My horses are in at night and out during the dayI don't bother blanketing them unless it gets below 35We recently got a new boarder, and she wants me to put a heavy winter blanket on her horse at all timesI really don't think it's necessaryIt's going to be 40 degrees tonight, but the horse is young and has a nice winter coat on her.Plus, I heard that a blanket is just as a warm as going without one because the blanket actually flattens their fur and negates the quot;heatingquot; effect.Please include whether your horses are stabled at night or out 24/7

Initially it is at 6m above the groundIts initial speed is 5m/s upward For certain time it goes up till its speed becomes 0The time t [0- 5] / [-9.8] 0.5102 sThe height it goes up during this time of 0.5102 s is h 0.5 g t^2 1.28 mTotal height from the ground is 6 + 1.28 7.28 m-The height can be directly calculated using u^2 2 ah: 25 2 9.8 h h 1.28 m -Answer for a) 7.27 m -Time to fall through 7.28 m is t √ [2h] / g 1.2189 secondTotal time 0.5102 +1.22 1.77 second Answer for b) 1.729second -The velocity at the ground is v^2 2 9.8 7.27 v 11.94 m/s Answer for c) 11.94 m
