Answer:

<em>12 m/s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Projectile Motion</u>

It's also known as 2D motion because the movement takes place in both axis x and y. The x-axis motion is at a constant speed since in absence of friction, no external force stops or accelerates the object. The y-axis motion is at variable speed, which is changed by the acceleration of gravity that makes the object to reach a maximum height and then go back to ground level.

The maximum horizontal distance reached (also called Range) is given by

\displaystyle X_m=\frac{V_{o}^2sin2\theta}{g}

Knowing that \theta=18.8^o, X_m=8.95\ m, we solve for Vo

\displaystyle V_o=\sqrt{\frac{gX_m}{sin2\theta}}

\displaystyle V_o=\sqrt{\frac{9.8\cdot 8.95}{sin(2\cdot 18.8^o)}}=12\ m/s

Thus, the initial speed of Mike Powell was 12 m/s
