It jumps at 35 degrees and the wall is 1.5m so tan35=1.5/x. It reaches its max height after the wall and lands on the 1.5m tall ledge.

Homework Statement A cat leaps over a 1.5m wall with a speed of 15m/s and at an angle of 35 degrees. The cat lands on the edge of a ledge that is 1.5m tall, how far is the ledge from the wall? Homework EquationsThe Attempt at a Solution I used the range equation to find the entire horizontal...

Projectile Analysis: Distance = 40m Angle = 45 degrees Velocity = 19.8m/s Can I use the projectile velocity to calculate centripetal acceleration? Other Given: Radius/length of arm: 40cm Pull back angle: 60 degrees Spring length: 15cm Mass of ball is 46g Time(ball): 2s What else can I...

Distance gets me a higher mark but if it breaks I won't get a mark at all lol.

Not really for the projectile since it's a standard golf ball but whatever optimizes the speed of the arm is a bonus. However the tighter my springs are the more often they pop off the circle screws and the tightness also dent my pivot arm (thin metal pole).

Would rotating the throwing arm (2cm by 4cm) to its side reduce air resistance due to the smaller surface area? (Imagine a palm vs karate chop scenario).

Lol idk, I'll try the question with vectors instead of vectors maybe.

Yeah I tried it again and I got 7.66m/s/s. I probably messed up in my substitutions somewhere along the way.

Is this how you would approach and solve this question?

Homework Statement Find the Acceleration of the system and the tensions in the three ropes. *If you can't see the picture there's a triangle (ABC), a train of four objects and three pulleys (one exactly at each corner). Side AC (hypotenuse) at the bottom, side AB to the left and side AC to the...
