Answer:

Before jumping from the plane, the skydiver has potential energy. When the skydiver jumps, the potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy, which increases until the skydiver reaches terminal velocity. Potential energy is then transformed into thermal energy.

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

0.3677181864 m

Explanation:

u = Velocity = 1.5 m/s

$\theta$ = Angle = 20°

y = -20 cm

Velocity components

$u_x=ucos\theta\\\Rightarrow u_x=1.5cos20\\\Rightarrow u_x=1.40953\ m/s$

$u_y=usin\theta\\\Rightarrow u_y=1.5sin20\\\Rightarrow u_y=0.51303\ m/s$

Acceleration components

$a_x=0$

$a_y=-9.81\ m/s^2$

$y=u_yt+\dfrac{1}{2}a_yt^2\\\Rightarrow -0.2=0.51303\times t+\dfrac{1}{2}\times -9.81t^2\\\Rightarrow 4.905t^2-0.51303t-0.2=0$

$t=\frac{-\left(-0.51303\right)+\sqrt{\left(-0.51303\right)^2-4\cdot \:4.905\left(-0.2\right)}}{2\cdot \:4.905}, \frac{-\left(-0.51303\right)-\sqrt{\left(-0.51303\right)^2-4\cdot \:4.905\left(-0.2\right)}}{2\cdot \:4.905}\\\Rightarrow t=0.26088, -0.15629$

Time taken is 0.26088 seconds

$x=u_xt+\dfrac{1}{2}a_xt^2\\\Rightarrow x=1.40953\times 0.26088\\\Rightarrow x=0.3677181864\ m$

The distance the beetle travels on the ground is 0.3677181864 m

What is the tangential velocity at the edge of a disk of radius 10cm when it spins with a frequency of 10Hz? Give your answer wi

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

630cm/s

Explanation:

In simple harmonic motion, the tangential velocity is expressed mathematically as v = ὦr

ὦ is the angular velocity = 2πf

r is the radius of the disk

f is the frequency

Given the radius of disk = 10cm

frequency = 10Hz

v = 2πfr

v = 2π×10×10

v = 200π

v = 628.32 cm/s

The tangential velocity = 630cm/s ( to 2 significant figures)

Floor lamps usually have a base with large inertia, while the long body and top have much less inertia. Part A If you want to sh

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

When a an object is been rotated its resistance capacity to that rotational force is know as rotational inertia and this mathematically given as

$I = mr^2$

Where m is the mass

r is the rotation radius

For the spinning of the lamp as a baton to work the location of the center of mass of the floor lamp needs to be located

This is more likely to be located closer to base of the lamp as compared to the top, so success of spinning a floor lamp like a baton is highly likely if the lamp is grabbed closer to the base because that is where the position of its center of mass is likely to be.

Inna Hurry is traveling at 6.8 m/s, when she realizes she is late for an appointment. She accelerates at 4.5 m/s^2 for 3.2 s. Wh

Alborosie

Answer:

1) v = 21.2 m/s

2) S = 63.33 m

3) s = 61.257 m

4) Deceleration, a = -4.32 m/s²

Explanation:

1) Given,

The initial velocity of Inna, u = 6.8 m/s

The acceleration of Inna, a = 4.5 m/s²

The time of travel, t = 3.2 s

Using the first equation of motion, the final velocity is

v = u + at

= 6.8 + 4.5 x 3.2

= 21.2 m/s

The final velocity of Inna is, v = 21.2 m/s

2) Given,

The initial velocity of Lisa, u = 12 m/s

The final velocity of Lisa, v = 26 m/s

The acceleration of Lisa, a = 4.2 m/s²

Using the III equations of motion, the displacement is

v² = u² +2aS

S = (v² - u²) / 2a

= (26² -12²) / 2 x 4.2

= 63.33 m

The distance Lisa traveled, S = 63.33 m

3) Given,

The initial velocity of Ed, u = 38.2 m/s

The deceleration of Ed, d = - 8.6 m/s²

The time of travel, t = 2.1 s

Using the II equations of motion, the displacement is

s = ut + 1/2 at²

=38.2 x 2.1 + 0.5 x(-8.6) x 2.1²

= 61.257 m

Therefore, the distance traveled by Ed, s = 61.257 m

4) Given,

The initial velocity of the car, u = 24.2 m/s

The final velocity of the car, v = 11.9 m/s

The time taken by the car is, t = 2.85 s

Using the first equations of motion,

v = u + at

∴ a = (v - u) / t

= (11.9 - 24.2) / 2.85

= -4.32 m/s²

Hence, the deceleration of the car, a = = -4.32 m/s²
