Armand hands the rock to Pierre, who is standing next to the trampoline. Explain how Armand moves, in terms of the forces acting

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Armando's weight ,restored force created by the trampoline

a harmonic movement within the trampoline

Explanation:

In a trampoline we have two forces that actuate Armando's weight and the restored force created by the trampoline that depends on the deformation distance of the elastic canvas.

Amando's weight is vertical and directed towards the center of the Earth and has a constant value, this weight is balanced with the elastic force the springboard exerts on Armando in a vertical direction.

In general, when entering the trampoline, a small jump is made, this creates a speed that deforms the canvas until the speed is reduced to zero, at this point the elastic force is greater than the weight and the boy begins to climb, After the boy leaves the canvas he meets only the force of gravity and his speed decreases to zero and begins his fall.

In Summary Armando is in a harmonic movement within the trampoline

What is Marie's instantaneous speed at 20 minutes in miles/min?

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

0.25miles/min

Explanation:

Instantaneous speed of a person or an object is its speed at a particular moment usually at a period of time.

The speedometer of a car reports the instantaneous speed.

It can be mathematically expressed as;

Instantaneous speed = $\frac{distance}{time}$

At 20min the distance covered is 5miles;

Instantaneous speed = $\frac{5 miles }{20mins}$ = 0.25miles/min

A steel ball rolls with a constant velocity on a tabletop 0.950 m high it rolls off and hit the ground 0.352 m from the edge of

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

0.799 m/s if air resistance is negligible.

Explanation:

For how long is the ball in the air?

Acceleration is constant. The change in the ball's height $\Delta h$ depends on the square of the time:

$\displaystyle \Delta h = \frac{1}{2} \;g\cdot t^{2} + v_0\cdot t$ ,

where

$\Delta h$ is the change in the ball's height.
$g$ is the acceleration due to gravity.
$t$ is the time for which the ball is in the air.
$v_0$ is the initial vertical velocity of the ball.

The height of the ball decreases, so this value should be the opposite of the height of the table relative to the ground. $\Delta h = -0.950\;\text{m}$ .
Gravity pulls objects toward the earth, so $g$ is also negative. $g \approx -9.81\;\text{m}\cdot\text{s}^{-2}$ near the surface of the earth.
Assume that the table is flat. The vertical velocity of the ball will be zero until it falls off the edge. As a result, $v_0 = 0$ .

Solve for $t$ .

$\displaystyle \Delta h = \frac{1}{2} \;g\cdot t^{2} + v_0\cdot t$ ;

$\displaystyle -0.950 = \frac{1}{2} \times (-9.81) \cdot t^{2}$ ;

$\displaystyle t^{2} =\frac{-0.950}{1/2 \times (-9.81)}$ ;

$t \approx 0.440315\;\text{s}$ .

What's the initial horizontal velocity of the ball?

Horizontal displacement of the ball: $\Delta x = 0.352\;\text{m}$ ;
Time taken: $\Delta t = 0.440315\;\text{s}$

Assume that air resistance is negligible. Only gravity is acting on the ball when it falls from the tabletop. The horizontal velocity of the ball will not change while the ball is in the air. In other words, the ball will move away from the table at the same speed at which it rolls towards the edge.

$\begin{aligned}\text{Rolling Velocity}&=\text{Horizontal Velocity} \\&= \text{Average Horizontal Velocity}\\ &=\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}=\frac{0.352\;\text{m}}{0.440315\;\text{s}}=0.0799\;\text{m}\cdot\text{s}^{-1}\end{aligned}$ .

Both values from the question come with 3 significant figures. Keep more significant figures than that during the calculation and round the final result to the same number of significant figures.
