Answer:

0.03167 m

1.52 m

Explanation:

x = Compression of net

h = Height of jump

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

The potential energy and the kinetic energy of the system is conserved

P_i=P_f+K_s\\\Rightarrow mgh_i=-mgx+\frac{1}{2}kx^2\\\Rightarrow k=2mg\frac{h_i+x}{x^2}\\\Rightarrow k=2\times 65\times 9.81\frac{18+1.1}{1.1^2}\\\Rightarrow k=20130.76\ N/m

The spring constant of the net is 20130.76 N

From Hooke's Law

F=kx\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{F}{k}\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{65\times 9.81}{20130.76}\\\Rightarrow x=0.03167\ m

The net would strech 0.03167 m

If h = 35 m

From energy conservation

65\times 9.81\times (35+x)=\frac{1}{2}20130.76x^2\\\Rightarrow 10065.38x^2=637.65(35+x)\\\Rightarrow 35+x=15.785x^2\\\Rightarrow 15.785x^2-x-35=0\\\Rightarrow x^2-\frac{200x}{3157}-\frac{1000}{451}=0

Solving the above equation we get

x=\frac{-\left(-\frac{200}{3157}\right)+\sqrt{\left(-\frac{200}{3157}\right)^2-4\cdot \:1\left(-\frac{1000}{451}\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}, \frac{-\left(-\frac{200}{3157}\right)-\sqrt{\left(-\frac{200}{3157}\right)^2-4\cdot \:1\left(-\frac{1000}{451}\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}\\\Rightarrow x=1.52, -1.45

The compression of the net is 1.52 m

When a jet lands on an aircraft carrier, a hook on the tail of the plane grabs a wire that quickly brings the plane to a halt be
Veronika [31]
The problem seems to be incomplete because there is no question. However, from the problem description, the logical question is to find he acceleration needed by the jet to land on the airplane carrier. The working equation would be:

2ad = v₂² - v₁²
Since the jet stops, v₂ = 0. Substituting the values:
2(a)(95 m) = 0² - [(240 km/h)(1000 m/1 km)(1h/3600 s)]²
Solving for a,
<em>a = -23.39 m/s² (the negative sign indicates that the jet is decelerating)</em>

How are volcanoes distributed
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

Volcanic activity is widespread over the earth, but tends to be concentrated in specific locations. Volcanoes are most likely to occur along the margins of tectonic plates, especially in subduction zones where oceanic plates dive under continental plates. As the oceanic plate subducts beneath the surface, intense heat and pressure melts the rock. Molten rock material, magma, can then ooze its way toward the surface where it accumulates at the surface to create a volcano. Volcanic activity can be found along the Mid-ocean ridge system as well. Here, oceanic plates are diverging and magma spreads across the ocean floor, ultimately being exposed at the surface. Crustal spreading long the ridge is partly responsible for the volcanic activity of Iceland. It is also thought that a "hot spot" lies beneath the island that contributes to volcanism.
