A 110 pound man runs off a cliff going at .5 meters per second. The cliff is 43 meters tall. there is a ship 7 meters away from the base of the cliff. Also, as soon as he falls, there is a constant wind going at 30 miles per hour blowing at North 30 degrees West. How far away from the boat does the man land?

I need the answer in meters please. Some of the measurements provided are not using the metric system (i.e pounds and miles). This question is just taking me way too long.

How does feet have anything to do with anything? I hope you mean pounds and miles...

1 pound = 453.5970244035 grams
1 mile = 1.609269391696169938 meters

the mile to meter conversion above is off by three decimals. Heres the correct one:

1 mile = 1609.2693916961299388 meters

I can see why you are having a difficult time. If you can't convert from feet to meters you will never be able to answer. After you come back and tell me how to convert I will give you the answer. By the way it is really easy.

you may no longer do modern-day physics without a sturdy grounding in classical physics. modern-day physics is positioned up Michealson Morley test, Lorentz-Fitzgerald and Einstein. modern-day Physics tries to settle on lots of the paradoxes that one and all started cropping up in classical physics on the extremes. It succeeds extra or much less. Classical physics is regularly a lot extra intuitive and subsequently much less demanding. while you're going into biology and desire to get severe approximately it you will pick modern-day physics for lots of the biochemistry. the two are relaxing.

This one can't be solved until you establish the direction the man was running, the direction to the shift from his take-off point, and the relation between wind speed and force on the man.
