Answer:
The BMX lands 5.4 m from the end of the ramp.
Explanation:
Hi there!
The position of the BMX is given by the position vector "r":
r = (x0 + v0 · t · cos α, y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²)
Where:
r = position vector at time t
x0 = initial horizontal position
v0 = initial velocity
α = jumping angle
y0 = initial vertical position
g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive)
Please, see the attached graphic for a better understanding of the situation. At final time, when the bicycle reaches the ground, the vector position will be "r final" (see figure). The y-component of the vector "r final" is - 2.4 m (placing the origin of the frame of reference at the jumping point). With that information, we can use the equation of the y-component of the vector "r" (see above) to calculate the time of flight. With that time, we can then obtain the x-component (rx in the figure) of the vector "r final". Then:
y = y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²
-2.4 m = 0 m + 5.9 m/s · t · sin 40° - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²
0 = -4.9 m/s² · t² + 5.9 m/s · t · sin 40° + 2.4 m
Solving the quadratic equation:
t = 1.2 s
Now, we can calculate the x-component of the vector "r final" that is the horizontal distance traveled by the bicycle:
x = x0 + v0 · t · cos α
x = 0 m + 5.9 m/s · 1.2 s · cos 40°
x = 5.4 m
The BMX lands 5.4 m from the end of the ramp.
Have a nice day!
Answer:
v = 1.224 m/s
Explanation:
given,
distance between the two successive maxima = 1.70 m
number of crest = 8
time = 11 s
frequency is equal to number of cycle per secod
velocity of wave
v = f x λ
v = 0.72 x 1.70
v = 1.224 m/s
Hence, the wave speed is equal to v = 1.224 m/s
Answer:
v = 5.34[m/s]
Explanation:
In order to solve this problem, we must use the theorem of work and energy conservation. This theorem tells us that the sum of the mechanical energy in the initial state plus the work on or performed by a body must be equal to the mechanical energy in the final state.
Mechanical energy is defined as the sum of energies, kinetic, potential, and elastic.
E₁ = mechanical energy at initial state [J]
In the initial state, we only have kinetic energy, potential energy is not had since the reference point is taken below 1.5[m], and the reference point is taken as potential energy equal to zero.
In the final state, you have kinetic energy and potential since the car has climbed 1.5[m] of the hill. Elastic energy is not available since there are no springs.
E₂ = mechanical energy at final state [J]
Now we can use the first statement to get the first equation:
where:
W₁₋₂ = work from the state 1 to 2.
where:
h = elevation = 1.5 [m]
g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]
