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 11.7 ft when leaving the ground at an angle of 41.1°. with what speed, in si units, does it leave the ground to make this leap?

The launch velocity is at 41.1° relative to the horizontal.
Let V = the launch velocity, ft/s
The horizontal component of the velocity is
Vx =Vcos(41.1°) = 0.7536V ft/s
The vertical component of the launch velocity is
Vy = Vsin(41.1) = 0.6574V ft/s

Assume that g = 32 ft/s² and neglect air resistance. 

At the maximum height of 11.7 ft, the vertical velocity is zero. Therefore
Vy² - 2*32*11.7 = 0
Vy² = 748.8
Vy = 27.3642 ft/s

Therefore
0.6574V = 27.3642
V = 41.8285 ft/s

Note that
1 ft/s = 0.3048 m/s
Therefore
V = 41.8285*0.3048 = 12.749 m/s

Answer: 12.75 m/s

#26: Why is spear fishing much more successful for scuba divers than someone spear fishing from above the water? Explain your re
frozen [14]
The water has an irregular surface so if the light rays fall on top then it will reflect oppositely or in some cases may refract, so the fish will seem a bit smaller or further or closer in anyway, example if u put a straw in water it looks bent but is it ? nope. So the main reason is that it refracts which makes the accuracy lesser which make it difficult.

A 62kg box is lifted 12 meters off the ground. How much work is done?
Temka [501]

Answer: 7291.2 joules

Explanation:

Work is done when force is applied on an object over a distance.

Thus, Workdone = Force X distance

Since Distance moved by box = 12 metres

mass of box = 62kg

Acceleration due to gravity when box was lifted is represented by g = 9.8m/s^2

Recall that Force = Mass x acceleration due to gravity

i.e Force = 62kg x 9.8m/s^2

= 607.6 Newton

So, Workdone = Force X Distance

Workdone = 607.6 Newton X 12 metres

Workdone = 7291.2 joules

Thus, 7291.2 joules of work was done.

What is a physical property of giant covalent structures?
pav-90 [236]
Very high melting<span> points - Substances with giant covalent structures have very high</span>melting<span> points, because a lot of strong covalent bonds must be broken. Graphite, for example, has a </span>melting point<span> of more than 3,600ºC. Variable conductivity - Diamond does not conduct electricity.</span>

The atomic radius of metal X is 1.20 × 102 picometers (pm) and a crystal of metal X has a unit cell that is face-centered cubic.
dmitriy555 [2]
The density of the metal can be determined through the formula [n*MW]/ Na*[a^3] . substituting, we get, 

<span>d = [n*MW]/ Na*[a^3] 
</span><span>d = [4 atoms*42.3 g/mol]/ [6.022 x 1023atoms/mol* (sqrt 8 *1.20x10-10)^3] 
</span>d = 0.719 g/cm3

8. There are different characteristics for each of the states of matter. Which statement
Ahat [919]

Answer:

a. Temperatures increase can change a solid to a liquid, but cannot change a liquid to a solid

b. The particles in a solid are much closer together than the particles in a liquid.

Explanation:

Any material expands when heated and contracts when cooled. So, when a body is heated to a particular temperature, it starts melting and changes into a liquid.

As the material expands the distance between the atoms or molecules increases and it will become a liquid. So it can move around the material. It doesn't become solid on further heating. But water is an exception where it contracts when heated from 0° to 4° C.

In solids, these atoms or molecules are closely packed. It is rigidly fixed.

The solid, as well as the liquid, has a definite volume, but the liquid does not have a definite shape.
