Question

A skier leaves the end of a horizontal ski jump at 22.0 m/s and falls 3.20 m before landing. Neglecting friction, how far horizontally does the skier travel in the air before landing?

Answer 1

time to fall 3.2 m

h=1/2 g t^2

t= sqrt (2*3.2/9.8)

distance horizontal=22*timetofall

Answer 2

17.7

Answer 3

22m

Answer 4

21.6
