A diver springs upward from a diving board. At the instant she contacts the water her speed is 8.90 m/s, and her body is extended at an angle of 75.0° with respect to the horizontal surface of the water. At this instant her vertical displacement is -3.00 m, where downward is the negative direction. Determine her initial velocity, both magnitude and direction.
A cannon fires projectiles on a flat range at a fixed speed but with variable angle. The maximum range of the cannon is L. What is the range of the cannon when it fires at an angle of 30° above the horizontal? Ignore air resistance.
A baseball is thrown at an angle of 25° relative to the ground at a speed of 23.0 m/s. The ball is caught 42.0 m from the thrower.
You kick a soccer ball with an initial velocity directed 53° above the horizontal. The ball lands on a roof 7.2 m high. The wall of the building is 25 m away, and it takes the ball 2.1 seconds to pass directly over the wall.
A car accelerates from rest with an acceleration of 3.5 m/s2 for 10 seconds. After this, it continues at a constant speed for an unknown amount of time. The driver notices a ramp 50 m ahead and takes 0.6 seconds to react. After reacting, the driver hits the brakes which slow the car with an acceleration of 7.2 m/s2. Unfortunately, the driver does not stop in time and goes off the 3m high ramp that is angled at 27°.
47.59 m/s

General Metric Conversion Chart
Example of using unit analysis: Convert 5 kilometers to millimeters.
Start with the given measurement: [katex]\text{5 km}[/katex]
Use the conversion factors for kilometers to meters and meters to millimeters: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}}[/katex]
Perform the multiplication: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}} = 5 \times 10^3 \times 10^3 \, \text{mm}[/katex]
Simplify to get the final answer: [katex]\boxed{5 \times 10^6 \, \text{mm}}[/katex]
