solution:

This problem only gives us two givens: the distance and the angle the projectile (in this case a human body) moves. We start by breaking down the initial velocity into its x and y components:

eqnarray6

The velocity in the x-direction will remain constant throughout flight, while the velocity in the y direction will be acted upon by gravity.
In the x-direction the accleration is zero and the distance moved is d, the length of the jump, so:

eqnarray13

In the y direction the acceleration is g and the distance moved is zero because you leave the ground and return to it at the end of the jump:

eqnarray15

At the beginning we found expressions for the component velocities of the initial velocity, and we replace tex2html_wrap_inline51 and tex2html_wrap_inline53 with their respective expressions now:

eqnarray19

We take the first equation and solve for t

eqnarray22

We now plug in this expression for t into the equation above and solve for the initial velocity
