T = D/V, where D = distance, V = tangential velocity.
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

Knowing that
, we solve for Vo


Thus, the initial speed of Mike Powell was 12 m/s
Answer:
Solar eclipses may be classified as either total, in which the Moon completely covers the Sun, or annular, in which the Moon obscures all but an outer ring of the Sun.
