Steelhead trout migrate upriver to spawn. Occasionally they need to leap up small waterfalls to continue their journey. Fortunately, steelhead are remarkable jumpers, capable of leaving the water at a speed of 8.0 m/s. a) What is the maximum height that a steelhead can jump?b) Leaving the water vertically at 8.0 m/s, a steelhead lands on the top of a waterfall 1.8 m high. How long is it in the air?

Very large accelerations can injure the body, especially if they last for a considerable length of time. one model used to gauge the likelihood of injury is the severity index ( ), defined as =/ . in the expression, is the duration of the accleration, but is not equal to the acceleration. rather, is a dimensionless constant that = the number of multiples of that the acceleration is equal to.in one set of studies of rear-end collisions, a person's velocity increases by 13.7 km/h with an acceleration of 36.0 m/s2 . let the + direction point in the direction the car is traveling. what is the severity index for the collision?

Apulley system is used to lift a 2,000 newton engine up a distance of 3 meters. the operator must apply a force of 250 newtons to the chain of the pulley system to lift the motor. to lift the engine 3 meters, the operator must pull a total of 30 meters of chain through the pulley system. what is the value of di?

Consider a system with two masses that are moving away from each other. why will the kinetic energy differ if the frame of reference is a stationary observer or one of the masses?
