velocity y component just before the landing (in m/s).
Liliana can paddle her kayak 7 miles per hour in still water. It takes her as long to paddle 12 miles upstream as it takes her to travel 16 miles downstream. Determine the speed of the river's current. Enter an equation with the following properties: 1. It uses the variable c to represent the speed of the river's current in miles per hour. 2. It uses the information as it is given above. 3. It can be solved to answer the question. Equation: How fast is the river's current? miles per hour

Please answer the following question(s): 1. The speed of a boat in still water is vá. A river flows with a speed of v₁. The boat travels distance of 19 miles downstream in a river in 1 hour. However, the return journey takes 2 hours. Calculate the vand v₁. Hint: Velocity=displacement/time. Displacement can be positive of neagtive depending on the direction. You will first need to set up the equations by taking into account the resultant velocity of the boat in flowing water. Consider the direction the river is flowing to be positive. Set up two equations, one for the downstream journey and one for the upstream journey, in terms of "v" and "v": Do v" and "v, add or substract downstream to give the resultant downstream velocity? Do v" and "v, add or substract upstream togive the resultant upstream velocity? Use the upstream direction as negative. The resultant upstream velocity should be negative. vb vb Downstream positive Vr Upstream negative Vr
A very bored 318 kg bear decides to jump across a stream. The stream is 6 m wide and the east bank of the stream is 1m higher than the west bank (where the bear starts). The bear can jump with an initial velocity (4m/s 4m/s, and decides to start from 3 in the air, halfway up a sturdy tree. Part 1 If the origin is at the bear's foot (up in the tree), write an equation describing the coordinate of the bear while it is in the air. Use the following table as a reference. Note that it may not be necessary to use every variable.

Bruce begins 7 kilometers to the north of town and rides his bike along a straight trail which leads to a park 3km west of town. It takes him 20 minutes to cover this distance. Write a vector in component form that describes his ride while also finding the magnitude and direction of this vector. Also, find the component of Bruce's motion which is in the direction of SW using a unit vector that uses both forms of the dot product (algebraic and geometric), then write parametric equations expressing his motion with the town being represented by the origin and t=0 being his starting point. Using these equations, what is his position after 5 minutes? Then eliminate the parameter to get a rectangular equation for this linear path and verify algabraically amd graphically that this equation represents the line.
