Bob Beamon's 1968 Olympic long jump set a world record which remains unbroken to this day. This amazing jump resulted from an initial velocity of 9.5 m/s at an angle of 40 degrees from the horizontal. 1. Calculate the initial horizontal velocity (V_ix) to two significant figures:

2. Calculate the initial vertical velocity (V_iy) to two significant figures:

3. Calculate the time needed to reach the highest point of the jump (t_1/2) to two significant figures:

4. Calculate the total time (t_TOT) needed to complete the jump to two significant figures:

5. Calculate the maximum height (h) reached during the jump to two significant figures:

6. Calculate the range (total horizontal distance) of his jump to two significant figures:

Glass is transparent to visibile light under normal conditions; however, at extremely high intensities, glass will absorb most of the light incident upon it. this works through a process known as multiphoton absorption. in this process, several photons are absorbed at the same time. if very intense light whose photons carry 2ev of energy is shined onto a material with a band gap of 4ev, that light can be absorbed through two-photon absorption, because two photons have the right amount of energy to bridge the band gap. what is the minimum number of photons of 800-nm light that are needed to equal or exceed the band gap of fused silica glass
