The best leaper in the animal kingdom is the puma, which can jump to a height of 3.7 m when leaving with the ground an angle of 450. If the animal leaves the ground at 12.0 m/s, how far the animal lands from the point of leaving the ground?

The best leaper in the animal kingdom is the puma, which can jump to a height of 3.7 m when leaving with the ground an angle of 450. If the animal leaves the ground at 12.0 m/s, how far the animal lands from the point of leaving the ground?
Expert Solution
Step 1
The range of the projectile is the displacement moved in the horizontal direction.
R = (u2 × sin2θ)/g
where,
R = Range
u = initial velocity
g = 9.8 m/s2
