Answer:

1.292 m/s

Explanation:

For her trajectory motion, the time taken to descend to a height of 9 m is given as

t = √(2H/g) = √[(2×9)/9.8] = 1.355 s

Then the range (horizontal distance covered) is related to the time to reach that height and the corresponding horizontal velocity as shown in

R = ut

where u = initial horizontal velocity

1.75 = u × 1.355

u = 1.292 m/s

This is the minimum speed just as she leaves the top of the cliff to miss the ledge described in the question.

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

Halfway between B and A on the return leg.

Explanation:

Your average SPEED for the entire trip will equal your constant speed as the time and distance increase at proportionate rates.

Your average VELOCITY will equal your constant speed while you travel from A to B because time and displacement are increasing at proportionate rates.

When you turn around at B to return, your Displacement is now decreasing while your travel time continues to increase, so your average velocity decreases.

Lets say the distance from A to B is 90 km and your constant speed is 30 km/hr.

your average speed is 30 km/hr because you took 6 hrs to travel 180 km

We want to find your position when your average velocity is 30/3 = 10 km/hr

it took 3 hrs to go 90 km from A to B. Let t be the time lapsed since turn around

your displacement is given by d = 90 - 30(t)

and your total time of travel is t + 3 hrs

 v = d/t

10 = (90 - 30t) / (t + 3)

10(t + 3) = (90 - 30t)

10t + 30 = 90 - 30t

40t = 60

t = 1.5 hrs

This will occur when you are halfway between B and A
