In Ancient Greece, athletes competing in the long jump used handheld weights called halteres to lengthen their jumps. You are a

78 kg history major on the track and field team and decide to try this strategy. You jump at 10.3 m/s, 22.8 degrees above the horizontal. At the peak of your jump you throw two 5.5 kg masses horizontally behind you such that their velocity is zero in the ground's reference frame. What distance do the halteres add to the jump in m

The halter add the distance to the jump in meters is 0.55 m.

<h3>What is projectile?</h3>

When an object is thrown at an angle from the horizontal direction, the object is said to be in projectile motion. The object which follows the projectile motion is called the projectile.

The magnitude of velocity u =10.3 m/s, angle of jumping θ = 22.8 degrees.

Components of velocity in x and y direction are

Vx = 10.3 cos 22.8 = 9.5 m/s

Vy = 10.3 sin 22.8 = 4 m/s

Maximum Range of athlete achieved using halter is given by

R = u²sin2θ /g

where, u = initial velocity, θ is the angle of projection and g is the gravitational acceleration.

Substituting the values, we get

R = (10.3)² sin(2 x 22.8 °) / 2 x 9.81

R = 7.75m

At the peak of jump you throw two 5.5 kg masses horizontally behind you such that their velocity is zero in the ground's reference frame.

The momentum is conserved in this situation,

(M+2m)Vxo =MVx'

Vx' = (M+2m)/M x Vxo'

Change in x component of velocity ΔVx = Vx' -Vxo

Vxo = 2m/M x Vx

Vxo = 2 x 5.5 /78 x 9.5

Vxo = 1.34 s

Maximum height gained when final velocity is zero

Vy = 0 = Vyo -gt

time t = Vyo/g = 4/9.8 = 0.41s'

Increase in range by using of halters is

ΔR = ΔVx' x t

ΔR = 1.34 x 0.41

ΔR =0.55m

Thus, the halter add the distance to the jump in meters is 0.55 m.

A seesaw is 4.0m long with a pivot at its midpoint. A boy who weighs 400N sits at a distance of 1.5m from the pivot. His sister
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

the girl must sit 2 cm from the pivot at the opposite end of the seesaw.

Explanation:

Given;

length of the seesaw, L = 4.0 m

weight of the boy, W₁ = 400 N

position of the boy from the pivot, d₁ = 1.5 m

weight of her sister, W₂ = 300 N

First, make a sketch of this information given;

                 0---0.5m---------------------Δ--------------------------4m

                         ↓<--------1.5m-------> <---------x--------->↓

                        400 N                                          300N

Apply the principle of moment about the pivot, to determine the value of x;

Sum of anticlockwise moment = sum of clockwise moment

400(1.5) = 300(x)

600 = 300x

x = 600/300

x = 2 cm

Thus, the girl must sit 2 cm from the pivot at the opposite end of the seesaw.

How fast do differnt parts of the em spectrum travel in a vaccuum
Black_prince [1.1K]

All electromagnetic radiation ... all wavelengths, all frequencies ... has the
same speed, as long as you're measuring all through the same medium.

The speed is fastest in vacuum ... 299,792,458 meters per second.  It's
slower than that in any material, and different in every material.

An object is moving due north at 31m/s. Does this tell you the speed of the velocity of the object or both?
dsp73

Answer:

speed

Explanation:

its the speed

because the formula for deriving speed is distance/time

the unit for distance is metre

the unit for time is seconds

so speed is metre/seconds

so speed us m/s.
