Alex climbs to the top of a tall tree while his friend Gary waits on the ground below. Alex throws down a ball at 8 m/s from 50

m above the ground at the same time Gary throws a ball up. At what speed must Gary throw a ball up in order for the two balls to cross paths 25 m above the ground? The starting height of the ball thrown upward is 1.5 m above the ground. Ignore the effects of air resistance. whats the answer in m/s?

Answer:22.62 m/s

Explanation:

Given

two balls are separated by a distance of 50 m

Alex throws the ball from a height of 50 m with a velocity of 8 m/s and Gary launches a ball with some velocity exactly at the same time.

ball from ground travels a distance of 25 m in t sec

For Person on tree

$25=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$25=8t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2--------1$

For person at ground

$23.5=ut-\frac{1}{2}gt^2---------2$

Solve equation (1)

$50=16t+9.81t^2$

$9.81t^2+16t-50=0$

$t=\frac{-16\pm\sqrt{256+4\times 50\times 9.81}}{2\times 9.81}=\frac{47.1-16}{19.62}=1.58 s$

put the value of t in equation 2

$23.5=u\times 1.58-\frac{9.81\times 1.58^2}{2}$

$u=\frac{35.744}{1.58}=22.62 m/s$

In a flying ski jump, the skier acquires a speed of 110 km/h by racing down a steep hill and then lifts off into the air from a

matrenka [14]

Answer:

Approximately $\displaystyle\rm \left[ \begin{array}{c}\rm191\; m\\\rm-191\; m\end{array}\right]$ .

Explanation:

Consider this $45^{\circ}$ slope and the trajectory of the skier in a cartesian plane. Since the problem is asking for the displacement vector relative to the point of "lift off", let that particular point be the origin $(0, 0)$ .

Assume that the skier is running in the positive x-direction. The line that represents the slope shall point downwards at $45^{\circ}$ to the x-axis. Since this slope is connected to the ramp, it should also go through the origin. Based on these conditions, this line should be represented as $y = -x$ .

Convert the initial speed of this diver to SI units:

$\displaystyle v = \rm 110\; km\cdot h^{-1} = 110 \times \frac{1}{3.6} = 30.556\; m\cdot s^{-1}$ .

The question assumes that the skier is in a free-fall motion. In other words, the skier travels with a constant horizontal velocity and accelerates downwards at $g$ ( $g \approx \rm -9.81\; m\cdot s^{-2}$ near the surface of the earth.) At $t$ seconds after the skier goes beyond the edge of the ramp, the position of the skier will be:

$x$ -coordinate: $30.556t$ meters (constant velocity;)
$y$ -coordinate: $\displaystyle -\frac{1}{2}g\cdot t^{2} = -\frac{9.81}{2}\cdot t^{2}$ meters (constant acceleration with an initial vertical velocity of zero.)

To eliminate $t$ from this expression, solve the equation between $t$ and $x$ for $t$ . That is: express $t$ as a function of $x$ .

$x = 30.556\;t\implies \displaystyle t = \frac{x}{30.556}$ .

Replace the $t$ in the equation of $y$ with this expression:

$\begin{aligned} y = &-\frac{9.81}{2}\cdot t^{2}\\ &= -\frac{9.81}{2} \cdot \left(\frac{x}{30.556}\right)^{2}\\&= -0.0052535\;x^{2}\end{aligned}$ .

Plot the two functions:

$y = -x$ ,
$\displaystyle y= -0.0052535\;x^{2}$ ,

and look for their intersection. Refer to the diagram attached.

Alternatively, equate the two expressions of $y$ (right-hand side of the equation, the part where $y$ is expressed as a function of $x$ .)

$-0.0052535\;x^{2} = -x$ ,

$\implies x = 190.35$ .

The value of $y$ can be found by evaluating either equation at this particular $x$ -value: $x = 190.35$ .

$y = -190.35$ .

The position vector of a point $(x, y)$ on a cartesian plane is $\displaystyle \left[\begin{array}{l}x \\ y\end{array}\right]$ . The coordinates of this skier is approximately $(190.35, -190.35)$ . The position vector of this skier will be $\displaystyle\rm \left[ \begin{array}{c}\rm191\\\rm-191\end{array}\right]$ . Keep in mind that both numbers in this vectors are in meters.

A bodybuilder deadlifts a 215 kg weight to a height of 0.90 m above the ground. If he deadlifts this weight 10 times in a span o

wariber [46]

A bodybuilder deadlifts 215 kg to a height of 0.90 m. If he deadlifts this weight 10 times in 45 s, the power exerted is 421 W (b.)

<h3>What is power?</h3>

In physics, power (P) is the work (W) done over a period of time.

Step 1. Calculate the work done by the bodybuilder each time.

The bodybuilder lifts a 215 kg (m) weight to a height of 0.90 m (h). Being the gravity (g) of 9.81 m/s², we can calculate the work done in each lift using the following expression.

W = m × g × h = 215 kg × 9.81 m/s² × 0.90 m = 1.9 × 10³ N

Step 2. Calculate the work done by the bodybuilder over 10 times.

W = 10 × 1.9 × 10³ N = 1.9 × 10⁴ N

Step 3. Calculate the power exerted by the bodybuilder.

The bodybuilder does a work of 1.9 × 10⁴ N in a 45-s span.

P = 1.9 × 10⁴ N/45 s = 421 W

A bodybuilder deadlifts 215 kg to a height of 0.90 m. If he deadlifts this weight 10 times in 45 s, the power exerted is 421 W (b.)
