Air resistance is ignored.
g = 9.8 m/s².
At maximum height, the vertical velocity is zero.

Let h =  the maximum height reached.
Let u =  the vertical launch velocity.

Because ot takes 5.0 seconds to reach maximum height, therefore
(u m/s) - (9.8 m/s²)*(5 s) = 0 
u = 49 m/s

The maximum height reached is
h = (49 m/s)*(5 s) - (1/2)*(9.8 m/s²)*(5 s)²
   = 122.5 m

Answer: 122.5 m

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

A) 12.08 m/s

B) 19.39 m/s

Explanation:

A) Down the hill, we will apply Newton’s second law of motion in the downward direction to get:

mg(sinθ) – F_k = ma

Where; F_k is frictional force due to kinetic friction given by the formula;

F_k = (μ_k) × F_n

F_n is normal force given by mgcosθ

Thus;

F_k = μ_k(mg cosθ)

We now have;

mg(sinθ) – μ_k(mg cosθ) = ma

Dividing through by m to get;

g(sinθ) – μ_k(g cosθ) = a

a = 9.8(sin 12.03) - 0.6(9.8 × cos 12.03)

a = -3.71 m/s²

We are told that distance d = 24.0 m and v_o = 18 m/s

Using newton's 3rd equation of motion, we have;

v = √(v_o² + 2ad)

v = √(18² + (2 × -3.71 × 24))

v = 12.08 m/s

B) Now, μ_k = 0.10

Thus;

a = 9.8(sin 12.03) - 0.1(9.8 × cos 12.03)

a = 1.08 m/s²

Using newton's 3rd equation of motion, we have;

v = √(v_o + 2ad)

v = √(18² + (2 × 1.08 × 24))

v = 19.39 m/s

Amanda [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given mg = 4N .

m = 4 / g

At the bottom of the swing let centripetal acceleration be a

T - mg = ma

9 - 4 = ma

5 = 4 a  / g

a =  5g / 4

Determine the sign (+ or −) of the torque about the elbow caused by the biceps, τbiceps, the sign of the weight of the forearm,
Alex Ar [27]
Ans: 
1.  τbiceps = +(Positive)
2.  τforearm = -(Negative)
3.  τball = -(Negative)

Explanation:

The figure is attached down below.

1. T<span>orque about the elbow caused by the biceps, τbiceps:
Since Torque = r x F (where r and F are the vectors)
</span>Where r is the vector from elbow to the biceps.
<span>
We can see in the figure that F(biceps) is in upward direction, and by applying the right hand rule from r to F, we get the counterclockwise direction. The torque in counterclockwise direction is positive(+). Therefore, the sign would be +.

2. </span>Torque about the the weight of the forearm, τforearm:
Since Torque = r x F (where r and F are the vectors)
Where r is the vector from elbow to the forearm.

Also weight is the special kind of Force caused by the gravity.

We can see in the figure that W(forearm) is in downward direction, and by applying the right hand rule from r to F, we get the clockwise direction. The torque in clockwise direction is negative(-). Therefore, the sign would be -.

3. Torque about the the weight of the ball, τball:
Since Torque = r x F (where r and F are the vectors)
Where r is the vector from elbow to the ball.

Also weight is the special kind of Force caused by the gravity.

We can see in the figure that W(ball) is in downward direction, and by applying the right hand rule from r to F, we get the clockwise direction. The torque in clockwise direction is negative(-). Therefore, the sign would be -.

Conservation of linear momentum:

m*v inital = m*v final

0.06*0.7 + 0.03*0 = 0.06*(-0.2) + 0.03*v

(my algebra, or use ur calculator: 0.06*.07=0.042, etc ... or ur teacher may think you got some help)

0.06*(0.7+0.2)=0.03*v, v = 0.06*0.9/0.03=1.8 m/s

Answer 1.8 m/s (positive, to the right).
