An elephant jumps sideways from a 25 meter-tall platform. He jumps from the platform with an initial velocity of 4 meters per second to the right.1) How long till he lands?
2) How far from the platform will he land?
3) In the instant before he lands, how fast is he moving to the right?
4) In the instant before he lands, how fast is he falling?
Another Problem to consider:A plane is heading East at 115 meters per second, flying at an altitude of 1050 meters. A clown jumps out of the plane.
1) How long will the clown be in the air, from the moment he leaves the plane to the moment he hits the ground (don't worry, clowns bounce!)
2) How fast will he be moving to the East in the instant before he hits the ground?
3) How fast will he be falling in the instant before he hits the ground?
4) How far, from the point where he left the plane, will the clown land.
5) What does Mr. B have against clowns and elephants?
