Question 1187679: If an athlete could jump 23.5 ft. when his takeoff velocity is 9.2 m/s, how far could he
jump be if his take-off velocity is only 09.0 m/s assuming that the jump is proportional
to the square of the take-off velocity. Answer by ikleyn(52799) (Show Source):
Following to the problem's description, write this proportion
=
Simplify it
= 1.044938
and find x, showing how far the jump could be
x = = 22.49 ft. ANSWER
