Answer:
The BMX lands 5.4 m from the end of the ramp.
Explanation:
Hi there!
The position of the BMX is given by the position vector "r":
r = (x0 + v0 · t · cos α, y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²)
Where:
r = position vector at time t
x0 = initial horizontal position
v0 = initial velocity
α = jumping angle
y0 = initial vertical position
g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive)
Please, see the attached graphic for a better understanding of the situation. At final time, when the bicycle reaches the ground, the vector position will be "r final" (see figure). The y-component of the vector "r final" is - 2.4 m (placing the origin of the frame of reference at the jumping point). With that information, we can use the equation of the y-component of the vector "r" (see above) to calculate the time of flight. With that time, we can then obtain the x-component (rx in the figure) of the vector "r final". Then:
y = y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²
-2.4 m = 0 m + 5.9 m/s · t · sin 40° - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²
0 = -4.9 m/s² · t² + 5.9 m/s · t · sin 40° + 2.4 m
Solving the quadratic equation:
t = 1.2 s
Now, we can calculate the x-component of the vector "r final" that is the horizontal distance traveled by the bicycle:
x = x0 + v0 · t · cos α
x = 0 m + 5.9 m/s · 1.2 s · cos 40°
x = 5.4 m
The BMX lands 5.4 m from the end of the ramp.
Have a nice day!
solution:
The time per lap was calculated by measuring the time for seven laps and dividing the total time by seven.
total time
It is given that the precision is of 0.1 s. it means it is correct upto 1 place beyond decimal.
So, the actual value could vary from 457.800 s to 457.899 s i.e. the time per lap could be 65.400 s to 65.414 s
It means measured time 65.414 s has maximum error of 0.021%. Hence, the measured value is quite precise.
