need physics help with a question about a big Jumping Cat
Construct an argument based upon the video shown (video shows a large predatory cat jumping 10 feet in the air
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ykGr4QPlvtY).
Answer should include:
1) how fast must the cat launch to achieve the jump shown?
2) how is the cat able to achieve this jump? Be sure to cite energy/power concepts as appropriate.
The final equation
Here’s the final equation to calculate distance traveled using the variables we’ve already calculated:
D (distance) = (.5) * a (acceleration) * t (time)2 + V0 (initial velocity) * t time
