Question

A flea jumps straight up to a maximum height of 0.550 m . what is its initial velocity v0 as it leaves the ground?

Answer 1

Since my givens are x = .550m [Vsub0] = unknown
 [Asubx] = =9.80
 
 [Vsubx]^2 = [Vsub0x]^2 + 2[Asubx] * (X-[Xsub0]

[Vsubx]^2 = [Vsub0x]^2 + 2[Asubx] * (X-[Xsub0]) 

Vsubx is the final velocity, which at the max height is 0, and Xsub0 is just 0 as that's where it starts so I just plug the rest in

0^2 = [Vsub0x]^2 + 2[-9.80]*(.550)

0 = [Vsub0x]^2 -10.78

10.78 = [Vsub0x]^2

Sqrt(10.78) = 3.28 m/s
