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

Describe gravitational force in your own words. Which two factors affect the gravitational force between two objects?
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

Gravitational force is the force that attracts objects towards each other. Two factors that affect the gravitational force between objects are the mass of the two objects and the distance between

Explanation:

Gravity is what pulls us towards the Earth if we were to jump into the air, so it is the force that pulls things towards other things. The bigger the objects are the more gravity they have, so a planet has more gravity than say, an apple. Distance between objects also makes their gravity change, so the Earth's pull on the moon is different than the Earth's pull on the sun.

Hopefully this helps- let me know if you have any questions!
