haruspex said:Is the max vertical height that's given for a vertical jump? For a 45 degree jump? Something else?
haruspex said:Pls post the question as posed, word for word. You might be missing something in the interpretation.
haruspex said:Ok, I read that as meaning the height given is for a jump of max range. (It's not entirely clear, but I think that's a fair reading.)
Suppose the take-off speed is u. What would the max range be? What height would be reached?
haruspex said:You mentioned a 45 degree take-off. What made you suggest that?
haruspex said:On a level surface, yes. (It's different going up or down an incline.)
So assuming 45 degrees, and a take-off speed of u, what would the height and range be?
I know that. I wrote, let the take-off speed be u, an unknown. If the take-off angle is 45 degrees, what is the vertical component of speed at take-off (as a function of u)? What kinematic equations do you have relating distance, constant acceleration and initial and final speeds? Using that, what height would be reached (as a function of u)? Knowing the height the frog does reach, what value does that give you for u?bolskipolski said:I don't have any take-off speed.
No, that's the distance through which the frog was accelerating during its take-off. After you've worked out the take-off speed, you can use it in the following ways:the range could be the distance (0.086) ?
Acceleration is the rate of change of an object's velocity over time. It is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction.
Acceleration is calculated by dividing the change in velocity by the change in time. The formula for acceleration is a = (v2 - v1) / t, where a is acceleration, v2 is the final velocity, v1 is the initial velocity, and t is the time interval.
Maximum range is the farthest distance an object can travel in a given direction. In physics, it is often used to refer to the maximum distance a projectile can travel before hitting the ground.
The greater the acceleration, the greater the maximum range. This is because a higher acceleration allows the object to cover more distance in the same amount of time, resulting in a longer range.
Factors that can affect acceleration and maximum range include air resistance, the angle of launch, and initial velocity. Other factors such as mass, friction, and external forces can also impact these quantities.
