Paola can flex her legs from a bent position through a distance of 20.1 cm. Paola leaves the ground when her legs are straight,
at a speed of 4.00 m/s.
Calculate the magnitude ay of her acceleration, assuming that it is constant.

Answer:

Magnitude of Paula’s acceleration[tex]$a=39 \cdot 8m/sec^{2}$.[/tex]

Explanation:

• An object is said to be accelerated if there is a change in its velocity. At any point on a trajectory, the magnitude of the acceleration is given by the rate of change of velocity in both magnitude and direction at that point.

• To find the magnitude of her acceleration, use the formula:                               [tex]${v^2} = {u^2} + 2as$[/tex]

Where, is final velocity, is initial velocity, is acceleration and is displacement.

• Placing the value of the given initial velocity, [tex]$u=0m/s$[/tex], displacement, [tex]$s = 0 \cdot 201m$[/tex] and the final velocity,[tex]$v = 4m/s$[/tex] in the above formula.

[tex]\[\begin{align}& \therefore{v^2} = {u^2} + 2as \\& \Rightarrow {\left( 4 \right)^2} = 0+ 2\left( a \right) \left( { 0 \cdot 201} \right) \\& \Rightarrow 16 = 0 \cdot 402a \\& \Rightarrow a = 39 \cdot 8m/sec^{2} \\\end{align}\][/tex]

[tex]\[& \therefore{v^2} = {u^2} + 2as \\& \Rightarrow {\left( 4 \right)^2} = 0+ 2\left( a \right) \left( { 0 \cdot 201} \right) \\& \Rightarrow 16 = 0 \cdot 402a \\& \Rightarrow a = 39 \cdot 8m/sec^{2} \\\][/tex]

• Hence, magnitude of her acceleration, [tex]$a=39 \cdot 8m/sec^2$[/tex]

The third equation of free fall can be applied to determine the acceleration. So that Paola's acceleration during the flight is 39.80 m/[tex]s^{2}[/tex].

Acceleration is a quantity that has a direct relationship with velocity and also inversely proportional to the time taken. It is a vector quantity.

To determine Paola's acceleration, the third equation of free fall is appropriate.

i.e [tex]V^{2}[/tex] = [tex]U^{2}[/tex] ± 2as

where: V is the final velocity, U is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, and s is the distance covered.

From the given question, s = 20.1 cm (0.201 m), U = 4.0 m/s, V = 0.

So that since Poala flies against gravity, then we have:

[tex]V^{2}[/tex] = [tex]U^{2}[/tex] - 2as

0 = [tex](4)^{2}[/tex] - 2(a x 0.201)

  = 16 - 0.402a

0.402a = 16

a = [tex]\frac{16}{0.402}[/tex]

  = 39.801

a = 39.80 m/[tex]s^{2}[/tex]

Therefore Paola's acceleration is 39.80 m/[tex]s^{2}[/tex].
