For 3 (a), I feel like I've gotten it down correctly, but comments would be appreciated! 3 (b), I'm not too sure about; could anyone please give a thorough review and point out mistakes if there are any?
Number 4, I have no idea where to even begin. I've spent nearly an hour brainstorming, but have gotten nowhere. I do have class notes, but I'm unable to make sense of any of it. May I please have some direction on how I could go about solving? Are there any formulas I should be looking into?
1. Homework Statement
3) A projectile is fired from ground at 37 degrees above horizontal at speed 50 m/s.
a) Determine the position of the highest point and the time it takes to reach it.
b) Determine the position and time at which it strikes a wall 200 m away.
4) (See figure.) A lemming accelerates uniformly starting from rest 2 m before jumping horizontally from the top of a 20 m high cliff. What is the minimum acceleration required so that the lemming can clear the rocks stretching out 4 m from the base of the cliff?
