Excellent human jumpers can leap straight up to a height of
Firlakuza [10]

For a human jumper to reach a height of 110 cm, the person will need to leave the ground at a speed of 4.65 m/s.  

We can calculate the initial speed to reach 110 cm of height with the following equation:

v_{f}^{2} = v_{i}^{2} - 2gh

Where:

v_{f}: is the final speed = 0 (at the maximum height of 110 cm)

v_{i}: is the initial speed =?

g: is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h: is the height = 110 cm = 1.10 m

Hence, the <u>initial velocity</u> is:

v_{i} = \sqrt{v_{f}^{2} + 2gh} = \sqrt{2*9.81 m/s^{2}*1.10 m} = 4.65 m/s

Therefore, the initial speed that the person must have to reach 110 cm is 4.65 m/s.

I hope it helps you!

The world speed record on water was set on October
Luda [366]

Answer: Remember speed is distance divided by time, so if he travels 1000 m in 7.045 s, his speed is

(1000 m)/(7.045 s) = 141.9 m/s.

Note there are 1609 metres in a mile, or 1 mi = 1609 m, so m = 1/1609 mi, or

141.9/1609 mi/s = 0.08822 mi/s. Now, note that 1 h = 3600 s, so the speed is

0.08822*3600 mi/h = 317.6 mi/h.

Space pilot Mavis zips past Stanley at a constant speed relative to him of 0.800c. Mavis and Stanley start timers at zero when t
inna [77]

Answer:

Explanation:

a. The equation of Lorentz transformations is given by:

x = γ(x' + ut')

x' and t' are the position and time in the moving system of reference, and u is the speed of the space ship. x is related to the observer reference.

x' = 0

t' = 5.00 s

u =0.800 c,

c is the speed of light = 3×10⁸ m/s

Then,

γ = 1 / √ (1 - (u/c)²)

γ = 1 / √ (1 - (0.8c/c)²)

γ = 1 / √ (1 - (0.8)²)

γ = 1 / √ (1 - 0.64)

γ = 1 / √0.36

γ = 1 / 0.6

γ = 1.67

Therefore, x = γ(x' + ut')

x = 1.67(0 + 0.8c×5)

x = 1.67 × (0+4c)

x = 1.67 × 4c

x = 1.67 × 4 × 3×10⁸

x = 2.004 × 10^9 m

x ≈ 2 × 10^9 m

Now, to find t we apply the same analysis:

but as x'=0 we just have:

t = γ(t' + ux'/c²)

t = γ•t'

t = 1.67 × 5

t = 8.35 seconds

b. Mavis reads 5 s on her watch which is the proper time.

Stanley measured the events at a time interval longer than ∆to by γ,

such that

∆t = γ ∆to = (5/3)(5) = 25/3 = 8.3 sec which is the same as part (b)

c. According to Stanley,

dist = u ∆t = 0.8c (8.3) = 2 x 10^9 m

which is the same as in part (a)

A swimming pool is 50 ft wide and 100 ft long and its bottom is an inclined plane, the shallow end having a depth of 4 ft and th
Nina [5.8K]

Explanation:

We define force as the product of mass and acceleration.

F = ma

It means that the object has zero net force when it is in rest state or it when it has no acceleration. However in the case of liquids. just like the above mentioned case, the water is at rest but it is still exerting a pressure on the walls of the swimming pool. That pressure exerted by the liquids in their rest state is known as hydro static force.

Given Data:

Width of the pool = w = 50 ft

length of the pool = l= 100 ft

Depth of the shallow end = h(s) = 4 ft

Depth of the deep end = h(d) = 10 ft.

weight density = ρg = 62.5 lb/ft

Solution:

a) Force on a shallow end:

F = \frac{pgwh}{2} (2x_{1}+h)

F = \frac{(62.5)(50)(4)}{2}(2(0)+4)

F = 25000 lb

b) Force on deep end:

F = \frac{pgwh}{2} (2x_{1}+h)

F = \frac{(62.5)(50)(10)}{2} (2(0)+10)

F = 187500 lb

c) Force on one of the sides:

As it is mentioned in the question that the bottom of the swimming pool is an inclined plane so sum of the forces on the rectangular part and triangular part will give us the force on one of the sides of the pool.

1) Force on the Rectangular part:

F = \frac{pg(l.h)}{2}(2(x_{1} )+ h)

x_{1} = 0\\h_{s} = 4ft

F = \frac{(62.5)(100)(2)}{2}(2(0)+4)

F =25000lb

2) Force on the triangular part:

F = \frac{pg(l.h)}{6} (3x_{1} +2h)

here

h = h(d) - h(s)

h = 10-4

h = 6ft

x_{1} = 4ft\\

F = \frac{62.5 (100)(6)}{6} (3(4)+2(6))

F = 150000 lb

now add both of these forces,

F = 25000lb + 150000lb

F = 175000lb

d) Force on the bottom:

F = \frac{pgw\sqrt{l^{2} + ((h_{d}) - h(s)) } (h_{d}+h_{s})   }{2}

F = \frac{62.5(50)\sqrt{100^{2}(10-4) } (10+4) }{2}

F = 2187937.5 lb
