Ferns that eject spores generally do so in pairs, with two spores flying off in opposite directions. The structure from which the spores are launched is quite lightweight. If it takes a certain amount of energy to eject each spore, explain how launching the spores in pairs provides for the greatest initial launch speed for each spore.
A 60.0 kg skier with an initial speed of 15 m/s coasts up a 2.50 m high rise as shown in the figure.Find her final speed right at the top, in meters per second, given that the coefficient of friction between her skis and the snow is 0.35.
A trap-jaw ant snaps its mandibles shut at very high speed, a good trait for catching small prey. But an ant can also slam its mandibles into the ground; the resulting force can launch the ant into the air for a quick escape. A 12 mgmg ant hits the ground with an average force of 47 mNmN for a time of 0.13 msms; these are all typical values.
