The graph below shows the speed v of the second cart as a function of time t for the next 5.0 s, where t = 0 is now the instant at which the carts separate. a) Calculate the acceleration of the cart at t = 3.0 s. b) State whether the ramp goes up or down and calculate the maximum elevation (above or below the initial height) reached by the second cart on the ramp during the 5.0 s interval after the collision.

When the kangaroo is in the air, the Earth-kangaroo system has a combination of gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy. When the kangaroo lands, its Achilles tendons and the attached muscles stretch-a form of elastic potential energy. This elastic potential energy is used along with additional muscle tension to launch the kangaroo off the ground for the next hop. In the red kangaroo, more than 50% of the total energy used during each hop is recovered elastic potential energy. This is so efficient that the kangaroo's metabolic rate actually decreases slightly as its hopping speed increases from 8 km/h to 25 km/h.
