A 21 kg mountain lion carries a 3kg cub in it's mouth as it jumps from rest on the ground to the top of a 2 m talk rock. It takes 1 seconds for the mountain lion to jump and reach the top. How much power did the mountain lion exert? I need help to solve for power

The power exerted by the mountain lion is 1,472.35 W.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of mountain, m₁ = 21 kg

mass of the cub, m₂ = 3 kg

height jumped by the mountain lion, h = 2 m

time taken for the mountain lion to jump, t = 1 s

Determine the weight of the lions on the top rock;

W = F = (m₁ + m₂)g

F = (21 + 3) x 9.8

F = (24) x 9.8

F = 235.2 N

Determine the final velocity of the mountain rock as it jumped to the top;

v² = u² + 2gh

where;

u is the initial velocity = 0

h is the height jumped = 2 m

v² = 0 + 2 x 9.8 x 2

v² = 39.2

v = √39.2

v = 6.26 m/s

The power exerted by the mountain lion is calculated as;

P = Fv

P = 235.2 x 6.26

P = 1,472.35 W

Therefore, the power exerted by the mountain lion is 1,472.35 W.

it would be c. predictability
