Explain the purpose of pumping while running through a half pipe

Physics
1 answer:
scoray [572]3 years ago
8 0
<span>The purpose of pumping is to increase overall velocity. The person drops down into a crouch while traversing the more-or-less flat bottom of the U-shaped pipe or bowl. Then, as he enters the sloped part of the ramp or bowl, called the transition, he straightens his legs and rises up. By raising his center of mass just at the beginning of the arc, the person gains energy and thereby increases his speed.</span>

In a parallel circuit, what’s happens to the current through each resistor when the voltage is doubled?
34kurt

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Voltage, V = Current, I x Resistance, R  (V is directly proportional to I where R is constant of proportionality)

This means that when Voltage is increased, Current increases and when voltage is decreased, current decreases (and the inverse is true). Through all this though, resistance remains constant regardless.

An eraser is thrown upward with an initial velocity of 5.0 m/s. The eraser's velocity after 7.0 seconds is ____ m/s.
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Given parameters:

Initial velocity of eraser  = 5.0m/s

Time  = 7.0s

Unknown:

Final velocity = ?

Solution:

Since we have been given the initial velocity and duration of the throw, we can apply the appropriate motion equation to solve this problem.

       V  = U - 2gt

where V is the final velocity

            U is the initial velocity

             g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

            t is the time taken

       V  = U - gt

       V = 5 - (9.8)(7)

       V = -63.6 or -64m/s

The velocity is -64m/s

It takes Harry 34 s to walk from x1 = -11 m to x2 = -54 m .
miss Akunina [59]
Missing question:
"<span>What is his velocity? Please answer using two sig figs in m/s."

Solution
The relationship between velocity (v), space (S) and time (t) is
</span>v= \frac{S}{t}
<span>The space covered by Harry is
</span>S=x_1 - x_2 = -11 m-(-54 m)=43 m
<span>and so the velocity is 
</span>v= \frac{43 m}{34 s} =1.26 m/s<span>
</span>

A positive charge is placed within the sphere without touching it. You grounded the sphere by touching it with your finger. Then
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

Negative

Explanation:

If a negatively charged object is used to charge a neutral object by induction, then the neutral object will acquire a positive charge. And if a positively charged object is used to charge a neutral object by induction, then the neutral object will acquire a negative charge:

We have a neutral sphere

1) Electrons are attracted to the positive charge

2) Electrons enter the sphere from ground, attrated to the + charge in the sphere

3) The sphere has an excess of e- having entered from the ground

4) Electrons redistribute uniformly
