The greatest height reported for a jump into an airbag is 99.4 m by stuntman Dan Koko. In 1948 he jumped from rest from the top

of the Vegas World Hotel and Casino. He struck the airbag at a speed of 39 m/s (88 mi/h). To assess the effects of air resistance, determine how fast he would have been traveling on impact had air resistance been absent.

Answer:

44.1613858478 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity = 0

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement = 99.4

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s² = a

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2as+u^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 99.4+0^2}\\\Rightarrow v=44.1613858478\ m/s

If air resistance was absent Dan Koko would strike the airbag at 44.1613858478 m/s

A uniform 40-N board supports two children weighing 500 N and 350 N. If the support is at the center of the board and the 500-N
serg [7]

Answer:

b= 2.14 m

Explanation:

Given that

Weight of the board ,wt = 40 N

Wight of the first children , wt₁=500 N

Weight of the second children ,wt₂ = 350 N

The distance of the 500 N child from center ,a= 1.5 m

lets take distance of the 350 N child from center = b m

Now by taking the moment about the center of the board

We know that moment = Force x Perpendicular distance from the force

wt₁ x a = wt₂ x b

500 x 1.5 = 350 x b

b= 2.14 m

Therefore the distance of the 350 N weight child from the center is 2.14 m.

A toy rocket is launched vertically from ground level (y = 0 m), at time t = 0.0 s. The rocket engine provides constant upward a
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

2.13 s

Explanation:

Hi!

At t = 0s the rocket is at rest in its platform, so the intial speed is zero. I f the acceleration is A, then the height Y, and the speed V are:

Y=\frac{A}{2}t^2

V=At

We nedd to find time T during  which the rocket engine provides upward acceleration. We know that:

64\;m=\frac{A}{2}T^2\\ 60\frac{m}{s} =AT\\

With these 2 equations we can find A and T (dropping units for simplicity):

A=\frac{60}{T} \\64 =\frac{30}{T} T^2=30T\\T=\frac{64}{30}\approx 2.13\;s

6–23 an automobile engine consumes fuel at a rate of 22 l/h and delivers 55 kw of power to the wheels. if the fuel has a heating
Anna007 [38]

Explanation & answer:

Given:

Fuel consumption, C = 22 L/h

Specific gravity = 0.8

output power, P  =  55 kW

heating value, H = 44,000 kJ/kg

Solution:

Calculate energy intake

E = C*P*H

= (22 L/h) / (3600 s/h) * (1000 mL/L) * (0.8 g/mL) * (44000 kJ/kg)

= (22/3600)*1000*0.8*44000 j/s

= 215111.1 j/s

Calculate output power

P = 55 kW

= 55000 j/s

Efficiency

= output / input

= P/E

=55000 / 215111.1

= 0.2557

= 25.6% to 1 decimal place.

A point charge with charge q1 is held stationary at the origin. A second point charge with charge q2 moves from the point (x1, 0
Scilla [17]

Answer:

W=kq_1q_2(\dfrac{1}{x_1}-\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{x_2^2+y_2^2}})

Explanation:

Position of charge q₁ is (0,0)

Position of charge q₂ is (x₁,0)

So, the electric potential energy between the charges is given by :

U_1=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{x_1}

Now the position of charge q₂ has been changes from (x₁,0) to (x₂,y₂). Now, electric potential energy between the charges is :

U_2=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{\sqrt{x_2^2+y_2^2}}

We know form the work energy theorem that, the change in potential energy is equal to the work done. Mathematically, it is given by :

W=-\Delta U

W=-(U_2-U_1)

W=(U_1-U_2)

W=(k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{x_1}-k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{\sqrt{x_2^2+y_2^2}})

W=kq_1q_2(\dfrac{1}{x_1}-\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{x_2^2+y_2^2}})

Hence, the work done by the electrostatic force on the moving point charge is kq_1q_2(\dfrac{1}{x_1}-\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{x_2^2+y_2^2}}). Hence, this is the required solution.
