Q. A 76 kg skier starts from rest at a height of H = 27 m above the end of the ski-jump ramp. As the skier leaves the ramp, his velocity makes an angle of 28° with the horizontal. Neglect the effects of air resistance and assume the ramp is frictionless. What is the maximum height h of his jump above the end of the ramp?
Q. A boy shoots a BB gun horizontally at a target 15 m away. The gun is aimed directly at the center of the target, but the small metal BB hits 56 cm lower. Neglecting any air resistance, what was the initial speed of the BB?
