The Coyote s strapped to jet-powered roller skates whch provde hm wth a constant horzontal acceleraton o 5.0 m/s. He starts 70.0 m rom the edge o a cl, racng towards the Roadrunner. O course at the last nstant, the Roadrunner runs away and the Coyote les o the edge o the cl. I the cl s 00.0 m above the base o a canyon, (a) determne where the Coyote wll land? (b) What wll be the magntude and the drecton o the Coyote's velocty just beore he hts the ground? Assume that the jet-powered skates are on all the tme.

As the Coyote alls, the moton wll be two-dmensonal and he wll be subject to an acceleraton whch wll have two components; a horzontal component due to hs jet powered skates and a vertcal component due to gravty.

Note the nal velocty along x wll not be equal to the ntal velocty along x because there s an acceleraton along the x-drecton.
