Question 9. Michael Jordan, formerly of the Chicago Bulls basketball team, has some fanatic fans. They claim that he is able to jump and remain in the air for two full seconds from launch to landing. Evaluate this claim by calculating the maximum height that such a jump would attain. For comparison, Jordan's maximum jump height has been estimated at about one meter. Ans: 4.9 m

A pumpkin is shot straight up with an initial speed of 5.9 m/s. What is the maximum height it can reach, in meters? Use g = 10 m/s2.Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.
A diver jumps off a cliff of height h at an angle θ = 260 (see figure). He reaches a maximum height of h subscript m a x end subscript= 20 m above the top of the cliff before falling to the water below. He hits the water x=295 m from the base of the cliff. Determine the height of the cliff, h. Take g=10m/s2 . Round your answer to one decimal place.

You attach a meter stick to an oak tree, such that the top of the meter stick is 2.072 meters above the ground. Later, an acorn falls from somewhere higher up in the tree. If the acorn takes 0.151 seconds to pass the length of the meter stick, how high ℎ0above the ground was the acorn before it fell, assuming that the acorn did not run into any branches or leaves on the way down?
You visit the Grand Canyon and drop a rock off the edge of a cliff. The distance ther ock will fall is 16 feet the first second, 48 feet the next second, 80 feet the third second, and so on in an arithmetic sequence. What is the total distance the object will fall in 6 seconds?
An astronaut on the moon throws a baseball upward. The astronaut is 6 ft, 6 in. tall, and the initial velocity of the ball is 50 ft per sec. The height s of the ball in feet is given by the equation s = - 2.7t + 50t + 6.5, where t is the number of seconds after the ball was thrown. Complete parts a and b. a. After how many seconds is the ball 16 ft above the moon's surface? After seconds the ball will be 16 ft above the moon's surface. (Round to the nearest hundredth as needed. Use a comma to separate answers as needed.)
