The current world-record motorcycle jump is 77.0 m, set by Jason Renie. Assume that he left the take-off ramp at 13.0° to the ho
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

The take-off speed is 41.48 \frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

Given :

Range R = 77 m

Projectile angle \alpha  = 13°

From the formula of range,

  R = \frac{v_{o} ^{2}   }{g} \sin 2\alpha

Find the velocity from above equation,

  v_{o} = \sqrt{\frac{gR}{\sin 2 \alpha } }

  v_{o} = \sqrt{\frac{9.8 \times 77}{\sin 26} }                              ( ∵ g = 9.8 \frac{m}{s^{2} } )

  v_{o} = 41.48 \frac{m}{s}

Therefore, the take-off speed is 41.48 \frac{m}{s}

Define limitations in the operation conditions of a pn junction<br>​
suter [353]

Answer:

Such limitations are given below.

Explanation:

  • Each pn junction provides limited measurements of maximum forwarding current, highest possible inversion voltage as well as the maximum output level.
  • If controlled within certain adsorption conditions, the pn junction could very well offer satisfying performance.
  • In connector operation, the maximum inversion voltage seems to be of significant importance.

Why is it important to be able to trace the pole connection on a meter back to the same type of pole at the electrical source?
lozanna [386]

Answer:

Explanation:

A grounded wire is sometimes strung along the tops of the towers to provide lightning protection.

In areas where the neutral is grounded or earthed, it is essential to endure that the neutral and the live or hot wires are not confused for each other.

When this happens, the fuses on the transformer will not operate unless the fault is very close to the transformer. The fuses in the consumer's intake box, will not operate.
