A 12-kg dog jumps up in the air to catch a ball. The dog's center of mass is normally 0.20 m above the ground, and he is 0.50 m long. The lowest he can get his center of mass is 0.10 m above the ground, and the highest he can get it before he can no longer push against the ground is 0.30m. If the maximum force the dog can exert on the ground in pushing off is 2.1 times the gravitational force Earth exerts on him, how high can he jump?

    Given dа ta:

    mass of dog = 12 Kg

    dog's center of mass = 0.20m

    length of dog = 0.50m

    height of dog's jump = ?

    Solution:

    Work done of gravitational force = Gain in Potential energy

    2.1 * mgΔh = mg (h - 0.1)

    2.1 * (0.3 - 0.1) = (h - 0.1)

    h = 0.52 m
