Question
1. A skydiver is falling straight down, along the negative y direction.
o During the initial part of the fall, her speed increases from 16 to 28 m/s in 1.5 s.
o Later, her parachute opens, and her speed decreases from 48 to 26 m/s in 11 s.
o In both instances, determine the magnitude and direction of her average acceleration.
2. A projectile is launched from and returns to ground level. Air resistance is absent. The
horizontal range of the projectile is measured to be R = 175 m, and the horizontal component
of the launch velocity is Vox = 25 m/s. Find the vertical component Voy of the launch velocity.
3. When chasing a hare along a flat stretch of ground, a greyhound leaps into the air at a
speed of 10.0 m/s, at an angle of 31.0 degrees above the horizontal.
o What is the range of his leap and
o For how much time is he in the air?
