Homework Statement
If an athlete jumped 2 feet high and left the ground at an angle of 20 degrees with respect to the horizontal, how fast was the athlete going in the forward (positive horizontal) and upward (positive vertical) directions immediately after takeoff? If the height of takeoff was the same as the height of landing, how fast was the athlete going in the horizontal and vertical directions right before landing?
Homework Equations
vx = vcos(thata)
vy = vsin(theta)
Immediately after take off :
vx = 2cos25 = 1.8126
vy = 2sin25 = 0.845
right before landing:
vx = 2cos25 = 1.8126
vy = 2sin25 = -0.845
