Refer to the diagram shown below.

Assume g = 9.8 m/s² and ignore air resistance.

Let V = the initial speed
Let d = the distance raveled (how far she jumps).

The horizontal velocity is
Vx = V cos(20°) = 0.9397V m/s
The vertical launch velocity is
Vy = V sin(20°) = 0.342V m/s

At maximum height of 0.6 m, the vertical velocity is zero. Therefore
Vy² - 2*(9.8 m/s²)*(0.6 m) = 0
(0.342V m/s)² = 11.76 (m/s)²
0.342V = 3.4293
V = 10.027 m/s

Therefore
Vy = 0.342*10.027  = 3.4239 m/s
Vx = 0.9397*10.027 = 9.4226 m/s

The time to attain maximum height is a half of the total time of travel. This time is given by
Vy - gt = 0
3.4239 = 9.8*t
t = 3.4239/9.8 = 0.3494 s
The total travel time is 2*0.3494 = 0.6988 s

The length of the jump is
Vx*(2t) = (9.4226 m/s)*(0.6988 s) = 6.5845 m

Answer:
The initial speed is 10.0 m/s (nearest tenth)
The length of the jump is 6.58 m (nearest hundredth)

A ball is dropped from a height of 10m. At the same time, another ball is thrown

5.1 m

Explanation:

Let's set the ground as our reference point. Let's also call the dropped ball to be ball #1 and its height above the ground at any time t is given by

y_1 = 10 - \frac{1}{2}gt^2 (1)

where 10 represents its initial height or displacement of 10 m above the ground. At the same time, the displacement of the second ball with respect to the ground y_2, is given by

y_2 = v_0t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2 (2)

At the instant the two balls collide, they will have the same displacement, therefore

y_1 = y_2 \Rightarrow 10 - \frac{1}{2}gt^2 = v_0t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

or

v_0t = 10\:\text{m}

Solving for t, we get

t = \dfrac{10\:\text{m}}{v_0} = \dfrac{10\:\text{m}}{10\:\text{m/s}} = 1\:\text{s}

We can use either Eqn(1) or Eqn(2) to hind the height where they collide. Let's use Eqn(1):

y_1 = 10\:\text{m} - \frac{1}{2}(9.8\:\text{m/s}^2)(1\:\text{s})^2

\:\:\:\:\:\:\:= 5.1\:\text{m}
