Consider a grey squirrel falling from a tree to the ground. Use a coordinate system in which positive is downward for this problem. a) Find the squirrel’s velocity, in meters per second, just before hitting the ground when it falls from a height of 1.3 m. Ignore air resistance. b) The squirrel softens its landing by bending its legs when it touches the ground, thereby stopping itself over a distance of 7.6 cm. Assuming a constant rate of deceleration, find the squirrel’s acceleration during this process, in meters per second squared.
