When chasing a hare along a flat stretch of ground, a greyhound leaps into the air at a speed of 10.1 m/s, at an angle of 16.9° above the horizontal. (a) what is the range of his leap? (b) for how much time is he in the air?

a) The range of the leap is 5.80 m.

b) The time that the greyhound is in the air is 0.600 s

Explanation:

The position of the greyhound is given by the position vector "r":

r =(x0 + v0 · t · cos α, y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²)

Where:

r = position vector at time "t".

x0 = initial horizontal position.

v0 = initial horizontal velocity.

y0 = initial vertical position

t = time.

α = leap angle.

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive).

a) At the end of the leap, the position vector will be "r final" (see figure). The vector r final could be written as:

r final = (x, 0 m)

Where "x" is the range.

Then, using the equation for the vertical position we can obtain the time of flight of the leap. With that time, we can calculate the range using the equation for the horizontal position.

Then:

y = y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²

0 m = 0 m + 10.1 m/s · t · sin 16.9° - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

0 m = t (10.1 m/s · sin 16.9° - 4.9  m/s² · t)

0 m = 10.1 m/s · sin 16.9° - 4.9  m/s² · t

- 10.1 m/s · sin 16.9° / - 4.9  m/s²  = t

t = 0.600 s

The x-component of the vector "r final" will be:

x = x0 + v0 · t · cos α

x = 0 m + 10.1 m/s · 0.600 s · cos 16.9°

x = 5.80 m

The range of the leap is 5.80 m.

b) The time that the greyhound is in the air is 0.600 s. It was calculated above using the equation for the y-component of the vector "r final".

temp rises, and expansion

as we probably am aware that our atmosphere or air have various levels, each level has different gasses, and each gas has another porousness. at the point when the light originates from lower porousness to higher penetrability, it alters its course. with the goal that implies that when the light originates from the moon to the earth, it alters it's course a lot more occasions. it essentially implies that the state of the light piece of the moon is changed on the earth.

not copied too! hope this !

h o h o hope you have a merry christmas!
