Part ( II ) Open Questions : ( — / 12 points)

9. The longest shot on a golf tournament was made by Mike Austin in 1974. The ball
went a distance of 471 m. Suppose the ball was shot horizontally off a cliff at 80.0
m/s. Calculate the height of the cliff. ( — / 3 points)

10. The longest stuffed toy ever manufactured is a 420 m snake made by Norwegian
children. Suppose a projectile is thrown horizontally from a height half as long as
the snake and the projectile’s horizontal displacement is as long as the snake.
What would be the projectile’s initial speed? ( — / 4 points)

 11. Measurements made in 1910 indicate that the common flea is an impressive
jumper, given its size. Assume that a flea’s initial speed is 2.2 𝑚/𝑠, and that it leaps
at an angle of 21° with respect to the horizontal. If the jump lasts 0.16 𝑠, what is
the magnitude of the flea’s horizontal displacement? How high does the flea jump?
