A fox fleeing from a hunter encounters a 0.700 m tall fence and attempts to jump it. By how much does the fox clear the fence? Treat the fox as a particle.

Question

The fox jumps with an initial velocity of 7.40 m/s at an angle of 45.0 º, beginning the jump 2.25 m from the fence.

Answer 1

The horizontal and vertical positions of the fox can be computed independently with time. Knowing how much time the fox moves horizontally will allow you to find how high it is at all time when it is in the air. Good luck!
