Problem 7: A secret agent skis off a slope inclined at 0 = 29 degrees below
horizontal at a speed of vo = 12.3 m/s. He must clear a gorge, and the slope on the
other side of the gorge is h = 14.5 m below the edge of the upper slope.
What is the maximum width, w, of the gorge (in meters) so that the agent clears it?

- A peregrine falcon is the fastest bird, flying at a speed of 200 mi/h. Nature has adapted the bird to reach such a speed by placing baffles in its nose to prevent air from rushing in and slowing it down. Also, the bird's eyes adjust their focus faster than the eyes of any other creature, so the falcon can focus quickly on its prey. Assume that a peregrine falcon is moving horizontally at its top speed at a height of 100m above the ground when it brings its wings into its sides and begins to drop in free fall.
