A pole-vaulter is nearly motionless as he clears the bar, set 4.2 m above the ground. He then falls onto a thick pad. The top of

the pad is 80 cm above the ground, and it compresses by 50 cm as he comes to rest. What is the magnitude of his acceleration as he comes to rest on the pad?

initial height of the Pole - vaulter = 4.2 m

now when he reached the top of the pad his height is 80 cm

so the total displacement of the person will be = 4.2 - 0.8 = 3.4 m

now we can use kinematics to find the speed just before he touch the pad

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

v_f^2 - 0 = 2*9.8*3.4

v_f^2 = 66.64

v_f = 8.16 m/s

now when he compressed on pad the distance after which he will stop is 50 cm

so now again using kinematics we can say

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

0 - 8.16^2 = 2*a*0.50

a = -66.64 m/s^2

so it is acceleration by -66.64 m/s^2

A boy with a mass of 45 kg runs towards a stationary trolley with a total mass of 30 kg. The boy then jumps on the trolley and t
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

The trolley moves because a force of exertion is pushed onto it when the boy launches himself onto it. It also moves in a direction, so velocity is applied to it.

The velocity goes from stand-still to something. Also, to find velocity, I think acceleration and time are 2 constants that are needed to find velocity, which is not present in the question.

Sorry if this is not the answer you wanted.. I just gave a basic guess as to what I think the answer is. I just started to learn physics.

A car has a mass of 8000kg and a kinetic energy of 24,000j. What is the speed?
Oxana [17]

Answer:

2.5m/s

Explanation:

Kinetic energy = 1/2 mv²

Mass = m= 8000kg

Velocity(speed) = v =

K. E = 24000J

K. E = 1/2 x 8000 x v²

24000 = 4000 x v²

Divide both sides by 4000

V²= 24000/4000

V² = 6

Find square root of both sides

V = √6

V = 2.5 m/s

The S. I unit of energy is joules with symbol J

A football coach walks 24 meters eastward, then 12 meters
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Distance magnitude = 24 meters

The direction of the displacement = Eastward

Explanation:

The distance walked by the football coach eastward = 24 meters

The distance walked by the football coach westward = 12 meters

Then the distance walked by the football coach eastward = 36 meters

Finally, the distance walked by the football coach westward = 22 meters

The total distance walked by the coach eastward  = 24 + 36 = 60 meters

The total distance walked by the coach westward  = 12 + 22 = 34 meters

Taking x-direction as positive, we have;

The magnitude of the distance = 60 - 34 = 24 meters,

The direction of the coach = Eastward.
