A ski jumper starts with a horizontal take-off velocity of 25 m/s and lands on a straight landing hill inclined at 30°. determine (a) the time between take-off and landing, (b) the length d of the jump, (c) the maximum vertical distance between the jumper and the landing hill.

Respuesta :

Refer to the diagram shown below.

The time between take off and landing is
[tex]t= \frac{dcos(30^{o}) \, m}{25 \, m/s} =0.0346d \, s[/tex]

The vertical drop is
[tex]h=dsin(30^{o})= \frac{1}{2}gt^{2} \\ 0.5d = 0.5(9.8)(0.0346d)^{2} \\0.5=0.00588d\\d=85.034 \, m[/tex]

Part (a)
Therefore,
t = 0.034685.034 = 2.946 s

Answer:  2.95 s (nearest hundredth)

Part (b)
The length of the jump is d = 85.034 m

Answer:  85.0 m (nearest tenth)

Part (c)
The vertical distance is
h = d sin(30) = 42.52 m

Answer: 42.5 m (nearest tenth)
