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

1) Average speed

2) Displacement

Explanation:

1)

Speed is a scalar quantity which gives a measure of how fast a body is moving. It is equal to the ratio between the distance travelled by an object and the time taken to cover that distance:

speed = \frac{d}{\Delta t}

where

d is the distance covered

\Delta t is the time taken

It is important to note that being a scalar, speed does not have any direction. Moreover, distance is also a scalar quantity, which corresponds to the total length of the path covered by the object, regardless on the direction taken.

So, the equation "travelled distance/elapsed time" corresponds to the average speed. (where the term average refers to the fact we are not measuring the speed at a specific instant in time, but on a certain time interval \Delta t.

2)

Velocity is a vector quantity, so it has both a magnitude and a direction.

The magnitude of the velocity is given by:

velocity=\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}

where

\Delta x is the change in position (or displacement) of the object

\Delta t is the time taken

And the direction of the velocity corresponds to the direction of the displacement.

We must note that while distance does not depend on the direction, displacement does. In fact, displacement measures the difference between the initial and final position of the object.

Therefore, the equation "change in position / elapsed time" is equal to the average velocity.

Answer: I = 3.6 m3

(C)

Explanation:

moment of inertia for spherically shaped object around it's center is given as

I = (2/5) mr²

substituting the r = 3m²

I = (2/5)*(9) m3

I = 3.6 m3
