Akangaroo jumps straight up to a vertical height of 1.66 m. how long was it in the air before returning to earth? express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units

The kangaroo was 1.164s in the air before returning to Earth

Explanation:

For this we are going to use the equation of distance for an uniformly accelerated movement, that is:

Where:

x = Final distance

xo = Initial point

Vo = Initial velocity

a = Acceleration

t = time

We have the following values:

x = 1.66m      

xo = 0m (the kangaroo starts from the floor)

Vo = 0 m/s (each jump starts from the floor and from a resting position)

a = 9.8 m/s^2 (the acceleration is the one generated by the gravity of earth)

t =This is just the time it takes to the kangaoo reach the 1.66m, we don't know the value.

Now replace the values in the equation

It takes to the kangaroo 0.582s to go up and the same time to go down then the total time it is in the air before returning to earth is

t = 0.582s + 0.582s

t = 1.164s

The kangaroo was 1.164s in the air before returning to Earth

r = ρ x length / area  

ρ = r x area / length  

ρ is in ohm-meters  

in basic units, it is m³kg/s³a²  

i think this is it.
