A high-jumper clears the bar and has a downward velocity of - 5.00 m/s just before landing on an air mattress and bouncing up at

1.0 m/s. The mass of the high-jumper is 60.0 kg. What is the magnitude and direction of the impulse that the air mattress exerts on her

-- As she lands on the air mattress, her momentum is (m v)

Momentum = (60 kg) (5 m/s down) = 300 kg-m/s down

-- As she leaves it after the bounce,

Momentum = (60 kg) (1 m/s up) = 60 kg-m/s up

-- The impulse (change in momentum) is

Change = (60 kg-m/s up) - (300 kg-m/s down)

Magnitude of the change = <em>360 km-m/s </em>

The direction of the change is <em>up /\ </em>.

The temperature and pressure at the surface of Mars during a Martian spring day were determined to be -50 °C and 900 Pa, respect
Sidana [21]

Answer:

T = 273 + (-50) = 273 – 50 = 223 K

R = 188.82 J / kg K for CO2

Density (Martian Atmosphere) = P / RT = 900 / 188.92 x 223 = 900 / 42129.16 = 0.0213 kg / m^{3}

T = 273 +18 = 291 K, R = 287 J / kg k (for air) P = 101.6 k Pa = 101600 Pa

Density (Earth Atmosphere) = P / RT = 101600 / 287 x 291 = 1.216 kg / m^{3}

Use the momentum equation for photons found in this week's notes, the wavelength you found in #3, and Plank’s constant (6.63E-34
Nostrana [21]
To help you I need to assume a wavelength and then calculate the momentum.

The momentum equation for photons is:

p = h / λ , this is the division of Plank's constant by the wavelength.

Assuming λ = 656 nm = 656 * 10 ^ - 9 m, which is the wavelength calcuated in a previous problem, you get:

p = (6.63 * 10 ^-34 ) / (656 * 10 ^ -9) kg * m/s

p = 1.01067 * 10^ - 27 kg*m/s which  must be rounded to three significant figures.

With that, p = 1.01 * 10 ^ -27 kg*m/s

The answers are rounded to only 2 significan figures, so our number rounded to 2 significan figures is 1.0 * 10 ^ - 27 kg*m/s

So, assuming the wavelength λ = 656 nm, the answer is the first option: 1.0*10^-27 kg*m/s.

A 6.0 kg box slides down an inclined plane that makes an angle of 39° with the horizontal. If the coefficient of kinetic frictio
dlinn [17]

Answer:

a = 4.72 m/s²  

Explanation:

given,

mass of the box (m)= 6 Kg

angle of inclination (θ) = 39°

coefficient of kinetic friction (μ) = 0.19

magnitude of acceleration = ?

box is sliding downward so,

F - f = m a                        

f is the friction force

m g sinθ - μ N = ma                        

m g sinθ - μ m g cos θ = ma            

a = g sinθ - μ g cos θ                    

a = 9.8 x sin 39° - 0.19 x 9.8 x cos 39°

a = 4.72 m/s²                                      

the magnitude of acceleration of the box down the slope is a = 4.72 m/s²

Charge q1 is distance r from a positive point charge q. charge q2=q1/3 is distance 2r from q. what is the ratio u1/u2 of their p
makvit [3.9K]
We need the power law for the change in potential energy (due to the Coulomb force) in bringing a charge q from infinity to distance r from charge Q. We are only interested in the ratio U₁/U₂, so I'm not going to bother with constants (like the permittivity of space). 

<span>The potential energy of charge q is proportional to </span>
<span>∫[s=r to ∞] qQs⁻²ds = -qQs⁻¹|[s=r to ∞] = qQr⁻¹, </span>

<span>so if r₂ = 3r₁ and q₂ = q₁/4, then </span>
<span>U₁/U₂ = q₁Qr₂/(r₁q₂Q) = (q₁/q₂)(r₂/r₁) </span>
<span>= 4•3 = 12.</span>

A ship 1200m off shore fires a gun. how long after the gun is fired will it be heard on the shore?​
ryzh [129]

Answer:

We know that the speed of sound is 343 m/s in air

we are also given the distance of the boat from the shore

From the provided data, we can easily find the time taken by the sound to reach the shore using the second equation of motion

s = ut + 1/2 at²

since the acceleration of sound is 0:

s = ut + 1/2 (0)t²

s = ut    <em>(here, u is the speed of sound , s is the distance travelled and t is the time taken)</em>

Replacing the variables in the equation with the values we know

1200 = 343 * t

t = 1200 / 343

t = 3.5 seconds (approx)

Therefore, the sound of the gun will be heard at the shore, 3.5 seconds after being fired
