A person throws a pumpkin at a horizontal speed of 4.0 m/s off a cliff. The pumpkin travels 9.5m horizontally before it hits the ground. We can ignore air resistance.What is the pumpkin's vertical displacement during the throw? What is the pumpkin's vertical velocity when it hits the ground?

Answer:

The pumpkin's vertical displacement is $H = 27 .67 \ m$

The pumpkin's vertical velocity when it hits the ground is $v_v__{f}} = 23.298 \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The horizontal speed is $v_h = 4 m/s$

The horizontal distance traveled is $d = 9.5 \ m$

The horizontal distance traveled is mathematically represented as

$S = v_h * t$

Where t is the time taken

substituting values

$9.5 = 4 * t$

=> $t = \frac{9.5}{4}$

$t = 2.38 \ sec$

Now the vertical displacement is mathematically represented as

$H = v_v t + \frac{1}{2} a_v t^2$

now the vertical velocity before the throw is zero

$H = 0 + \frac{1}{2} (9.8) * (2.375)^2$

$H = 27 .67 \ m$

Now the final vertical velocity is mathematically represented as

$v_v__{f}} = v_v + at$

substituting values

$v_v__{f}} = 0 + (9.8)* (2.375)$

$v_v__{f}} = 23.298 \ m/s$

Which is not expecting acceleration?

Kamila [148]

1. Answer: A skydiver whose air resistance is equal to that of her weight.

A skydiver free falls under gravity but her rate of fall slows down due to drag -air resistance. when this air resistance becomes equal to her weight, the two get balanced and the body does not accelerate or decelerates.

2. Answer: Gravity

Contact forces are those which act when there is physical contact between two bodies. For example: normal force, tension and spring force.

Non-contact forces act between two bodies even when they are at a distance apart. For example: gravity, electric force, magnetic force etc.

3. Answer: The tendency of an object's motion to remain the same.

Inertia is a property of matter by virtue of which it tends to remain in its state of motion or rest. It does depend on mass of the object, more the mass, more is inertia. For example, cycle can be easily moved but we need real push hard for a car to move.

4. Answer: 254 N

The man pushes the box with 310 N force at an angle of 55 degrees to the horizontal.

we can write this in terms of horizontal ( $F cos \theta$ )and vertical component ( $F sin\theta$ ).

Horizontal component: $F_H=310 \times cos (55^o)= 178 N$

Vertical component: $F_v=310 \times sin (55^o)= 254 N$

The vertical component would act towards the floor making the job more difficult to move the job.

Having just enough weight to achieve all three states of buoyancy with only minor adjustments in the water is the definition of:

eduard

Answer:

Proper weighting

Explanation:

Proper weighing involves the condition of a scuba diver that is fully geared having a near empty tank and the BCD emptied with a held breadth is expected to float at eye level

The fundamental of adequate or good buoyancy of a scuba diver is to ensure proper weighting when diving, With proper weighting, there is more control for the diver when a safety stop is required. There is less need to carry excess weight that increases drag and gas consumption.
