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

Any projectile always has a constant vertical acceleration of _______.
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: C. -9.81 m/s²

Explanation:

A. 9.81 m/s²  acceleration is considered positive when it goes to the center of the earth, so this option is incorrect.

B. 0 m/s²  This option is incorrect because acceleration is 0 for a linear motion without acceleration.

C. -9.81 m/s²  If a projectile goes to the sky, then the acceleration will be negative.

D. It is not constant. Acceleration is constant.

If a skydiver jumps out of a plane horizontally (in other words with no initial vertical velocity), then what will her vertical
erastovalidia [21]

The final vertical velocity of the skydiver at 50.8 m of fall is 31.56 m/s.

<h3>Time of motion of the girl</h3>

The time of motion of the girl is calculated as follows;

h = vt + ¹/₂gt²

where;

  • v is initial vertical velocity = 0
  • t is time of motion
  • g is acceleration due to gravity

Substitute the given parameters and solve for time of motion;

50.8 = 0 + ¹/₂(9.8)t²

2(50.8) = 9.8t²

101.6 = 9.8t²

t² = 101.6/9.8

t² = 10.367

t = √10.367

t = 3.22 seconds

<h3>Final vertical velocity of the skydiver</h3>

vf = vi + gt

where;

vi is the initial vertical velocity = 0

vf = 0 + 9.8(3.22)

vf = 31.56 m/s

Thus, the final vertical velocity of the skydiver at 50.8 m of fall is 31.56 m/s.

Grains of fine california beach sand are approximately spheres with an average radius of 50 μm and are made of silicon dioxide,
kykrilka [37]

The average radius(r) of each grain is r = 50 nanometers = 50*10^-6 meters

Since it is spherical, so

 Volume=(4/3)*pi*r^3

V= (4/3)*pi*(50*10^-6)^3

V=5.23599*10^-13 m^3

 

We are given the Density(ρ) =2600kg/m^3

 

We know that:

Density(p) = mass(m)/volume(V)

m = ρV

 

So the mass of a single grain is:

m = 5.23599*10^-13 * 2600 = 1.361357*10^-9 kg

 

 

The surface area of a grain is:

a = 4*pi*r^2

a = 4*pi*(50*10^-6)^2

a = 3.14*10^-8 m^2

 

 

Since we know the surface area and mass of a grain, the conversion factor is:

1.361357*10^-9 kg / 3.14*10^-8 m^2

 

Find the Surface area of the cube:

cube = 6a^2

cube = 6*1.1^2  = 7.26m^2

 

multiply this by the converions ratio to get:

total mass of sand grains = (7.26 m^2 * 1.361357*10^-9 kg) / (3.14*10^-8 m^2)

total mass of sand grains = 0.3148 kg = 314.80 g
