Eddie the eagle, british olympic ski jumper, is attempting his most mediocre jump yet. after leaving the end of the ski ramp, he

lands downhill at a point that is displaced 72.1 m horizontally from the edge of the ramp. his velocity just before landing is 33.0 m/s and points in a direction 30.0$^\circ$ below the horizontal. neglect any effects due to air resistance or lift. what was the magnitude of eddie's initial velocity as he left the ramp?

When he lands his horizontal velocity is 
<span>28 cos40 = 21.45 m/s </span>

<span>the time in flight comes from </span>
<span>x = Vht </span>
<span>58.8 = 21.45t </span>
<span>t = 2.74 seconds </span>

<span>his vertical velocity at landing is </span>
<span>28 sin40 = -18 m/s </span>

<span>his vertical velocity equation is </span>
<span>v = V0 - gt </span>
<span>-18 = V0 - 9.81(2.74) </span>
<span>V0 = -18 + 9.81(2.74) </span>
<span>V0 = 8.88 </span>

<span>his velocity magnitude was </span>
<span>v = (8.88^2 + 21.45^2)^½ </span>
<span>v = 23.2 m/s ANSWER </span>

<span>his initial direction was </span>
<span>tanθ = 8.88/21.45 </span>
<span>θ = 22.5 degrees above the horizontal ANSWER </span>

<span>to find the time to the flight apex from launch </span>
<span>v = gt </span>
<span>8.88 = 9.81t </span>
<span>t = 0.905 s </span>

<span>in 0.905 s Eddie has risen how far above the edge </span>
<span>y = ½(9.81)(0.905^2) </span>
<span>y = 4 m </span>

<span>the remainder of the flight is all drop and takes 2.74 - 0.905 = 1.85 seconds </span>

<span>in 1.85 seconds he drops </span>
<span>y = ½(9.81)(1.85^2) </span>
<span>y = 16.7 m </span>

<span>so the height from the edge to the landing point is </span>
<span>16.7 - 4 = 12.7 m ANSWER</span>

How are the 1st and 2nd Laws of Motion connected?
yuradex [85]

Answer:

Newton's First Law states that an object with no net force acting on it remains at rest or moves with constant velocity in a straight line. Newton's Second Law states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force on the object and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

What about electrons allow them to be some of the fastest traveling subatomic particles?
rewona [7]
They're extremely small, occupying a very small volume, to the point where something like wind resistance that we think about with accelerating large objects like planes becomes completely irrelevant. A rogue electron can fly straight through most solid objects through the "empty space" between atoms. Their mass is also extremely small, 9.1*10⁻³¹ kg, making them relatively easy to accelerate to near light speeds (in comparison to other forms of matter) as it takes very little energy to set them into motion. Particle accelerators accelerate electrons to 99% of the speed of light in the real world every day.

If the input force on a simple machine is 2 N and the output force is 4 N, what is it’s mechanical advantage?
ivann1987 [24]

Explanation:

Given that,

Input force on a simple machine, F = 2 N

The output force on a simple machines, F' = 4 N

The ratio of the output force to the input force of any simple machines is called its mechanical advantage. Mathematically, it is given by :

m=\dfrac{F'}{F}

Putting the value of F and F' in above equation. We get :

m=\dfrac{4}{2}

m = 2

So, the mechanical advantage of the simple machines is 2. Hence, this is the required solution.

11. A bowling ball has a mass of 7 kg and a velocity of 3 m/s.<br> (A) What is the ball's momentum?
DaniilM [7]

Answer: 21 kg x m/s

Momentum can be found using the equation p = mv, or momentum = mass times velocity.

Therefore, to find the momentum of the bowling bowl, you can plug the mass and velocity values into the equation to get p = (7kg)(3m/s)

Solve the equation to get a momentum of 21kg x m/s

I hope I could help :)
