This obeys the laws of Physics, but still unbelievable!

Ok - when was the last snack card challenge? Too long ago I hear you say. Well this one is a little more challenging than most. Can you calculate the velocity this Japanese guy needs to cover the 6.30m to break the world record? (hint: time of flight). Post your answers below (first name and tutor group). Correct answer wins a 100B snack card.

    the answer is: 10.6 m/s at an angle of 25.1

    The velocity is not 10.6 m/s. What time of flight did you use? You need to find the time taken from when he leaves the trampoline to when he lands, not when he dunks the ball. Glad to see you quoted the angle also since I asked for the velocity (a vector).

    Im not sure about the answer as im only in year 8, but my guess is its 3.15m/s.

    Speed is 11.8 m/s. Angle of launch= 57.8 degrees?

    3.15m/s ( I think)
