A motorcyclist is trying to leap across a canyon by driving horizontally off the higher side of the canyon at a speed of 78.0 m/

s. If air resistance is neglected and the difference in height on two sides of the canyon is 252 m, what is the speed of the motorcycle as it reaches the lower side of the canyon?

Answer:

v = (78.0 i ^ - 70.27 j ^) m/s,      v = 105 m / s ,    θ = 318º

Explanation:

We have a projectile launch problem, let's start by calculating the time it takes to get through the canyon

        y = v_{oy} t - ½ gt2

As the motorcyclist comes out horizontally, the speed he has is the horizontal speed (vox) and the initial vertical speed is zero (I go = 0)

       y = 0 - ½ g t2

       t = √ 2y / g

       t = √ (2 252 /9.8)

       t = 7.17 s

Let's calculate the vertical speed for this time

        v_{y}  =  v_{oy}  - gt

        v_{y}  = 0 - gt

       v_{oy}  = - 9.8 7.17

       v_{oy}  = - 70.27 m / s

We can give the result in two ways

First:

    v = (78.0 i ^ - 70.27 j ^) m / s

Second:

using the Pythagorean theorem and trigonometry

   v² = vₓ² +  v_{oy} ²

   v = √ [(78.0)² + (-70.42)²] = √ (11042.98)

   v = 105 m / s

   tan θ₁ =  v_{y} y / vₓ

   tan θ₁ = -70.42 / 78.0

   θ₁ = 42º

If we measure this angle from the positive direction of the x-axis counterclockwise

    θ = 360 - θ₁

    θ = 360 - 42

    θ = 318º

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Autotrophs

Explanation:

When you go down a food chain continuing to ask "what does it eat?" the last living thing that you will land upon is an autotroph.

Autotrophs are the primary producers as they (photoautotrophs) use the energy either from the sun to prepare  there food by the process of photosynthesis or, more rarely, obtain chemical energy through oxidation (chemoautotrophs) to make organic substances from inorganic ones.

Autotrophs get consumed by the primary consumers in the food chain.

Ask Your Teacher Suppose the roller coaster below(h1 = 36 m, h2 = 13 m, h3 = 30) passes point A with a speed of 1.00 m/s. If the
Oliga [24]

Answer:

The answer to the question is

The roller coaster will reach point B with a speed of 14.72 m/s

Explanation:

Considering both kinetic energy KE = 1/2×m×v² and potential energy PE = m×g×h

Where m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h = starting height of the roller coaster

we have the given variables

h₁ = 36 m,

h₂ = 13 m,

h₃ = 30 m

v₁ = 1.00 m/s

Total energy at point 1 = 0.5·m·v₁² + m·g·h₁

= 0.5 m×1² + m×9.81×36

=353.66·m

Total energy at point 2 = 0.5·m·v₂² + m·g·h₂

= 0.5×m×v₂² + 9.81 × 13 × m = 0.5·m·v₂² + 127.53·m

The total energy at 1 and 2 are not equal due to the frictional force which must be considered

Total energy at point 2 = Total energy at point 1 + work done against friction

Friction work = F×d×cosθ = (\frac{1}{5} × mg)×60×cos 180 = -117.72m

0.5·m·v₂² + 127.53·m = 353.66·m -117.72m

0.5·m·v₂² = 108.41×m

v₂² = 216.82

v₂  =  14.72 m/s

The roller coaster will reach point B with a speed of 14.72 m/s

Which of the following are basic principles that apply to circuits? Choose the 2 correct answers from the choices below.
marta [7]

The basic principles that apply to circuits is that electrons must receive energy from a source, and electrons transfer energy to perform some useful function.

<h3 /><h3>What is circuit?</h3>

Individual electronic components, like resistors, transistors, are connected by metallic wires or traces by which the electric current can flow to form a circuit design.

The basic principles that apply to circuits will be;

1. Electrons must receive energy from a source.

2. Electrons transfer energy to perform some useful function.

Hence, option 1 and 2 are correct.
