joe wants to test how fast can superman save him if he jumps of a cliff 180 m high. he recorded that after 5 seconds, superman arrives at the cliff and dives to save joe. superman leaves the cliff with an initial velocity to give him a push to catch joe, and later on act on a free fall as joe is. compute the initial velocity of superman so he can catc joe before they hit the ground.
Consider a car moving in the positive direction with an initial velocity of 33 m/s slows down at a constant rate of -3.5 m/s2.
