2. Kyle wants to jump into the water from a cliff that is 21.0 m tall. There are rocks that stick out 9.50 m from the base of the cliff. a) What time will he be in the air? b) What must his horizontal speed be in order to clear the rocks? c) What is his velocity of impact? What is his velocity in d) vector components and e) angle-magnitude when he is 6.00 m above the water? (Hint – you need to use how far down from the cliff edge he is…)

5. An ordinary projectile leaves the ground at a speed of 27.4 m/s at an angle above the horizontal of 57.0o and strikes a wall 62.0 m distant. a) What is the greatest height the projectile reaches? b) In what time does it hit the wall? c) How high does it hit the wall? (Assume the land is level) d) What is its velocity of impact with the wall in terms of x and y components and angle-magnitude?

Here is my solution
