Question

1. A parkour enthusiast attempts a dangerous jump from building to building, which involves a drop of 4.05 m from rooftop to rooftop across a gap of 5.20 m. He can run at a maximum speed of 5.80 m/s.

a) Show that he can safely make the jump. (Assume that his initial velocity is horizontal. b) How fast is he moving just before he lands?

**Problem Statement**

1. A parkour enthusiast attempts a dangerous jump from building to building, which involves a drop of 4.05 m from rooftop to rooftop across a gap of 5.20 m. He can run at a maximum speed of 5.80 m/s.

(a) Show that he can safely make the jump. (Assume that his initial velocity is horizontal.)

(b) How fast is he moving just before he lands?

**Explanation**

- **Part (a):** To determine if the parkour enthusiast can safely make the jump, calculate the time it takes to fall 4.05 m. Use the formula for vertical motion under gravity:

\[
y = \frac{1}{2} g t^2
\]

Where \( y = 4.05 \, \text{m} \) and \( g = 9.81 \, \text{m/s}^2 \). Calculate \( t \) and then determine if the horizontal distance covered in this time at 5.80 m/s is at least 5.20 m.

- **Part (b):** Determine the speed just before landing by calculating both the horizontal and vertical velocity components before landing, and use the Pythagorean theorem to find the resultant velocity.

1. Falls resulting in hip fractures are a major cause of injury and even death to the elderly. Typically, the hip's speed at impact is about 2.0m/s. If this can be reduced to 1.3m/s or less, the hip will usually not fracture. One way to do this is by wearing elastic hip pads. (a) If a typical pad is 5.0 cm thick and compresses by 2.0 cm during the impact of a fall, what constant acceleration (in m/s²) does the hip undergo to reduce its speed from 2.0 m s to 1.3m/s (b) The acceleration you found in part (a) may seem rather large, but to assess its effects on the hip fully, calculate how long it lasts. Note: convert cm to m first.
A vertical upward kick is made with a ball. It goes via a speed gun set up 8 meters above the ground. As it rises, the speed gun registers 4.8 m/s. Don't worry about air resistance. 3. What is the ball's takeoff speed?
Butch and Sundance are standing on the edge of a cliff, arguing about whether ornot they should jump into the water below. Butch drops a small rock and is able to count to 7-Mississippi (i.e., 7 seconds) before it hits the water. Assume g=10 m/s2.Ignore air resistance.a) If they were to jump, how fast would they be going just before they hit the water?(in m/s)b) How high is the cliff in meters?c) Transform the velocity in a) to mi/hr and the height in b) to feet. Would you jump?
A ball is dropped from a build of height 72 meters. At the same time, another ball is thrown vertically up from the ground with a velocity vo. They meet each other in the middle. What is the speed vo of the ball thrown vertically up? Ignore air resistance. O A. Vo = 37.6 m/s O B. Do = 9.80 m/s O.00 = 26.6 m/s O D. Vo = 19.6 m/s D E. Vo = 18.8 m/s
3. A ball is thrown upwards at 13.0 m/s toward the ceiling located 6 m above the point where you release the ball. Air resistance is negligible. Objects falling near the earth's surface with no forces acting except gravity have a downwards acceleration of magnitude g. For this problem use g = 10 m/s². Write any equation you use in symbolic form before substituting in numbers. Make a labeled picture with symbols and all relevant values. Put a coordinate system on the a. picture by indicating the location of the origin and position direction. b. Find the time taken to reach the ceiling. Find the velocity just before the ball touches the ceiling. C.

2. A stone was accidentally dropped from the top of a building 56 m high. After 0.38 s, another stone was thrown vertically downward from the top of the same building. It was observed that the two stones hit the ground at the same time. What was the initial velocity given to the second stone? (Answer: 4 m/s, downward) Give the solution for this (given, solution)
