Question

Some cats can be trained to jump from one location to another and perform other tricks. Kit the cat is going to jump through a hoop. He begins on a wicker cabinet at a height of 1.779 m above the floor and jumps through the center of a vertical hoop, reaching a peak height 3.120 m above the floor. (Assume the center of the hoop is at the peak height of the jump. Assume that +x axis is in the direction of the hoop from the cabinet and +y axis is up. Assume g = 9.81 m/s2.) (a) With what initial velocity did Kit leave the cabinet if the hoop is at a horizontal distance of 1.566 m from the cabinet? (Express your answer in vector form. Give your answer to at least two decimal places for each vector component.) v0 = m/s (b) If Kit lands on a bed at a horizontal distance of 3.580 m from the cabinet, how high above the ground is the bed? 0.90 Correct: Your answer is correct. m
