A baseball is projected horizontally with an initial speed of 5.93 m/s from a height of 1.73 m. What is the speed of the baseball when
it hits the ground? (Neglect air friction.)
A skier is travelling horizontally across frictionless snow at 10 m/s. He goes up an also frictionless slope and his speed drops to 5 m/s at the top when he resumed moving horizontally. How high did he go?
Tarzan, in one tree, sights Jane in another tree. He grabs the end of a vine with length 20 m that makes an angle of 45° with the vertical, steps off his tree limb, and swings down and then up to Jane’s open arms. When he arrives, his vine makes an angle of 30° with the vertical. Determine whether he gives her a tender embrace or knocks her off her limb by calculating Tarzan’s speed just before he reaches Jane. Ignore air resistance and the mass of the vine.
