You took a running leap off a high diving platform. You were running at 3.1 m/s and hit the water 2.4 seconds later. How high wa

s the platform, and how far from the edge of the platform did you hit the water? Assume your initial velocity is horizontal. Ignore air resistance.

The distance you free-fall from rest is  D = (1/2) (g) (T²) <== memorize this

Height of the platform = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (2.4 sec)²

Height = (4.9 m/s²) (5.76 s²)

Height = (4.9/5.76) meters

Height = 28.2 meters (a VERY high platform ... about 93 ft off the water !)

Without air-resistance, your horizontal speed doesn't change.  It's constant.  Traveling 3.1 m/s for 2.4 sec, you cover (3.1 m/s x 2/4 s) = 7.4 m horizontally.

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

decrease in energy of the transferred charge

= Voltage x charge

= 2.86 x 10⁹ x 23.1

= 66.067 x 10⁹ J

the final speed of the automobile be V

1/2 m v² = 66.067 x 10⁹

v² = 66.067 x 10⁹ x 2 / 1519

= .08698 x10⁹

= 87 x 10⁶

v = 9.32 x 10³ m / s

The lengthening of a transmitted signal's wavelength and/or a decrease in its frequency, which indicates that the object is movi
andreyandreev [35.5K]
Both the effects (l<span>engthening of the transmitted signal's wavelength and decrease in its frequency) indicates that the object is moving away from the observer, and this phenomenon is called Doppler effect.

In fact, when the object is moving away from the observer, the relative distance between two consecutive crests of the wave emitted by the object increases to the observer eyes, since he's moving away. This means that the wavelength appears larger, and since the frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength, the frequency appears smaller.</span>

A bullet is fired with a muzzle velocity of 1178 ft/sec from a gun aimed at an angle of 26° above the horizontal. Find the horiz
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

1058.78 ft/sec

Explanation:

Horizontal Component of Velocity; This is the velocity of a body that act on the horizontal axis. I.e Velocity along x-axis

The horizontal velocity of a body can be calculated as shown below.\

Vh = Vcos∅.......................... Equation 1

Where Vh = horizontal component of the velocity, V = The velocity acting between the horizontal and the vertical axis, ∅ = Angle the velocity make with the horizontal.

Given: V = 1178 ft/sec, ∅ = 26°

Substitute into equation 1

Vh = 1178cos26

Vh = 1178(0.8988)

Vh = 1058.78 ft/sec

Hence the horizontal component of the velocity = 1058.78 ft/sec

A ball thrown horizontally at 12.6 m/s from the roof of a building lands 20.0 m from the base of the building
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

1.59 seconds

12.3 meters

but if you are wise you will read the entire answer.

Explanation:

This is a good question -- if not a bit unusual. You should try and understand the details. It will come in handy.

Time

<u>Given</u>

a = 0 This is the critical point. There is no horizontal acceleration.

d = 20 m

v = 12.6 m/s

<u>Formula</u>

d = vi * t + 1/2at^2

<u>Solution</u>

Since the acceleration is 0, the formula reduces to

d = vi * t

20 = 12.6 * t

t = 20 / 12.6

t = 1.59 seconds.

It takes 1.59 seconds to hit the ground

Height of the building

<u>Givens</u>

t = 1.59 sec

vi = 0     Another critical point. The beginning speed vertically is 0

a = 9.8 m/s^2   The acceleration is vertical.

<u>Formula</u>

d = vi*t + 1/2 a t^2

<u>Solution</u>

d = 1/2 a*t^2

d = 1/2 * 9.8 * 1.59^2

d = 12.3 meters.

The two vi's are not to be confused. The horizontal vi is a number other other 0 (in this case 12.6 m/s horizontally)

The other vi is a vertical speed. It is 0.
