A person who climbs up something (e.g., a hill, a ladder, the stairs) from the ground gains potential energy. a person's weight

(f = mg) is usually measured in pounds. for conversions, you may need to know that the weight of 1 pound is equal to 4.448 newtons. part a how many meters above the ground would a 240 lb person have to climb to gain 3 kilojoules (3000 joules) of potential energy?

We are given the following values:

weight w = 240 lb = 1,067.52 N

energy E = 3,000 J

 

The formula for potential energy is:

E = w h

where h is the height the person has to climb, therefore:

h = 3000 / 1067.52

<span>h = 2.81 m</span>

<span>
</span>

<span>Therefore he has to climb 2.81 meters</span>

An object is moving back and forth on the x-axis according to the equation x(t) = 3sin(20πt), t&gt; 0, where x(t) is measured in
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

a.) 10Hz

b.) 0.1 s

c.) 187.4 m/s

d.) -412.6 m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that an object is moving back and forth on the x-axis according to the equation x(t) = 3sin(20πt), t> 0, where x(t) is measured in cm and t in seconds. Give decimal answers below.

(a) How many complete back-and-forth motions (from the origin to the right, back to the origin, to the left and finally back to the origin) does the object make in one second?

from the equation given,  the angular speed w = 20π

but w = 2πf

where f = frequency.

substitute w for 20π

20π = 2πf

f = 20π/2π

f = 10 Hz

(b) What is t the first time that the object is at its farthest right?

since F = 1/T

T = 1 / f

T = 1/10

T = 0.1 s

Therefore, the t of  first time that the object is at its farthest right is 0.1 s

(c) At the time found in part (b), what is the object's velocity?

The velocity can be found by differentiating the equation;

x(t) = 3sin(20πt)

dx/dt = 60πcos(20πt)

where dx/dt  = velocity V

V = 60πcos(20π * 0.1)

V = 187.4 m/s

(d) At the time found in part (b), what is the object's acceleration?

to get the acceleration, differentiate equation  V = 60πcos(20πt)

dv/dt = -1200πSin(20πt)

dv/dt = acceleration a

a = -1200πSin(20πt)

substitute t into the equation

a = -1200πSin(20π * 0.1)

a = - 412.6 m/s^2

g A projectile is launched with speed v0 from point A. Determine the launch angle ! which results in the maximum range R up the
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

The range is maximum when the angle of projection is 45 degree.

Explanation:

The formula for the horizontal range of the projectile is given by

R = \frac{u^{2}Sin2\theta }{g}

The range should be maximum if the value of Sin2θ is maximum.

The maximum value of Sin2θ is 1.

It means 2θ = 90

θ = 45

Thus, the range is maximum when the angle of projection is 45 degree.

If the angle of projection is 0 degree

R = 0

It means the horizontal distance covered by the projectile is zero, it can move in vertical direction.

If the angle of projection is 30 degree.

R = \frac{u^{2}Sin60 }{9.8}

R = 0.088u^2

If the angle of projection is 45 degree.

R = \frac{u^{2}Sin90 }{g}

R = u^2 / g

A car drives around a racetrack for 30 seconds. what do you need to know to calculate the average velocity of the car?
boyakko [2]
The time is given, and you want to find the average velocity. To do this, you need to know the distance covered by the driver around the racetrack in that 30 seconds. You divide this by the time, then you will obtain the average velocity in units of, say meters per second.
