1.A long jumper at 20' angle and attains a maximum height of 0.6 m. How far is her jump?
----------------
It's a parabola.
2. A car starts from rest with an acceleration of 8 m/s². After 30s, how fast is it going?
----
8*30 = 240 m/sec
=====================
3. A bag is dropped from cliff 50m high Disregarding air resistance, how long does it take it to reach ground?
----
s = at^2/2
50 = at^2/2
t^2 = 100/a ---- a is acceleration due to gravity.
Solve for t.
