Conserving energy,
1/2 * m * v2 = 1/2 * m * v2 + m*g*h
or, 1/2 * 3. 9* 3.9 = 1/2 * v^2 + 9.81 * 0.23
Hence, v = 3.27 m/s = 327 cm/s
Lets supose that the ant jumps verticaly then, the vertical velocity variates with the height as:
,
substituting the values:
The answer is d.
Adam Ant gets a running start and leaps with speed 390 cm/s and lands on top...
The Incredible Hulk, chased by the army, leaps with speed 16 m/s at a 53° angle above the horizontal from the top of a building. If he lands 52_m from the base of the building, then find the height of the building.
A tiger leaps horizontally out of a tree that is 3.40 m high. If he lands 5.20 m from the base of the tree, calculate his initial speed vo. (Neglect any effects due to air resistance.) o2.2 m/s
An 87-kg running back leaps straight ahead toward the end zone with a speed of 6.2 m/s. A 115-kg linebacker, keeping his feet on the ground, catches the running back and applies a force of 818 N in the opposite direction for 0.71 s before the running back's feet touch the ground. (a) What is the impulse that the linebacker imparts to the running back? magnitude_____ direction______(in the direction of the running back's initial motion or in the direction of...
15. A man is running to cateh a bus at his top speed of 6 m/s. The man is 25 m behind the b starts to move forward with an acceleration of 1 m/s e man catch the bus? If yes, then fiud out when and where it happens. If no, then determine how w an accurate position-versus-time graph of this scenario for both the man and the bus on the same (c) Repeat Parts (a) and (b) assuming that...
1. A boy takes a running jump off the high-dive board at the local pool. His speed as he leaves the board is 3.0 m/s and the board is 5.0 m above the water. What is his speed just before he hits the water? please include an energy chart 2. A roller-coaster car rolls over the crest of 18 m high hill at a speed of 3.2 m/s. The car then rolls down the track to the bottom of the...
One simple model for a person running the 100 m dash is to assume the sprinter runs with constant acceleration until reaching top speed, then maintains that speed through the finish line. If a sprinter reaches his top speed of 10.8 m/s in 2.54 s, what will be his total time?
What Distance b does he travel through the air? The boy takes a running start at position 1 going 17 ft/s. He leaves the ground at position 2 and lands in deep snow. What travel through the air?
A running 61-kg cheetah has a top speed of 28 m/s. (a) What is the cheetah's maximum kinetic energy? J (b) Find the cheetah's speed when its kinetic energy is one half of the value found in part (a). m/s
A student is running at her top speed of 5.4m/s to catch a bus, which is stopped at the bus stop. When the student is still a distance 39.9m from the bus, it starts to pull away, moving with a constant acceleration of 0.174m/s2 . how much time does the student have to run at 5.4m/s before she overtakes the bus? what distance does the student have to run at 5.4m/s before she overtakes the bus? When she eaches the...
A sprinter is running at a speed of 9.30 m/s, then accelerates at a constant rate of 1.37 m/s2 for the last 9.70 m of the race. What is his final speed as he crosses the finish line?
