Question

An athlete competing in long jump leaves the ground with a speed of 9.14 m/s at an angle of 35.00 above the horizontal. What is the length of the athlete's jump?

Answer 1

Answer:

      R = 8.01 m

Explanation:

We can solve this problem using the projectile launch equations. The jump length is the throw range

           R = v₀² sin  2θ / g

in the exercise they give us the initial speed of 9.14 m / s and in the launch angle 35º

let's calculate

           R = 9.14² sin (2  35) / 9.8

           R = 8.01 m

this is the jump length
