Kit the cat is going to jump through a hoop. He begins on a wicker cabinet at a height of 1.745 m above the floor and jumps through the center of a vertical hoop, reaching a peak height 3.115 m above the floor.
With what initial velocity did Kit leave the cabinet if the...
Ah, my mistake. I redid it and got 68.67. I just checked and it is correct! Thank you! I will be able to solve for the angle :)
I must have been too sloppy with the numbers, I realized my calculator was still keeping the negative number even while being squared, messing everything up.
Thanks again!
Hi, as you can see I tried that. It did not work :( Do I sum both the x-coordinates? I had 31cos45 - 87 since they are on opposite sides of the coordinate grid.
Ok, when I was initially taught this I was told to make a chart in both the x and y with what you know and do not know.
The setup would be something like this:
______ X _____ Y
a =
vi =
d =
t =
From there try to solve for maybe t using the y-variables (since you don't have that...
Here is the problem:
I am sure I can use pythagorean theorem of quadratic equation to solve but to be honest I'm blanking ridiculously.
I have tried setting it on a coordinate grid and finding the resultant, but I have had no luck! I know I've done this problem before in high school but I'm...
