Unreasonable results A dolphin in an aquatic show jumps straight up out of the water at a velocity of 15.0 m/s. (a) List the knowns in this problem. (b) How high does his body rise above the water? To solve this part, first note that the final velocity is now a known, and identify its value. Then, identify the unknown and discuss how you chose the appropriate equation to solve for ft. After choosing the equation, show your steps in solving for the unknown, checking units, and discuss whether the answer is reasonable. (c) How long a time is the dolphin in the air? Neglect any effects resulting from his size or orientation.

- A student begins rest and then walks North at speed of v1= 0.75 m/s. The student the. Turns south and walks at a speed of v2= 0.44 m/s. Take North to be the positive direction. Refer to the figure. What is the students overall average velocity vavg in meters per second, for the trip assuming the student spent equal times at speeds v1 and v2? If the student travels to the state it directions for 30.0 seconds and speed v1 and for 20.0 seconds at speed v2, what is the net displacement in meters during the trip? If it takes students students 5.0 s to reach the speed v1 from rest, what is the magnitude of the students average acceleration, and meters per second squared, during the time?arrow_forwardUse the worked example above to help you solve this problem.
