The pirate ship tie at the amusement park is a giant pendulum that riders sit in. It swings back and forth, with a maximum veloc

ity of 20 m/s. If the combined mass of the ride and the passengers is 8000 kg, what is the maximum height of the boat?

Law of conservation of energy states that KE=PE, so

1/2*mv^2=mgh,

1/2*v^2=gh,

h=v^2/2g=20^2/(2*9.8)=20.41 m

Here as we know that there is no loss of energy

so we can say that maximum kinetic energy will become gravitational potential energy at its maximum height

So here we have

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = mgh

here we have

v = 20 m/s

m = 8000 kg

now from above equation we have

\frac{1}{2}(8000)(20^2) = (8000)(9.8)h

h = \frac{200}{9.8)

h = 20.4 m

so maximum height is 20.4 m

If a star is moving away from you at a constant speed, how do the wavelengths of the absorption lines change as the star gets fa
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

they stay shifted the same amount to the red

Explanation:

Redshift is given by

z=\dfrac{\lambda_o-\lambda_e}{\lambda_e}

Where,

\lambda_o = Wavelength observed

\lambda_e = Wavelength emitted

Also

Transverse redshift is given by

1+z=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-v^2/c^2}}

v = Velocity of object

c = Speed of light = 3\times 10^8\ m/s

So, if the velocity is constant the redshift remains the same

A pilot heads his jet due east. The jet has a speed of 475 mi/h relative to the air. The wind is blowing due north with a speed
oksian1 [2.3K]

Explanation:

a. The velocity of the wind as a vector in component form will be represented as v vector:

    v=30j

b.The velocity of the jet relative to the air as a vector in component form will be represented as u vector

    u=475i

c. The true velocity of the jet as a vector will be represented as w:

  w=u+v

  w=475i+30j

d.  The true speed of the jet will be calculated as:

    IwI=\sqrt{(475)^2+(30)^2}

    IwI=\sqrt{225625+900}

    IwI=\sqrt{226525}

    IwI=476 mi/h

e. The direction of the jet will be:

tita=tan^{-1}\frac{30}{475}

tita=tan^{-1}(0.0632)

tita=3.62degrees,or,N86.38degreesS
