This week in physics we learned how to use formulas like d, a, t, and v, a, t, and d, v, t to solve for where an object would land coming off of a cliff or ledge. For example I could use certain givens like the height of the bed and acceleration of earth to calculate where the calculator would land on the x-axis. To me this is a pretty cool skill because it allows a person to make predictions and find out where something would land. A skill like this could be used for stuntman to determine if they could make a certain jump. Because we had a problem that modeled how certain velocities can affect the outcome of a distance. Therefore it is important to know where things will land.
