To solve this problem we will use the kinematic equations of descriptive motion of a projectile for which both the height reached and the distance traveled are defined. From this type of movement the lion reaches a height (H) of 3m and travels a horizontal distance (R) of 10 m. Mathematically the equations that describe this movement are given as,

H = \frac{v_0^2sin^2\theta}{2g}

R = \frac{v_0^2 sin 2\theta}{g}

Dividing the two equation we have that

\frac{H}{R}=\frac{\frac{v_0^2sin^2\theta}{2g}}{\frac{v_0^2 sin 2\theta}{g}}

\frac{H}{R}= \frac{sin^2\theta}{2}*\frac{1}{sin2\theta}

\frac{H}{R}= \frac{sin^2\theta}{2}*\frac{1}{2sin\theta cos\theta}

\frac{H}{R}= \frac{1}{4} \frac{sin\theta}{cos\theta}

\frac{H}{R}= \frac{1}{4} tan\theta

Substituting values of H and R, we get

\frac{3}{10} = \frac{1}{4} tan\theta

\theta = tan^{-1} \frac{12}{10}

\theta = 50.2\°

Substituting the value of \theta in equation we get,

H = \frac{v_0^2sin^2\theta}{2g}

v_0^2 = \frac{H 2g}{sin^2\theta}

v_0^2 = \frac{3*2*9.8}{sin^2(50.2)}

v_0^2 = 99.62

v_0 = \sqrt{99.62}

v_0 = 9.98m/s

Therefore the speed of the mountain lion just as it leaves the ground is 9.98m/s at an angle of 50.2°

Which type of motion occur in a lift in one word<br>Pls answer​
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Lift occurs when a moving flow of gas is turned by a solid object. The flow is turned in one direction, and the lift is generated in the opposite direction, according to Newton's Third Law of action and reaction. Because air is a gas and the molecules are free to move about, any solid surface can deflect a flow.

An instrument to measure the acceleration of gravity on Mars is constructed of a spring from which is suspended a mass of 0.4 kg
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

The Martian acceleration of gravity (as measured by this jury-rigged device) is

(0.4 cm/1.08 cm) x (9.81 m/s²)

That's  <em>3.63 m/s²</em> .

Google says  3.711 m/s², so I guess that's not too bad.  

Only about 2% wrong.
