6. In the skateboarder scenario below, a Determine the skater's vertical displacement during the jump? b) To the nearest hundredth of a second, determine how long was the skateboarder in the air?
A skateboarder rolls horizontally off the top of a staircase at a speed of
m 14.5 m/s and lands at bottom of the stairs. The staircase has a horizontal length of 8.00 m. We can ignore air resistance.
Calculate the maximum distance a human could long jump assuming we combined the faster human with the human who jumped the highest. The fastest human ran 100 m in 9.12 s. The fastest a person jumped vertically was 5.33 m/s.
A) Draw the sketch of this problem.
B) State the theory that describes the motion.
C) Write the Kinematics projectile equations with the correct numbers.
A boat heads straight across a river. The river flows north at a speed of 3 m/s. If the river current were greater, then the time required for the boat to reach the opposite shore would not change.
