A Fleas can jump up a distance as large as 33 cm horizontally in a single leap (they are only 0.3 mm in size!). What is their launch velocity v if you assume they use the optimal launch angle

Launch velocity of the fleas = 1.80 m/s

Explanation:

Optimal launch angle is the angle that guarantees the maximum horizontal distance covered.

Optimum launch angle = 45°

The horizontal distance covered by a projectile is given as Range

R = (u² sin 2θ)/g

u = initial velocity of the projectile (flea) = ?

R = range = 33 cm = 0.33 m

θ = 45°

2θ = 2 × 45° = 90°

Sin 90° = 1

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

R = (u²/g)

u² = Rg = 0.33 × 9.8 = 3.234

u = 1.80 m/s

Hope this helps!!!

the only real purpose of sputnik 1 was to beat the us into space. we were getting close to launching a useful satellite, explorer 1 - which launched on january 31, 1958. the ussr had to beat that, so they launched sputnik 1 on october 4, 19

the answer is false. this is because for ice to melt, it requires latent heat of melting. latent heat means heat energy required to change phase without any increase in temperatures. therefore, the ice will take energy from the environment to melt hence atmospheric temperatures will reduce.
