A basketball player is running at 4.70 m/s directly toward the basket when he jumps into the air to dunk the ball. He maintains his horizontal velocity. (For each answer, enter a number.) (a) What vertical velocity (in m/s) does he need to rise 0.850 meters above the floor?  m/s (b) How far (in m) from the basket (measured in the horizontal direction) must he start his jump to reach his maximum height at the same time as he reaches the basket?  m

A basketball player is running at 4.80 m/s directly toward the basket when he jumps into the air to dunk the ball. He maintains his horizontal velocity. (a) What vertical velocity (in m/s) does he need to rise 0.800 meters above the floor? m/s (b) How far (in m) from the basket (measured in the horizontal direction) must he start his jump to reach his maximum height at the same time as he reaches the basket? m

A basketball player is running at 4.60 m/s directly toward the basket when he jumps into the air to dunk the ball. He maintains his horizontal velocity. (For each answer, enter a number.) (a) What vertical velocity (in m/s) does he need to rise 0.600 meters above the floor? m/s (b) How far (in m) from the basket (measured in the horizontal direction) must he start his jump to reach his maximum height at the same time as he reaches the basket? m

A bug leaps at an angle of 58 degrees above the horizontal, and reaches a height of 58.7 cm above the level of the ground. (a) what was the take off speed for such a leap (b) What horizontal distance did the bug cover for this world-record leap (c) What was the bug's total time in the air

A projectile is fired with an initial speed of 36 m/s at an angle 65° above the horizontal. The object hits the ground 8.0 seconds later. Using 9.80 m/s2 for the local acceleration due to gravity, how much higher or lower (in m) is the launch point relative to the point where the projectile hits the ground?

A person walks in the following pattern: 3.0 km north, then 2.1 km west, and finally 5.2 km south. (a) How far and (b) at what angle (measured counterclockwise from east) would a bird fly in a straight line from the same starting point to the same final point?

A ball is shot from the ground into the air. At a height of 7.5 m, its velocity is v = 7.5i + 6.1j m/s, with i horizontal and j upward. (a) To what maximum height does the ball rise? (b) What total horizontal distance does the ball travel? What are the (c) magnitude and (d) angle (below the horizontal; give as negative) of the ball's velocity just before it hits the ground? (a) Number Units (b) Number Units (c) Number Units (d) Number Units

In 2007, Michael Carter (U.S.) set a world record in the shot put with a throw of 24.77 m. What was the initial speed, in m/s, of the shot if he released it at a height of 2.10 m and threw it at an angle of 38.0° above the horizontal? (Although the maximum distance for a projectile on level ground is achieved at 45° when air resistance is neglected, the actual angle to achieve maximum range is smaller; thus 38° will give a longer range than 45° in the shot put.) v0 =
