A BMX bicycle rider takes off from a ramp at a point 2.4 m above the ground. The ramp is angled at 40 degrees from the horizonta

l, and the rider's speed is 5.9 m/s when he leaves the ramp.
At what horizontal distance from the end of the ramp does he land?

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!

Assume that a pendulum used to drive a grandfather clock has a length L0=1.00m and a mass M at temperature T=20.00°C. It can be
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

The period will change a 0,036 % relative to its initial state

Explanation:

When the rod expands by heat its moment of inertia increases, but since there was no applied rotational force to the pendulum , the angular momentum remains constant. In other words:

ζ= Δ(Iω)/Δt, where ζ is the applied torque, I is moment of inertia, ω is angular velocity and t is time.

since there was no torque ( no rotational force applied)

ζ=0 → Δ(Iω)=0 → I₂ω₂ -I₁ω₁ = 0 → I₁ω₁ = I₂ω₂

thus

I₂/I₁ =ω₁/ω₂ , (2) represents final state and (1) initial state

we know also that ω=2π/T , where T is the period of the pendulum

I₂/I₁ =ω₁/ω₂ = (2π/T₁)/(2π/T₂)= T₂/T₁

Therefore to calculate the change in the period we have to calculate the moments of inertia. Looking at tables, can be found that the moment of inertia of a rod that rotates around an end is

I = 1/3 ML²

Therefore since the mass M is the same before and after the expansion

I₁ = 1/3 ML₁² , I₂ = 1/3 ML₂²  → I₂/I₁ = (1/3 ML₂²)/(1/3 ML₁²)= L₂²/L₁²= (L₂/L₁)²

since

L₂= L₁ (1+αΔT) , L₂/L₁=1+αΔT  , where ΔT is the change in temperature

now putting all together

T₂/T₁=I₂/I₁=(L₂/L₁)² = (1+αΔT) ²

finally

%change in period =(T₂-T₁)/T₁ = T₂/T₁ - 1 = (1+αΔT) ² -1

%change in period =(1+αΔT) ² -1 =[ 1+18×10⁻⁶ °C⁻¹ *10 °C]² -1 = 3,6 ×10⁻⁴ = 3,6 ×10⁻² %  = 0,036 %

Two loudspeakers are 1.60 m apart. A person stands 3.00 m from one speaker and 3.50 m from the other. (a) What is the lowest fre
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Distance between two loud speakers d=1.6\ m

Distance of person from one speaker x_1=3\ m

Distance of person from second speaker x_2=3.5\ m

Path difference between the waves is given by

x_2-x_1=(2m+1)\cdot \frac{\lambda }{2}

for destructive interference m=0 I.e.

x_2-x_1=\frac{\lambda }{2}

3.5-3=\frac{\lambda }{2}

\lambda =0.5\times 2

\lambda =1\ m

frequency is given by

f=\frac{v}{\lambda }

where v=velocity\ of\ sound\ (v=343\ m/s)

f=\frac{343}{1}=343\ Hz

For next frequency which will cause destructive interference is

i.e. m=1 and m=2

3.5-3=\frac{2\cdot 1+1}{2}\cdot \lambda

\lambda =\frac{1}{3}\ m

frequency corresponding to this is

f_2=\frac{343}{\frac{1}{3}}=1029\ Hz

for m=2

3.5-3=\frac{5}{2}\cdot \lambda

\lambda =\frac{1}{5}\ m

Frequency corresponding to this wavelength

f_3=\frac{343}{\frac{1}{5}}

f_3=1715\ Hz

What does Electromagnetic induction mean?
mina [271]

Answer:

<u>Electromagnetic introduction</u> is the production of an electromotive force (voltage) across an electrical conductor in a changing magnetic field.

  • <em><u>Step up transformers</u></em><u> is</u> a transformer in which the output (secondary) voltage is greater than its input (primary) voltage is called a step-up transformer. The step-up transformer decreases the output current for keeping the input and output power of the system equal.

  • <u><em>Step down transformer is </em></u><em>a transformer in which the output (secondary) voltage is less than its input (primary) voltage is called a step-down transformer. The number of turns on the primary of the transformer is greater than the turn on the secondary of the transformer.</em>

<em />

<u>The difference between them:</u>

A transformer is a static device which transfers a.c electrical power from one circuit to the other at the same frequency, but the voltage level is usually changed. For economical reasons, electric power is required to be transmitted at high voltage whereas it has to be utilized at low voltage from a safety point of view. This increase in voltage for transmission and decrease in voltage for utilization can only be achieved by using a step-up and step-down transformer.

Hopefully this helped.

Why a body in uniform velocity is zero acceleration ?​
seropon [69]
Uniform velocity means no Net force and therefore no acceleration. Acceleration only happens when the velocity changes.
