Odd though it seems at first, gravity is pulling the cat down while the floor is pushing the cat up - in equal amounts. Forces are absolutely acting on the cat but they balance - so there is no net force.

In trampoline competitions, a good jump is one that lasts about 1.8 seconds. (A) How high can an athlete who stays in the air 1.

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

3.97305 m

Explanation:

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

If a jump lasts for 1.8 seconds this means that from the moment when the person leaves the ground till the person touches the ground again it takes 1.8 seconds. So, maximum height reached will be at half the time of the jump i.e., 0.9 seconds.

u = Initial velocity = 0

Equation of motion

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=0t+\frac{1}{2}9.81\times 0.9^2\\\Rightarrow s=3.97305\ m$

So, height of the jump is 3.97305 m.
