A basketball star covers 3.10 m horizontally in a jump to dunk the ball. His motion through space can be modeled precisely as that of a particle at his center of mass. His center of mass is at elevation 1.02 m when he leaves the floor. It reaches a maximum height of 1.80 m above the floor and is at elevation 0.940 m when he touches down again. Determine his time of flight (his "hang time").
Determine his horizontal velocity at the instant of takeoff.
Determine his vertical velocity at the instant of takeoff.
Determine his takeoff angle.
For comparison, determine the hang time of a whitetail deer making a jump with center-of-mass elevations
yi = 1.20 m,
ymax = 2.35 m,
and
yf = 0.740 m

Global warming will produce rising sea levels partly due to melting ice caps but also due to the expansion of water as average ocean temperatures rise. to get some idea of the size of this effect, calculate the change in length (in m) of a column of water 1.45 km high for a temperature increase of 1.12°c. assume the column is not free to expand sideways. as a model of the ocean, that is a reasonable approximation, as only parts of the ocean very close to
