The maximum energy a bone can absorb without breaking is surprisingly small. For a healthy human of mass 60kg, experimental data show that the leg bones can absorb about 200J (a) From what maximum height could a person jump and land rigidly upright on both feet without breaking his legs? Assume that all energy is absorbed in the leg bones in a rigid landing.(b) People jump from much greater heights than this; explain how this is possible.

The temperature at a point (x, y) is t(x, y), measured in degrees celsius. a bug crawls so that its position after t seconds is given by x = 6 + t , y = 8 + 1 3 t, where x and y are measured in centimeters. the temperature function satisfies tx(3, 9) = 5 and ty(3, 9) = 4. how fast is the temperature rising on the bug's path after 3 seconds? (round your answer to two decimal places.)
