Ski jumper competing for an Olympic gold medal want to jump a horizontal distance of 135 m. The take off point of the ski jump is at a height of 25 m. With that horizontal speed Must he leave the jump?
to solve this question you need to find the time span of the ski jumper before he lands thus 25 = 1/2*10*t^2 50/10 = t^2 t = 2.23 seconds and the distance is given 135m speed = distance/time = 135/2.23 = 60.5 m/s
