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!

Why is pure oxygen stored as a liquid under pressure
yKpoI14uk [10]
<h2>Answer: It is highly flammable.</h2>

Explanation:

Liquid oxygen is created from oxygen atoms that have been forced to assume the liquid state due to <u>compression (change of pressure) and temperature modification. </u>

Specifically this is achieved by cooling the oxygen enough to change it to its liquid state. So,<u> as the temperature drops, the atoms move more slowly because they have less energy. </u>

In this sense, in the liquid state it is easier to store and mobilize oxygen, taking into account that it is a highly flammable gas.

In a car with a mass of 4,000 KG is accelerating at a rate of 2m/s2 and hits a tree what force does it have
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

According to Newton's second law of motion, the acceleration of a body is directly proportional to the force acting on the body and inversely proportional to its mass. The formula for this law is

F=ma

=4000kg * 2m/s 2 =8000N

Why type of energy is present after a solar panel changes forms?
NNADVOKAT [17]

Explanation:

Solar technologies convert sunlight into electrical energy either through photovoltaic (PV) panels or through mirrors that concentrate solar radiation. This energy can be used to generate electricity or be stored in batteries or thermal storage.

What orientation of velocity and acceleration will cause something to initially speed up?
Temka [501]
-- If acceleration and velocity are in the same direction,
then the object is speeding up.

-- If acceleration and velocity are in opposite directions,
then the object is slowing down.

-- If acceleration is perpendicular to velocity, then the object
is moving on a circular curve at constant speed.
