The Pacific white-sided dolphin (the figure below) can jump straight out of the water to incredible heights near 9.10 m (~30 feet). If a dolphin jumps out of the water at a launch angle of 45.0°, (a) what will be its maximum height, and (b) how far will the dolphin jump horizontally? Assume the dolphin leaves the water at the same speed when it jumps straight upward. Terry Hardie
