The chemical characteristics of an atom are determined by its
a) atomic number
b) mass number
c) binding energy
d) number of isotopes

The power exerted by the mountain lion is 1,472.35 W.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of mountain, m₁ = 21 kg

mass of the cub, m₂ = 3 kg

height jumped by the mountain lion, h = 2 m

time taken for the mountain lion to jump, t = 1 s

Determine the weight of the lions on the top rock;

W = F = (m₁ + m₂)g

F = (21 + 3) x 9.8

F = (24) x 9.8

F = 235.2 N

Determine the final velocity of the mountain rock as it jumped to the top;

v² = u² + 2gh

where;

u is the initial velocity = 0

h is the height jumped = 2 m

v² = 0 + 2 x 9.8 x 2

v² = 39.2

v = √39.2

v = 6.26 m/s

The power exerted by the mountain lion is calculated as;

P = Fv

P = 235.2 x 6.26

P = 1,472.35 W

Therefore, the power exerted by the mountain lion is 1,472.35 W.
