You are designing a ski jump ramp for the next Winter Olympics. Youneed to calculate the vertical height {h} from the starting g

ate to the bottom of the ramp. Theskiers push off hard with their ski poles at the start, just abovethe starting gate, so they typically have a speed of 2.0{\rm{ m/s}} as they reach the gate. For safety, the skiersshould have a speed of no more than 30.0 {\rm{ m/s}} when they reach the bottom of the ramp. Youdetermine that for a 86.0 kg skier with good form, friction and air resistance will dototal work of magnitude 4000 {\rm J} on him during his run down the slope.What is themaximum height {h} for which the maximum safe speed will not be exceeded?

Answer:

h=50.46m

Explanation:

Our values are,

m = 86kg

v_i = 2m/s

v_f = 30m/s

W= 4000J

We only need to use conservative of energy,

K_1 + U_1 = K_2 + U_2 + W

\frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 + mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 +0 +4000

\frac{1}{2}(86)(2)^2+(86)(9.8)h = \frac{1}{2}(86)(30)^2 +4000

h=50.46m

What is the wave speed of a wave that has a frequency of 250 Hz and a wavelength of 0.35 m?
azamat

Answer:

87.5 m/s

Explanation:

The speed of a wave is given by

v=\lambda f

where

v is the wave speed

\lambda is the wavelength

f is the frequency

In this problem, we have

f=250 Hz is the frequency

\lambda=0.35 m is the wavelength

Substituting into the equation, we find

v=(0.35 m)(250 Hz)=87.5 m/s

A 7.5 cm object is 14 cm from a concave lens, which has a focal length of –7 cm. Its image is 5 cm in front of the lens. What is
Rama09 [41]
Given conditions:
height of object = 7.5cmdistance of object from mirror  = 14 cmfocus length = -7 cmimage distance =  ?
Using mirror formula: 
1/(focus length) = 1/(object distance) + 1/(image distance)
or, -1/7 = 1/14 + 1/(image distance)
or, image distance = -4.66cm (the image formed is a virtual image)


Also, magnification of image is:
image height /height of object = - image distance /object distance
or, image height = - image distance / object distance * height of object
or, image height = -(-4.66) / 14 * 7.5 = 2.49 = 3(nearest whole number)

A dog walks 24 steps north and then walks 55 steps west to bury a bone. If the dog walks back to the starting point in a straigh
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

The dog should walk 60 steps to the southeast to return to its starting point.

Explanation:

To solve the present mathematical problem, we must use the Pythagorean theorem. This establishes that in right triangles the sum of their squared legs is equal to the hypotenuse squared, that is:

A ^ 2 + B ^ 2 = X ^ 2

Thus, in the case, the calculation would be the following:

24 ^ 2 + 55 ^ 2 = X ^ 2

576 + 3,025 = X ^ 2

√3,601 = X

60 = X

Therefore, the dog should walk 60 steps to the southeast to return to its starting point.
