Question

Chapter 02, Problem 024 Certain mushrooms launch their spores by a catapult mechanism. As water condenses from the air onto a spotre that is attached to the mushroom, a drop grows on one side of the spore and a film grows on the other side. The spore is bent over by the rop's weight, but when the film reaches the drop, the drop's water suddenly spreads into the film and the spore springs upward so rapidly that it is slung off into the air. Typically, the spore reaches a speed of 1.70 m/s in a 5.30 μ launch; its speed is then duced to zero in 1.30 mm by the air. Using that data and assuming constant accelerations, find the acceleration in terms of g during (a) the launch and (b) the speed reduction. Units a loraityh B (a) Number (b) Number Units g (gravity) By accessing this Question Assistance, you will learn while you earn points based on the Point Potential Policy set by your instructor Question Attempts: O of 10 used SAVE FOR LATER Earn Maximum Points available only if you o answer this question correctly in four attempts or less.
