Give you something to compare your results with. It's always nice to be able to see what changes have been made to the original, even if it's not technically the original (I know that was worded weird, I just don't know how else to explain it.) Hope this helped!
Answer:
hold up nvm Reaction with oxygen
Explanation:
The distance you free-fall from rest is D = (1/2) (g) (T²) <== memorize this
Height of the platform = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (2.4 sec)²
Height = (4.9 m/s²) (5.76 s²)
Height = (4.9/5.76) meters
Height = 28.2 meters (a VERY high platform ... about 93 ft off the water !)
Without air-resistance, your horizontal speed doesn't change. It's constant. Traveling 3.1 m/s for 2.4 sec, you cover (3.1 m/s x 2/4 s) = 7.4 m horizontally.
Answer:
a)
Y0 = 0 m
Vy0 = 15 m/s
ay = -9.81 m/s^2
b) 7.71 m
c) 3.06 s
Explanation:
The knowns are that the initial vertical speed (at t = 0 s) is 15 m/s upwards. Also at that time the dolphin is coming out of the water, so its initial position is 0 m. And since we can safely assume this happens in Earth, the acceleration is the acceleration of gravity, which is 9.81 m/s^2 pointing downwards
Y(0) = 0 m
Vy(0) = 15 m/s
ay = -9.81 m/s^2 (negative because it points down)
Since acceleration is constant we can use the equation for uniformly accelerated movement:
Y(t) = Y0 + Vy0 * t + 1/2 * a * t^2
To find the highest point we do the first time derivative (this is the speed:
V(t) = Vy0 + a * t
We equate this to zero
0 = Vy0 + a * t
0 = 15 - 9.81 * t
15 = 9.81 * t
t = 0.654 s
At this time it will have a height of:
Y(0.654) = 0 + 15 * 0.654 - 1/2 * 9.81 * 0.654^2 = 7.71 m
The doplhin jumps and falls back into the water, when it falls again it position will be 0 again. So we can equate the position to zero to find how long it was in the air knowing that it started the jump at t = 0s.
0 = Y0 + Vy0 * t + 1/2 * a * t^2
0 = 0 + 15 * t - 1/2 * 9.81 t^2
0 = 15 * t - 4.9 * t^2
0 = t * (15 - 4.9 * t)
t1 = 0 This is the moment it jumped into the air
0 = 15 - 4.9 * t2
15 = 4.9 * t2
t2 = 3.06 s This is the moment when it falls again.
3.06 - 0 = 3.06 s
