Ski jumping in Vancouver The 2010 Olympic ski jumping competition was held at Whistler Mountain near Vancouver. During a jump, a skier starts near the top of the in-run, the part down which the skier glides at increasing speed before the jump. The Whistler in-run is 116 m long and for the first part is tilted down at about

a. 37 m/s
b. 31 m/s
c. 27 m/s
d. 24 m/s
e. 21 m/s

Rick grows up to be an Earth-bound robotics technician while Mick becomes an intergalactic astronaut. Mick leaves the Earth on his first space mission in the year 2200 and travels, according to his clock, for 10 years at a speed of 0.75c. Unfortunately, at this point in his journey, the structure of his ship undergoes mechanical breakdown and the ship explodes. How old is Rick when his brother dies?arrow_forward
