A puma leaps from one cliff ledge to another, the second ledge leapt to is 0.7m higher than the first, as well as 2.4m further along the cliff. (10)

1) Calculate the velocity with which the puma must take off in order to barely reach the second ledge.

2) If the puma weighs 50kg, calculate the impulse that the puma exerts on the first ledge in order to make this jump.

3) If the maximum force exerted by any one of the puma legs is 60N, calculate the minimum time which the puma's feet must spend in contact with the first ledge.

A mirror faces a cliff located some distance away. Mounted on the cliff is a second mirror, directly opposite the first mirror a distance 1,772.35 away and facing toward it. A gun is fired very close to the first mirror. The temperature on the day is 26.88 oC. How many times does the muzzle flash of the gun travel the round trip distance between the mirrors before the echo of the the gunshot is heard?

Tarzan jumps from a cliff and grabs a vine. He jumps horizontally from the cliff with initial velocity v0 at the time t0. The vine has mass M and length L. Initially, the vine is hanging straight down and is attached at its highest point, O. After the “collision” Tarzan remains attached to the vine with his center of mass at the lower edge of the vine. Tarzan’s mass is m. The vine behaves as a rod attached without friction...

A rock is dropped from the top of a tall tower. Half a second later another rock, twice as massive as the first, is dropped. Ignoring air resistance, they strike the ground with the same kinetic energy they strike the ground more than half a second apart. the distance between the rocks increases while both are falling. the acceleration is greater for the more massive rock.

A bacterial cell that transits from a reservoir or from one host to another, is likely to encounter a range of non-optimal conditions in its new environment. For example, it may be exposed to damaging or toxic physical and chemical conditions. It will need to adapt if it is to survive. Outline what these physical and chemical properties are and give examples of how bacteria adapt to survive in these conditions.
