A running mountain lion can make a leap 10.0 mm long, reaching a maximum height of 3.0 mm. What is the speed of the mountain lion just as it leaves the ground? At what angle does it leave the ground?
On New Year’s eve of 2007, Robbie Maddison set the world record for the longest motorcycle jump, traveling 98.3 m through the air from ramp to ramp. (The record has since been broken several times by Maddision himself.) Assuming a launch angle of 45°, insignificant air resistance and a landing location at the same height as the launch height, determine the speed with which Maddison left the ramp.
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?
