Hi!


We know that the boy must have thrown the bundle with some initial velocity 'v', and that the bundle stops after 1.5 seconds at a height 's' with a final velocity 'u' -which would be 0.

Our known values thus are:

Time (t) = 1.5 s

Final velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Gravitational acceleration (g) = -9.8 m/s^(2)

<em>Note: that the acceleration is negative as it is opposing the direction of motion (acting  down on the object, causing deceleration)</em>

We will be using <em>equations of motion for an accelerating object</em> to solve first for initial velocity, in order to find the distance.

<h3>Initial Velocity using     <u>v = u + at</u></h3>

Rearranging the equation, and using the value 'g' as our acceleration, we get,<em> u = v - at</em>

u = 0 - (-9.8)(1.5) = 14.7m/s

<h3>Distance Travelled using   <u>v^2 = u^2 + 2as</u></h3>

Rearranging the equation, we get, <em>s= v^(2) - u^(2) / 2a</em>

s = 0^(2) - 14^(2) / 2(-9.8)                          

<em>Note: the negative sign is not a part of the initial velocity, but a part of the equation </em>

s = - 216.09 / -19.6 = 11.025 m


The distance traveled by the bundle is hence, ~ 11 meters, which is high enough for the girl to catch.


Hope this helps!

Give an example of spinal reflex and explain how the nervous system functions in this reflex action
Bad White [126]

The patellar reflex is the most common example or a spinal reflex. When the knee is tapped, the nerve that will receives this stimulus sends an impulse to the spinal cord and relay it to the motor nerve. This sources the quadriceps muscle at the front of the thigh to contract and twitch up the leg. This reflex contains simply two nerves and one synapse. The leg will start to twitch up on the other hand the brain is just suitable aware of the tap and comprehends the situation. <span>Subsequently the tap, the leg is routinely lengthy once and comes to rest. The nonappearance of this reflex is problematical and recognized as westphals sign this reflex might be lessened or absent in lower motor neuron lesions and during sleep. </span>
