A skydiver jumped out of a plane, determine distance he distance he descended after 5 seconds. Gravity is pulling him down at 10

The distance travelled in 5 seconds is 125 m

Explanation:

The motion of the skydiver is a free fall motion, since he is acted upon the force of gravity only. Therefore, it is a uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration downward, and we can find the distance he travels by using the following suvat equation:

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where

s is the distance travelled

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

a is the acceleration

In this problem, we have:

u = 0 (the skydiver jumps from rest)

a=g=10 m/s^2 (acceleration of gravity)

And substituting

t = 5.0 s

we find the distance travelled:

s=0+\frac{1}{2}(10)(5)^2=125 m

A spring with a spring constant of 50 N/m is stretched 15cm. What is the force and energy associated with this stretching?
Olenka [21]
Data:
F (force) = ? (Newton)
k (<span>Constant spring force) = 50 N/m
x (</span>Spring deformation) = 15 cm → 0.15 m

Formula:
F = k*x

Solving: 
F = k*x
F = 50*0.15
\boxed{\boxed{F = 7.5\:N}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark

Data:
E (energy) = ? (joule)
k (Constant spring force) = 50 N/m
x (Spring deformation) = 15 cm → 0.15 m

Formula:
E = \frac{k*x^2}{2}

Solving:(Energy associated with this stretching)
E = \frac{k*x^2}{2}
E =  \frac{50*0.15^2}{2}
E =  \frac{50*0.0225}{2}
E =  \frac{1.125}{2}
\boxed{\boxed{E = 0.5625\:J}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark

A 5.00-m-long uniform ladder, weighing 200 N, rests against a smooth vertical wall with its base on a horizontal rough floor, a
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

0.488  m  

Explanation:

If θ be the angle ladder makes with the plane

cos θ = 1.2 / 5

Tan θ = 4.04

Let the height a person of weight 600 N  can climb be h from the ground .

Distance from the base point  where ladder touches the floor  = h / tanθ

= h / 4.04

Total reaction force = total downward force

R = 200 + 600

800 N

Frictional force = μ R

= .2 x 800

= 160 N

Taking moment of force about the point on the ladder  where it  touches the floor  and balancing them

200 x 1.2 x .5 + 600 x   h / tanθ  = μ R x  1.2 / tanθ ( reaction  at the top point of ladder where it touches the wall is  R₁ and

R₁ =μ R   )

= 200 x 1.2 x .5 + 600 x   h / tanθ  = 160 x 1.2 / tanθ

120  - 600 h / 4.04 = 47.52

120 - 47.52 = 600 h / 4.04

72.48= 148.51 h

h = 0.488  m

The light from the Sun heats a metal surface. This is an example of what?
Sedaia [141]
Radiation. That's perhaps the only way that energy gets from the Sun to the earth. The space between the two is a vacuum, so conduction is more or less out as is convection. There's no obvious sign of mirrors, so reflection seems to be out as well.
