Refer to the diagram shown below.

Neglect wind resistance, and use g = 9.8 m/s².

The pole vaulter falls with an initial vertical velocity of u = 0.
If the velocity upon hitting the pad is v, then
v² = 2*(9.8 m/s²)*(4.2 m) = 82.32 (m/s)²
v = 9.037 m/s

The pole vaulter comes to res after the pad compresses by 50 cm (or 0.5 m).
If the average acceleration (actually deceleration) is (a m/s²), then
0 = (9.037 m/s)² + 2*(a m/s²)*(0.5 m)
a = - 82.32/(2*0.5) = - 82 m/s²

Answer: - 82 m/s² (or a deceleration of 82 m/s²)

The magnitude of his accelerations on the pad is 66.64 m/s²

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Acceleration is rate of change of velocity.

$\large {\boxed {a = \frac{v - u}{t} } }$

$\large {\boxed {d = \frac{v + u}{2}~t } }$

<em>a = acceleration ( m/s² )</em>

<em>v = final velocity ( m/s )</em>

<em>u = initial velocity ( m/s )</em>

<em>t = time taken ( s )</em>

<em>d = distance ( m )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem!

<u>Given:</u>

height of pole vaulter above the pad = H = 4.2 - 0.8 = 3.4 m

distance of compression of pad = d = 50 cm = 0.5 m

<u>Unknown:</u>

a = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

Firstly , we calculate the velocity of pole-vaulter before hitting the pad.

$v^2 = u^2 + 2gH$

$v^2 = 0^2 + 2 \times 9.8 \times 3.4$

$v^2 = 1666/25$

$v = \frac{7 \sqrt{34}}{5} ~ m/s$

Next , we can calculate the magnitude of his accelerations on the pad.

$v^2 = u^2 + 2gH$

$0^2 = 1666/25 + 2 \times a \times 0.5$

$a = -1666/25$

$\large {\boxed {a = -66.64 ~ m/s^2} }$

You have a resistor and a capacitor of unknown values. First, you charge the capacitor and discharge it through the resistor. By

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

The frequency is $f = 0.221 \ Hz$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The time taken for it to decay to half its original size is $t = 3.40 \ ms = 3.40 *10^{-3} \ s$

Let the voltage of the capacitor when it is fully charged be $V_o$

Then the voltage of the capacitor at time t is said to be $V = \frac{V_o}{2}$

Now this voltage can be mathematical represented as

$V = V_o * e ^{-\frac{t}{RC} }$

Where RC is the time constant

substituting values

$\frac{V_o}{2} = V_o * e ^{-\frac{3.40 *10^{-3}}{RC} }$

$0.5 = e^{-\frac{3.40 *10^{-3}}{RC} }$

$- \frac{0.5}{RC} = ln (0.5)$

$-\frac{0.5}{RC} = -0.6931$

$RC = 0.721$

Generally the cross-over frequency for a low pass filter is mathematically represented as

$f = \frac{1}{2 \pi * RC }$

substituting values

$f = \frac{1}{2* 3.142 * 0.72 }$

$f = 0.221 \ Hz$

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

428.59 N

Explanation:

Buoyant force, $B=Vg\rho$ where V is volume, g is gravitational constant and \rho is density

$B+F_{upward}=mg$ where $F_{upward}$ is upward force

$Vg\rho_{w}+F_{upward}=mg$

$F_{upward}=mg- Vg\rho_{w}$

$F_{upward}=g(mg- V\rho_{w})=g(m-m\frac {\rho_{w}{\rho_{hippo}}$ where $\rho_{hippo}$ is the density of hippo

$F_{upward}=mg(1-\frac {\rho_{w}}{\rho_{hippo}})$

Using g as 9.81

$F_{upward}=1500*9.81*(1-1000/1030)= 428.5922 N$

Therefore, the upward force=428.59 N

You must determine the length of a long, thin wire that is suspended from the ceiling in the atrium of a tall building. A 2.00-c

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let L be the length of the wire.

velocity of pulse wave v = L / 24.7 x 10⁻³ = 40.48 L m /s

mass per unit length of the wire m = 14.5 x 10⁻⁶ x 10⁻³ / 2 x 10⁻² kg / m

m = 7.25 x 10⁻⁷ kg / m

Tension in the wire = Mg , M is mass hanged from lower end.

= .4 x 9.8

= 3.92 N

expression for velocity of wave in the wire

$v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{m} }$ , T is tension in the wire , m is mass per unit length of wire .

40.48 L = $\sqrt{\frac{3.92}{7.25\times10^{-7}} }$

1638.63 L² = 3.92 / (7.25 x 10⁻⁷)

L² = 3.92 x 10⁷ / (7.25 x 1638.63 )

L² = 3299.64

L = 57.44 m /s

The diameters of bolts produced by a certain machine are normally distributed with a mean of 0.30 inches and a standard deviatio

enot [183]

Answer:

2.25 %

Explanation:

65-95-99.7 is a rule to remember the precentages that lies around the mean.

at the range of mean ( $\mu$ ) plus or minus one standard deviation ( $\sigma$ ), $P([\mu-\sigma \leq X \leq \mu+\sigma])\approx 68.3%$

at the range of mean plus or minus two standard deviation, $P([\mu -2\sigma \leq X \leq \mu+2\sigma])\approx 95.5%$

at the range of mean plus or minus three standard deviation, $P([\mu - 3\sigma\leq X \leq \mu+3\sigma])\approx 99.7%$

So, note that they are asking about the probability that it is greater than 0.32, that is the mean (0.3) plus two times the standard deviation (0.1) ( $P(X \leq \mu+2\sigma)$ )

So we know that the 95.5% is between $\mu - 2\sigma = 0.3 -2*0.1 = 0.28$ and $\mu + 2\sigma = 0.3 +2*0.1 = 0.32$ , hence approximately the 4.5% (100%-95.5%) is greater than 0.32 or less than 0.28. But half (4.5%/2=2.25%) is greater than 0.32 and the other half is less than 0.28.

So $P(X \leq \mu+2\sigma) \approx 2.25%$
