Wow! Thank you so much for your help! Thinking of acceleration as force really helps - I appreciate your time and the way you ex;lain things!

Thanks! So when the initial velocity is purely horizontal, that means that we are assuming the initial speed of the fall is 0 and thus, the y-component is calculated using simple free fall acceleration? I first calculated the time it would take the lemming to land if it were free falling...

Homework Statement A lemming accelerates uniformly starting from rest 2 meters 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? Homework Equations...
