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>

You should check your battery ___________.
podryga [215]

One should check the battery every week.

A battery if not maintained properly can cause it to die earlier or get damaged. The reasons why should the battery be checked regularly is that due to improper management of the battery and also the weather conditions, the battery usually gets corroded easily and the battery won't be able to work properly.

The connections must be checked properly so that the battery gets charged properly and should not die while driving.

What is the force exerted on a charge of 2.5 µC moving perpendicular through a magnetic field of 3.0 × 102 T with a velocity of
OverLord2011 [107]

Given:

B = 3 \times 10^{2} T

V=5 \times 10^{3} \frac{m}{s}

q = 2.5 × 10^{-6} C

α = 90

To find:

Force = ?

Formula used:

Force on the moving charge is given by,

F = q V B sin α

Where F = force exerted on moving charge

V = velocity of charge

q = charge

α = angle between direction of V and B

Solution:

F = q V B sin α

Where F = force exerted on moving charge

V = velocity of charge

q = charge

α = angle between direction of V and B

F = 2.5 \times 10^{-6} \times 3 \times 10^{2}  \times 5 \times 10^{3}

F = 37.5 × 10^{-1}

F = 3.75 Newton

Thus, the force acting on the moving charge is 3.75 Newton.
