Question

PLEASE HELP WILL GIVE MANY POINTS QUICK PLEASE

in 2015 the daredevil Laso Schaller set a world record for the highest cliff jump, 58.8 meters or around 193 feet. how fast must he have been traveling in mph when he hit the water?​ Show work.

Answer 1

`v = 33.95m/s`

Explanation:

Given

`h = 58.8m` --- height

`u = 0` --- initial velocity

`g = 9.8m/s^2` --- acceleration

Required

The velocity when he hit the water

The velocity is then calculated using:

`v^2 = u^2 + 2gh`

This gives:

`v^2 = 0^2 + 2*9.8 * 58.8`

`v^2 = 0 + 1152.48`

`v^2 = 1152.48`

Solve for v

`v = \sqrt{1152.48`

`v = 33.95m/s`
