A skier launches off a small ramp that is 2.0 m above the ground, moving horizontally. She lands 16 m away from the base of the ramp, and it takes her 0.8 seconds to reach the ground.

Assume air resistance is negligible and the horizontal velocity remains constant throughout the jump.

What was her speed at take-off, rounded to the nearest integer?

1. 2.5 m/s
2. 12.8 m/s
3. 15 m/s
4. 20 m/s

A student throws a ball with a speed of 20 m/s at an angle of 40° above the horizontal. What are the horizontal and vertical components of the ball’s velocity?

1. Horizontal: 15.3 m/s, Vertical: 12.9 m/s
2. Horizontal: 12.9 m/s, Vertical: 15.3 m/s
3. Horizontal: 20.0 m/s, Vertical: 0.0 m/s
4. Horizontal: 17.1 m/s, Vertical: 17.1 m/s

A rescue drone is flying with a velocity of 30 m/s, N30°E, relative to the ground. The wind is blowing at 15 m/s in an eastern direction, relative to the ground.

What is the magnitude of the drone’s velocity relative to the wind?

1. 15.0 m/s
2. 20.2 m/s
3. 26 m/s
4. 33.2 m/s
