Consider a system of a cliff diver and the Earth. The gravitational potential energy of the system decreases by 25,000 J as the

diver drops to the water from a height of 44.0 m. Determine her weight in newtons.

Answer:

568.18 N

Explanation:

From the question,

The formula for gravitational potential is given as

Ep = mgh........................ Equation 1

Where Ep = Gravitational potential, m = mass of the diver,h = Height.

But,

W = mg.................... Equation 2

Where W = weight of the diver.

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

Ep = Wh

Make W the subject of the equation

W = Ep/h................... Equation 3

Given: Ep = 25000 J, h = 44 m

Substitute into equation 3

W = 25000/44

W = 568.18 N.

Hence the weight of the diver = 568.18 N

A shell is fired at an angle of 35° above the horizontal at a velocity of 40 m/s. (a) What is it's speed at the highest point of
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Part a)

v_f = v_x = 32.77 m/s

Part b)

T = 4.68 s

Explanation:

Part a)

Shell is fired at speed of 40 m/s at angle of 35 degree

so here we have

v_x = 40 cos35 = 32.77 m/s

v_y = 40 sin35 = 22.94 m/s

since gravity act opposite to vertical speed of the shell so at the highest point of its trajectory the vertical component of the speed will become zero

so at the highest point the speed is given

v_f = 32.77 m/s

Part b)

After completing the motion we know that the displacement of the object will be zero in Y direction

so we have

\Delta y = 0

0 = v_y t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

T = \frac{2v_y}{g}

T = \frac{2(22.94)}{9.81} = 4.68 s
