Yeah, it's wrong. All I need is the numbers, the m/s^2 is given. It said the answer is 138! Anyone know how they got that?

Here's what I got, and I submitted it and it's still wrong. Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong? The square of the max initial velocity Vo² = 2gh where h is 2.16 - .16 = 2.1 m. Vo² = 41.16 m²/s² To reach this speed in a jump of y meters, a = Vo²/(2y) = 41.16/(2*.16) a = 128.625...

Because I have no idea where to start, I keep trying to do it mathematically. Like, 100/11.3 and then adding or subtracting the 2.54 seconds. I also tried drawing it out in a graph. When I did that I found myself in the same place. Not enough information to finish anything! I know that the...

Homework Statement A bush baby, an African primate, is capable of leaping vertically to the remarkable height of 2.26 m. To jump this high, the bush baby accelerates over a distance of 0.160 m, while extending the legs. The acceleration during the jump is approximately constant. What is the...

This is probably very simple, but it's causing me problems. I keep coming up with VERY unrealistic times. Any help would be greatly appreciated! 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...
