distance:
4.4=4.3*cos17*time. Solve for time.
final height
hf=4.3*sin17*time- 1/2 g time^2
solve for hf.
In a scene in an action movie, a stunt man jumps from the top of one building to the top of another building 4.4 m away. After a unning start, he leaps at an angle of 17◦ with respect to the flat roof while traveling at a speed of 4.3 m/s.
The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s2 .
To determine if he will make it to the other roof, which is 1.5 m shorter than the build- ing from which he jumps, find his vertical displacement upon reaching the front edge of the lower building with respect to the taller building.
Answer in units of m.
