Suppose a Chinook salmon needs to jump a waterfall that is 1.45 m high. If the fish starts from a distance 1.12 m from the base of the ledge over which the waterfall flows, find the x- and y-components of the initial velocity the salmon would need to just reach the ledge at the top of its trajectory. Vox = m/s Voy = m/s Can the fish make this jump? (Remember that a Chinook salmon can jump out of the water with a speed of 6.26 m/s.) O Yes O No

A soccer ball is kicked from the ground with an initial speed of 18.9 m/s at an upward angle of 48.1. A player 48.4 m away in the direction of the kick starts running to meet the ball at that instant. What must be his average speed if he is to meet the ball just before it hits the ground? Neglect air resistance.Use g-9.81 m/s². Number 4.32 Unit m/s

You throw an object directly up into the air and then catch it when it comes back down. It hits your hand at a speed of 7 m/s on the way down. What was the initial velocity of the ball? Use a kinematic approach.
A ball is thrown with a horizontal velocity of v0 from the top of an 80 m tall building. The time it takes the ball to reach the ground is: Assume that the acceleration due to gravity is 10.0 m/s^2 and ignore any effects of air resistance. Group of answer choices Less than the 4s The same as the 4s Depends on the horizontal velocity Greater than the 4s
Suppose a Chinook salmon needs to jump a waterfall that is 1.35 m high. If the fish starts from a distance 1.16 m from the base of the ledge over which the waterfall flows, find the x- and y-components of the initial velocity the salmon would need to just reach the ledge at the top of its trajectory. v0x = m/s v0y = m/s
A ball is thrown upward at time t=0 from the ground with an initial velocity of 8 m/s (~ 18 mph). Assume that g = 10 m/s2. What is the greatest height (in meters) reached by the ball?
A thoughtful person on a bridge reflecting on his awesome Physics class sees a small stone by his feet. Hmm, he thought to himself. Using his foot he slowly nudged the stone off the surface of the bridge and using his cell phone he timed how long it took to hit the water, about 1.75 s. How high (m) is the bridge above the water? (neglect air resistance)
Standing on the roof of a 95-m tall building, a girl holds her hand past the edge and throws a ball straight up at 8 m/s. The ball rises, then falls and strikes the ground. Considering "up" to be the positive direction, find the ball's velocity v when it is 40 m above the ground. Remember to include a "-" sign if the velocity is negative. V = m/s
In 1948 United States Air Force pilot Gail halvorsen became known as the Berlin Candy Bomber when he began dropping candy bars and Bubblegum to the children of Berlin. If he was flying with a forward velocity of 100 meters per second at a low altitude of 1000 m how far from the Berlin Wall would he have to release the candy so that it would land in the city?
A long jumper leaves the ground at an angle of 29 degrees and lands 8.2 meters away. With what speed did he jump? Please answer in m/s
A rocket is launched from the ground with the upward velocity of 140 m/s. There is no engine working on the rocket while is is flying up. What is the maximum height the rocket reaches?
A stunt man drives a car at speed v = 20 m/s off a H=30 m high cliff. The road leading to the cliff is inclined upward at an angle theta = 10 degrees.
