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.

If the forces acting on an object are balanced, wihat must be true about the motion of this object?
wolverine [178]

The correct answer to the question is : D) Be moving at a constant velocity.

EXPLANATION:

As per Newton's first laws of motion, every body continues to be  at state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line unless and until it is compelled by some external unbalanced forces acting on it.

Hence, it is the unbalanced force which changes the state of rest or motion of a body. Balanced force is responsible for keeping the body to be either in static equilibrium or in dynamic equilibrium.

As per the options given in the question, the last one is true for an object under balanced forces.

Suppose for your cookout you need to make 100 hamburgers. You know that 2.00 pounds will make 9 hamburgers. How many pounds will
VMariaS [17]
2 pounds = 9 burgers figure out ow many 9's you can get out of 100: 100/9=11 but that only makes 99 you need 100 so we would add another one making 12. now multiply 12 by 2: 12·2=24. You would need 24 pounds of meet :)

By increasing the circuits resistance R, in a capacitive circuit the phase difference between the current in the circuit and pot
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

B) Gets smaller

Explanation:

The difference of phase between current and voltage in a AC circuit is the phase  angle and it depends on the value of Z ( circuit impedance)

Z = R + X   where R is the resistive component and X the reactance component, which is due either to a presence of an  inductor or a capacitor. In any case the total impedance depends on R the resistive, and the phase angle φ is:  

tan⁻¹ φ =  X/R

Have a look to a pure capactive circuit (we are talking about AC current) in this case current leads voltage by 90⁰. If we add a resistor in the circuit  the current still will lead a voltage but in this condition the phase angle will be smaller,

If  R increase, X/R  decrease and tan⁻¹ φ also decrease

What type of energy is formed when an object encounters friction?​
kiruha [24]

Answer:

thermal energy

Friction does negative work and removes some of the energy the person expends and converts it to thermal energy. The net work equals the sum of the work done by each individual force. The forces acting on the package are gravity, the normal force, the force of friction, and the applied force.

Suppose that on earth you can throw a ball vertically upward a distance of 1.20 m. Given that the acceleration of gravity on the
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

7.04 m

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity = 0

s = Displacement on Earth = 1.2 m

a = Acceleration due to gravity on Moon = 1.67 m/s²

a = Acceleration due to gravity Earth= 9.81 m/s²

Accelration going up is considered as negetive

Initial Velocity of the ball

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow -u^2=2as-v^2\\\Rightarrow -u^2=2\times -9.81\times 1.2-0^2\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 1.2}\\\Rightarrow u=4.85\ m/s

Assuming that the ball is thrown with the same velocity on the Moon, displacement of the ball is

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{0^2-4.85^2}{2\times -1.67}\\\Rightarrow s=7.04\ m

The displacement of the ball on the moon is 7.04 m
