The answer to your question would be C
Answer: D. 0.29 m
Explanation:
We will use the following equations to describe the leap of the cat:
(1)
(2)
Where:
is the height of the cat
is the cat's initial velocity
is the acceleration due gravity
is the time
is the y-component of the velocity
Now the cat will have its maximum height 
when 
. So equation (2) is rewritten as:
(3)
Finding :
(4)
(5)
(6)
Substituting (6) in (1):
(7)
Finally:
(8)
Answer:
Point 2.
Explanation:
Potential energy is simply defined as the energy stored in an object due to its position. It is can be represented mathematically by:
P.E = mgh
Where:
P.E is the potential energy.
m is the mass of the object.
g is acceleration due to gravity.
h is the height to which the object is located.
From the above equation, we can thus say that potential energy depends on the height of the object since the mass of the object is always constant i.e as the height of the object increase, the potential energy also increases and as the height of the object decrease, the potential energy also decreases.
Now, considering the diagram in the question given, we can see that point 2 is the lowest height to which the rider is located. At this point i.e point 2, the rider will have the least potential energy.
