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

What is the y component of a vector defined as 12.2m at 81.5°?
sergejj [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is a displacement vector since it is defined in terms of distance (meters, to be exact). The way you find the y-component is

V_y=Vsin\theta which says that you multiply the magnitude of the vector (its length) by the sin of the direction (the angle):

V_y=12.2sin(81.5) and get

V_y=12.1 m

A plane took 7 hours to travel 2020 km. For the first 4 hours,
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

-6.6 km/h

Explanation:

In 7hr plane travelled 2020km;

For the first 4hr the average speed was 310km/h;

d=st, s=d/t;

Distance covered in first 4h is d = 310km/h×4h = 1240km;

To determine the y-component of a projectile’s velocity, what operation is performed on the angle of the launch?
koban [17]

<em>To determine the y component of velocity of a projectile </em><u><em>sine </em></u><em>operation is performed on the angle of launch.</em>

<u>Answer:</u> <em>sine</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Thus a_x=0,a_y=g

The initial velocity u can be resolved along two directions.

Along the X direction initial velocity = u cos θ

Along y direction initial velocity= u sin θ

From the equation of motion v= u+at

Thus velocity along x direction v_x=u cos θ

Velocity along y direction v_y= u sinθ -gt

Sign of g is negative.

What is the maximum value the string tension can have before the can slips? The coefficient of static friction between the can a
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

T= 38.38 N

Explanation:

Here

mass of can = m = 3 kg

g= 9.8 m/sec2

angle θ = 40°

From figure we see the vertical and horizontal component of tension force T

If the can is to slip - then horizontal component of tension force should become equal to force of friction.

First we find force of friction

Fs= μ R

where

μ = 0.76

R = weight of can = mg = 3 × 9.8 = 29.4 N

Now horizontal component of tension

Tx= T cos 40 = T× 0.7660  N

==>T× 0.7660 = 29.4

==> T= 38.38 N

A 202 kg bumper car moving right at 8.50 m/s collides with a 355 kg car at rest. Afterwards, the 355 kg car moves right at 5.80
Sidana [21]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of bumper car, m₁ = 202 kg

Initial speed of the bumper car, u₁ = 8.5 m/s

Mass of the other car, m₂ = 355 kg

Initial velocity of the other car is 0 as it at rest, u₂ = 0

Final velocity of the other car after collision, v₂ = 5.8 m/s

Let p₁ is momentum of of 202 kg car, p₁ = m₁v₁

Using the conservation of linear momentum as :

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2

202\ kg\times 8.5\ m/s+355\ kg\times 0=m_1v_1+355\ kg\times 5.8\ m/s

p₁ = m₁v₁ = -342 kg-m/s

So, the momentum of the 202 kg car afterwards is 342 kg-m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
