Mayan kings and many school sports teams are named for the puma, cougar, or mountain lion felis concolor, the best jumper among

animals. it can jump to a height of 13.8 ft when leaving the ground at an angle of 42.2°. with what speed, in si units, does it leave the ground to make this leap?

To reach a vertical height of 13.8 ft against gravity, which has an acceleration of 32 ft/s^2, the required vertical speed can be calculated from the equation:
vi^2 - vf^2 = 2*g*h
Given that it has vf = 0 (it is not moving vertically at its maximum height), g = 32, and h = 13.8, we can solve for vi:
vi^2 = 29.72 ft/s
This is only its vertical speed, so this is equivalent to its original speed multiplied by the sine of the angle:
29.72 ft/s = (v_original)*(sin 42.2<span>°</span>)
v_original = 44.24 ft/s
Converting to m/s, this can be divided by 3.28 to get 13.49 m/s.

just olya [345]
The answer is false. The speed of the astronaut cancels out the force of gravity, causing a 'stationary freefall'. While under these effects, it is not required for an astronaut to 'strengthen' his body.

What causes clouds of dust and gas to form a protostar
just olya [345]
<h2>Answer: Gravitational attraction </h2>

Gravity force causes the clouds of dust and gas to form a protostar. As this <u>attraction force</u> is responsible for gathering and compressing the existing elements in the cloud of gas and dust, heating them during this process.

Then, when the amount of material accumulated by gravitational contraction is large enough, and the temperature and pressure reached high enough, the <u>nuclear fusion</u> process will begin.

To understand it better: The hydrogen nuclei will begin to fuse, generating helium nuclei in the process and releasing huge amounts of energy.

It should be noted that the protostars radiate half of the energy contributed by the gravitational collapse and the other half is invested in heating its core.

620 J of heat is added to the cylinder of an engine, which causes the gas inside to expand. As a result, the piston of the engin
Maru [420]

Answer:

<u>400</u> J work is done BY the engine.

The internal energy of the gas is <u>620</u> J

Explanation:

The given information are;

The heat added to the cylinder = 620 J

The force applied by the piston of the engine = 8.0 kN = 8,000 N

The distance over which the force moves (the piston) = 5.0 cm = 0.05 m

The work done (by the engine) = Force × Distance = 8,000 N × 0.05 m = 400 J

The internal energy is the sum of the kinetic and potential energy of the system

Therefore, given that the internal energy, U, is the sum total of the energy in the system

∴ U = The heat supplied to the system = 620 J

Which gives;

<u>400</u> J work is done BY the engine.

The internal energy of the gas is <u>620</u> J.
