Bob Beamon's 1968 Olympic long jump set a world record which remains unbroken to this day. This amazing jump resulted from an initial velocity of 9.5 m/s at an angle of 40 degrees from the horizontal.
1. Calculate the initial horizontal velocity (V_ix) to two significant figures:
2. Calculate the initial vertical velocity (V_iy) to two significant figures:
3. Calculate the time needed to reach the highest point of the jump (t_1/2) to two significant figures:
4. Calculate the total time (t_TOT) needed to complete the jump to two significant figures:
5. Calculate the maximum height (h) reached during the jump to two significant figures:
6. Calculate the range (total horizontal distance) of his jump to two significant figures:
