Without the effects air resistance, the pilot would have a very different experience. Repeat part a, but now assume the pilot was in freefall for the entire 20,000 ft (6000 m).
Spud Webb, height 5'7", was one of the shortest basketball players to play in the NBA. But he had an impressive vertical leap; he was reportedly able to jump 110 cm off the ground. Hint: suggest using the Prep and Solve steps.
To jump this high, with what speed would he leave the ground?
What was his hang time (how long was he off the ground)?
In the world athletic championships held in Tokyo, Japan in 1991, Mike Powell set the world record for the men's LONG JUMP at 8.95 m. If Mike's hang time was 0.92 s, a) What was the initial horizontal component of his velocity when he jumped?(Round your to the nearest tenth) b) What is the vertical component of his jump? (Round your to the nearest tenth). c) Use your answers for parts a) and b) to determine Mike's initial velocity and direction of his jump. If Mike weighed 170 lbs, d) what is his mass in kg? e) Using the vertical component of speed, determine the KE in the vertical direction. f) Use the law of conservation of energy to determine the maximum vertical height of the jump. g) What is the minimum amount of work (in Joules) that Mike must exert in pushing off the ground?
