A stunt coordinator has been tasked with designing a stunt where a person runs horizontally off a 35 m high cliff and dives into the water below to escape a lion that is chasing the person. The stunt coordinator needs to make sure the person runs fast enough off the cliff to land in the water 5 m from cliff and not on the shore line. After some thinking, the stunt coordinator records the following measurements: Height of the Cliff 35 m Range (horizontal displacement) 5 m Mass of the Diver 85 kg Has the stunt coordinator collected all of the measurements he needs to determine what the initial horizontal velocity of the person needs to be to land 5 m from the cliff? Question 13 options: He needs to collect more measurements Yes, he only needs the height of the cliff and the mass of the person Yes, he only needs the horizontal displacement (range) and the mass of the person Yes, he only needs the height of the cliff and horizontal displacement (range)
