if you look up trajectory in wikipedia, it gives handy formulas for figuring the height and range of a projectile at a given speed and angle.
But then, you probably already have those formulas, so where do you get stuck?
A long jumper leaves the ground at an angle of 15.1◦ to the horizontal and at a speed of 10.9 m/s.
How far does he jump? The acceleration
due to gravity is 9.8 m/s2
