Julie, who has a mass of 65 kg, is enjoying a day at the local water park with some friends. She waits for her turn at the top of a water slide and then begins sliding down. The topof the water slide is 12 m above the pool and the bottom is 1 m above the pool. How fast is she moving when she reaches the bottom, in m/s? (Round your answer to one decimal place if necessary.)

A classic wooden coaster has cars that go down a big first hill, gaining speed. The cars then ascend a second hill with a slope of 30°. If the cars are going 25 m/s at the bottom and it takes them 2.0 s to climb this hill, how fast are they going at the top?
Spud Webb, height 5'7", was one of the shortest basketball players to play in the NBA. But he had an impressive vertical leap; he was reportedly able to jump 110 cm off the ground. Hint: suggest using the Prep and Solve steps. To jump this high, with what speed would he leave the ground? What was his hang time (how long was he off the ground)?
