A child starts from rest and slides without friction from a height of h = 5.0 m along a slide next to a pool (see fiqure). She is launched from a height of 0.8 m (ignore the h/5 in the fiqure) at an angle of 240 into the air over the pool Утах th/5 What is her maximum height above the water after leaving the slide? Hint: it is possible to do this without doing projectile motion, even desirable as we are trying to learn conservation of energy; this problem does require you to use conservation of energy more than once 3.1 Xm
For all questions, assume concepts such as friction or air resistance are negligible, unless stated otherwise in the question.

Tarzan, in one tree, sights Jane in another tree. He grabs the end of a vine with length 20 m that makes an angle of 45° with the vertical, steps off his tree limb, and swings down and then up to Jane’s open arms. When he arrives, his vine makes an angle of 30° with the vertical. Determine whether he gives her a tender embrace or knocks her off her limb by calculating Tarzan’s speed just before he reaches Jane. Ignore air resistance and the mass of the vine.
At a local swimming pool, the diving board is elevated h = 9.5 m above the pool's surface and overhangs the pool edge by L = 2 m. A diver runs horizontally along the diving board with a speed of vo = 4.9 m/s and then falls into the pool. Neglect air resistance. Use a coordinate system with the horizontal x-axis pointing in the direction of the diver's initial motion, and the vertical y-axis pointing up. Enter an expression for the time ty it takes the diver to fall off the end of the diving board to the pool's surface in terms of vo, h, L, and g. Calculate this time, ty in seconds.Determine the horizontal distance, dy in meters, from the edge of the pool to where the diver enters the water.
