For this problem think about a long jumper who takes off and lands from different heights. This is due to the
Center of Gravity being higher when they leave the ground then when they contact the sand. If the jumper
has a horizontal distance traveled of 7.5 meters and an initial horizontal velocity 6.1 m/s and a takeoff angle
of 30 degrees.
How far did the jumper fall vertically from takeoff to landing?

- How would you give the value of g ⃗ in vector form?arrow_forwardYou have put a sonar device at the top of a frictionless inclined plane, as shown in the diagram below. That device allows you to measure the distance an object is from the device, as well as the speed and the acceleration of that object. If we decide that the origin (h = 0) is at the sonar device, we want to know what the height change is as we slide down the incline. 0 For an angle below the horizontal of 6.46, we see that our object has slid a distance 1.13 m, as measured along the incline itself. Calculate the height change in meters - and report your answer as a negative number.
