A: The Ski Jump The ski jump is an exciting and death-defying event that turns humans into projectiles! study the physics of the craziest winter sport as featured at the Vancouver Winter Olympics in 2010. A typical ski jumper will be launched with a speed of 26 m/s. What is hard to notice pictures is that the launch angle is below the horizontal! For the Vancouver hills, the VI was 11.250 below the horizontal. 1. Represent. Begin all your projectile motion Horizontal Vertical problems by drawing a sketch and creating a chart listing what you know about the horizontal and Vly = 5.1 vertical motion. Include a sign convention. Find components of any known vectors Adj = V2y = ay = 2. Explain. Explain what steps are involved in ax = finding the jumper's vertical velocity after a time At = Ady = interval At. At = - Solve. Determine the jumper's total velocity vector after 1.8 s of flight. 4. Evaluate. Is your result reasonable (size, units, direction)? Explain
