Chapter 3, Problem 76GP
An Olympic long jumper is capable of jumping 8.0 m. Assuming his horizontal speed is 9.1 m/s as he leaves the ground, how long is he in the air and how high does he go? Assume that he lands standing upright—that is, the same way he left the ground.

Suppose I throw a rock horizontally with an initial speed of 30 m/s. Suppose my release point is 2 m above
the ground.
(a) How long does it take for the rock to hit the ground?
(b) How far in the horizontal direction does the rock travel?
(c) What is the speed of the rock right before it hits the ground?
In projectile motion lab, you fired a projectile out of your launcher vertically up at 5.0
m/s. Assume the projectile leaves the launcher's barrel at 1.15 m above the floor and
has a tiny horizontal velocity so it could clear the launcher on its way down and hit
the floor, how long will it take to strike the floor?
Ignore air drag.
Hint: You can set the final position to be zero.
A cliff of height 910 m in a park .Assume a jumper runs off the cliff with a speed of 5 m/sec at an angle of 100 and enjoys a free fall until he is 150 m above the valley floor, at which time she opens her parachute.
How long is the jumper in free fall? (Ignore air resistance)
It is important to be as far away from the cliff as possible before opening the chute. How far away from the cliff is the jumper when she opens her chute?
