Complete question is;

A ski jumper travels down a slope and leaves the ski track moving in the horizontal direction with a speed of 24 m/s. The landing incline below her falls off with a slope of θ = 59◦ . The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².

What is the magnitude of the relative angle φ with which the ski jumper hits the slope? Answer in units of ◦

Answer:

14.08°

Explanation:

The time covered will be given by the formula;

t = (2V_x•tan θ)/g

t = (2 × 24 × tan 59)/9.8

t = 8.152 s

Now, the slope of the flight path at the point of impact will be given by the formula;

tan α = V_y/V_x

We are given V_x = 24 m/s

V_y will be gotten from the formula;

v = gt

Thus;

V_y = gt

V_y = 9.8 × (8.152) = 78.89 m/s

Thus;

tan α = 78.89/24

tan α = 3.2871

α = tan^(-1) 3.2871

α = 73.08°

Thus ;

Relative angle φ = α - θ = 73.08 - 59 = 14.08°

The drawing shows three particles far away from any other objects and located on a straight line. The masses of these particles

belka [17]

Answer:

$F_a=5.67\times 10^{-5}\ N$

$F_b=3.49\times 10^{-5}\ N$

$F_c=9.16\times 10^{-5}\ N$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of particle A, $m_a=363\ kg$

mass of particle B, $m_b=517\ kg$

mass of particle C, $m_c=154\ kg$

All the three particles lie on a straight line.

Distance between particle A and B, $x_{ab}=0.5\ m$

Distance between particle B and C, $x_{bc}=0.25\ m$

Since the gravitational force is attractive in nature it will add up when enacted from the same direction.

Force on particle A due to particles B & C:

$F_a=G. \frac{m_a.m_b}{x_{ab}^2} +G. \frac{m_a.m_c}{(x_{ab}+x_{bc})^2}$

$F_a=6.67\times 10^{-11}\times (\frac{363\times 517}{0.5^2}+\frac{363\times 154}{(0.5+0.25)^2})$

$F_a=5.67\times 10^{-5}\ N$

Force on particle C due to particles B & A:

$F_c=G.\frac{m_c.m_b}{x_{bc}^2} +G.\frac{m_c.m_a}{(x_{ab}+x_{bc})^2}$

$F_c=6.67\times 10^{-11}\times (\frac{154\times 517}{0.25^2}+\frac{154\times 363}{(0.25+0.5)^2} )$

$F_c=9.16\times 10^{-5}\ N$

Force on particle B due to particles C & A:

$F_b=G.\frac{m_b.m_c}{x_{bc}^2} -G.\frac{m_b.m_a}{x_{ab}^2}$

$F_b=6.67\times 10^{-11}\times (\frac{517\times 154}{0.25^2}-\frac{517\times 363}{0.5^2} )$

$F_b=3.49\times 10^{-5}\ N$

Light from a lamp is shining on a surface. how can you increase the intensity of the light on the surface?

vlada-n [284]

The intensity of a light in a surface follows the inverse square law formula which can be mathematically expressed as,
I = k/d²
where I is intensity, d is distance, and k is the proportionality constant. For us to increase the intensity, we should lower the distance from the source to the surface.

A box rests on the (horizontal) back of a truck. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the surface on which it

vredina [299]

Answer:

The distance is 11 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Friction coefficient = 0.24

Time = 3.0 s

Initial velocity = 0

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using newton's second law

$F = ma$ ...(I)

Using formula of friction force

$F= \mu m g$ ....(II)

Put the value of F in the equation (II) from equation (I)

$ma=\mu mg$ ....(III)

$a = \mu g$

Put the value in the equation (III)

$a=0.24\times9.8$

$a=2.352\ m/s^2$

We need to calculate the distance,

Using equation of motion

$s = ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

$s=0+\dfrac{1}{2}2.352\times(3.0)^2$

$s=10.584\ m\ approx\ 11\ m$

Hence, The distance is 11 m.

Small frogs that are good jumpers are capable of remarkable accelerations. One species reaches a takeoff speed of3.7 m/s in60 ms

MAVERICK [17]

We know that acceleration is change in velocity by time taken for that change.

In this case velocity change is 3.7 m/s

Time taken for this change = 60 ms = $6 *10^{-3} seconds$

So acceleration of frog = $\frac{3.7}{60*10^{-3}}$

= 61.66 m/ $s^2$

So acceleration of frog is 61.66 m/ $s^2$

o it is evident that frog is capable of remarkable accelerations.

Which method should be used to determine which type of natural event produces the greatest number of sand dunes?

jeka94

Answer:

Stabilizing dunes involves multiple actions. Planting vegetation reduces the impact of wind and water. Wooden sand fences can help retain sand and other material needed for a healthy sand dune ecosystem. Footpaths protect dunes from damage from foot traffic.
