A dog has a mass of m = 25kg. when he jumps, his muscles are able to produce 450 J of energy. Suppose the dog jumps horizontally from a very massive boat (so massive that it will not move) as fast as he can from a height of h = meter.
a)What velocity (Vo) will the dog have once he jumps?
b)If this boat is floating 2.5 meters away from a Frisbee in the water, will the dog be able to jump on top of it?
c)The dog now jumps horizontally from a lighter canoe (mass = 25kg) also from a height of h = 1. Determine the velocity of the dog and canoe after he jumps.
d)If the canoe is floating 2.5 meters away from the same Frisbee, and the dog is again jumping from a height of h = 1 meters, will the dog be able to jump on top of the Frisbee?
