A fox locates its prey under the snow by slight sounds rodents make. The fox then leaps straight into the air, and then burrows

its nose into the snow to catch its meal. If a fox jumps up to a height of 79 cm, calculate (a) the speed at which the fox leaves the snow, and (b) how long the fox is in the air. Ignore air resistance.m/s:s:You throw a baseball directly upward at time t = 0 at an initial speed of 12.9 m/s. What is the maximum height the ball reaches above where it leaves your hand? At what times does the ball pass through half the maximum height? Ignore air resistance and take g = 9.80 m/s2.Maximum height:Earlier time at half maximum height:Later time at half maximum height:

Answer:

1.a) 3.93 m/s

 b) 0.80 s

2. a) 8.49 m

   b) 0.39 s

 

Explanation:

1. a) The speed at which the fox leaves the snow can be found as follows:

v_{f}^{2} = v_{0}^{2} - 2gH

Where:

g: is the gravity = 9.80 m/s²

v_{f}: is the final speed = 0 (at the maximum height)

v_{0}: is the initial speed =?

H: is the maximum height = 79 cm = 0.79 m

v_{0} = \sqrt{2gH} = \sqrt{2*9.80 m/s^{2}*0.79 m} = 3.93 m/s

Hence, the speed at which the fox leaves the snow is 3.93 m/s.

b) The time at which the fox reaches the maximum height is given by:

v_{f} = v_{0} - gt

t = \frac{v_{0} - v_{f}}{g} = \frac{3.93 m/s}{9.80 m/s^{2}} = 0.40 s

Now, the time of flight is:  

t_{v} = 2t = 2*0.40 s = 0.80 s

2. a) The maximum height the ball reaches is:

H = \frac{v_{0}^{2} - v_{f}^{2}}{2g} = \frac{(12.9 m/s)^{2}}{2*9.80 m/s^{2}} = 8.49 m

Then, the maximum height is 8.49 m.

b) The time at which the ball passes through half the maximum height is:

y_{f} = y_{0} + v_{0}t - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

Taking y₀ = 0 and y_{f} = 8.49/2 = 4.245 m we have:

4.245 m -12.9m/s*t + \frac{1}{2}*9.80m/s^{2}*t^{2} = 0  

By solving the above quadratic equation we have:

t = 0.39 s

Therefore, the time at which the ball passes through half the maximum height when the ball is going up is 0.39 s.

I hope it helps you!

How does inertia affect a person who is not wearing a seatbelt during a collision?
elena55 [62]
<span>The rule of inertia states that an object in motion will stay in motion unless another force has acted upon it. Because the person doesn't have their seatbelt on, they will keep moving. But if they were wearing a seatbelt, that would work as the force that is supposed to stop the person from flying forward.

Hope this helps :)

A small 18 kilogram canoe is floating downriver at a speed of 1 m/s. What is the canoe's kinetic energy?
In-s [12.5K]

Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed²).

A Physicist in the canoe, or on a raft floating downriver next to the canoe, will say that the canoe's kinetic energy is zero.

A Physicist on the riverbank, watching the canoe drift by at 1 m/s, will say that its kinetic energy is 9 Joules.

They're both correct.

Caffeine concentration is 1.99 mg/oz how many cans would be leathal if 10g was leathal and there where 12oz in a can
katovenus [111]

The number of cans that would be considered lethal if 10g was lethal and there where 12oz in a can is 419 cans.

<h3>How to convert mass?</h3>

According to this question, caffeine concentration is 1.99 mg/oz.

1.99 milligrams can be converted to grams as follows:

1.99milligrams ÷ 1000 = 0.00199grams

This means that 0.00199grams per oz is the caffeine concentration.

If there were 12 oz in a can, then, 0.00199grams × 12 = 0.02388 grams in 1 can.

This means that if 10grams is considered lethal, 10grams ÷ 0.02388 grams = 419 cans would be lethal for consumption.

Therefore, the number of cans that would be considered lethal if 10g was lethal and there where 12oz in a can is 419 cans.
