Excellent human jumpers can leap straight up to a height of
110 cm off the ground. To reach this height, with what speed
would a person need to leave the ground?

Respuesta :

For a human jumper to reach a height of 110 cm, the person will need to leave the ground at a speed of 4.65 m/s.  

We can calculate the initial speed to reach 110 cm of height with the following equation:

[tex] v_{f}^{2} = v_{i}^{2} - 2gh [/tex]

Where:

[tex] v_{f}[/tex]: is the final speed = 0 (at the maximum height of 110 cm)

[tex] v_{i}[/tex]: is the initial speed =?

g: is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h: is the height = 110 cm = 1.10 m

Hence, the initial velocity is:

[tex] v_{i} = \sqrt{v_{f}^{2} + 2gh} = \sqrt{2*9.81 m/s^{2}*1.10 m} = 4.65 m/s [/tex]

Therefore, the initial speed that the person must have to reach 110 cm is 4.65 m/s.
