Number 20

Transcribed Image Text:(b) Assuming the x component is known to be positive,
specify the vector which, if you add it to the original one,
would give a resultant vector that is 80.0 units long and
points entirely in the
- x direction.

17. (I) A tiger leaps horizontally from a 7.5-m-high rock with
a speed of 3.0 m/s. How far from the base of the rock will
she land?
18. (I) A diver running 2.5 m/s dives out horizontally from the
edge of a vertical cliff and 3.0s later reaches the water
below. How high was the cliff and how far from its base did
the diver hit the water?
19. (II) Estimate by what factor a person can jump farther on
the Moon as compared to the Earth if the takeoff speed
and angle are the same. The acceleration due to gravity on
the Moon is one-sixth what it is on Earth.
20. (II) A ball is thrown horizontally from the roof of a build-
ing 7.5 m tall and lands 9.5 m from the base. What was the
ball's initial speed?
21. (II) A ball thrown horizontally at 12.2 m/s from the roof of
a building lands 21.0 m from the base of the building. How
high is the building?
