Answer:

8.9 m NorthEast

Explanation:

a² + b² = c²

8² + 4² = c²

64 + 16 = c²

80 = c²

c = √80

c ≈ 8.9 m NorthEast

A small balloon is released at a point 150 feet away from an observer, who is on level ground. If the balloon goes straight up a
Elza [17]

Answer:

\dfrac{dz}{dt}=0.65\ ft/s

Explanation:

Given that

x= 150 ft

\dfrac{dy}{dt}= 7\ ft/s

y= 14 ft

From the diagram

z^2=x^2+y^2

When ,x= 150 ft and y= 14 ft

z^2=150^2+14^2

z=\sqrt{150^2+15^2}

z=150.74 ft

z^2=x^2+y^2

By differentiating with respect to time t

2z\dfrac{dz}{dt}= 2x\dfrac{dx}{dt}+2y\dfrac{dy}{dt}

z\dfrac{dz}{dt}= x\dfrac{dx}{dt}+y\dfrac{dy}{dt}

Here x is constant that is why

\dfrac{dx}{dt}=0

z\dfrac{dz}{dt}= y\dfrac{dy}{dt}

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

150.74\times \dfrac{dz}{dt}=14\times 7

\dfrac{dz}{dt}=\dfrac{14\times 7}{150.74}\ ft/s

\dfrac{dz}{dt}=0.65\ ft/s

Therefore the distance between balloon and observer increasing with 0.65 ft/s.

A high-jumper, having just cleared the bar, lands on an air mattress and comes to rest. Had she landed directly on the hard grou
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

e. the air mattress exerts the same impulse, but a smaller net avg force, on the high-jumper than hard-ground.

Explanation:

This is according to the Newton's second law and energy conservation that the force exerted by the hard-ground is more than the force exerted by the mattress.

The hard ground stops the moving mass by its sudden reaction in the opposite direction of impact force whereas the mattress takes a longer time to stop the motion of same mass in a longer time leading to lesser average reaction force.

<u>Mathematical expression for the Newton's second law of motion is given as:</u>

F=\frac{dp}{dt} ............................................(1)

where:

dp = change in momentum

dt = time taken to change the momentum

We know, momentum:

p=m.v

Now, equation (1) becomes:

F=\frac{d(m.v)}{dt}

<em>∵mass is constant at speeds v << c (speed of light)</em>

\therefore F=m.\frac{dv}{dt}

and, \frac{dv}{dt} =a

where: a = acceleration

\Rightarrow F=m.a

also

F\propto \frac{1}{dt}

so, more the time, lesser the force.

<em>& </em><u><em>Impulse:</em></u>

I=F.dt

I=m.a.dt

I=m.\frac{dv}{dt}.dt

I=m.dv=dp

∵Initial velocity and final velocity(=0), of a certain mass is same irrespective of the stopping method.

So, the impulse in both the cases will be same.

A baseball fan is 150.0 m from the home plate. how much time elapses between the instant the fan sees the batter hit the ball an
Artyom0805 [142]

Approximately 0.4373 seconds

Speed of sound at 20 degree C is roughly 343 meters/second

Speed of light = 3x10^8 or 300,000,000 meters/second

at 150.0 feet away you set it up as:

150.0/343 - 150/3x10^8

150.0/343 = 0.43731778

150/3x10^8 = 5x10^-7 or 0.0000005

Subtract 0.43731778 - 0.0000005

Answer is 0.43731728

Rounding would be approx. 0.4373
