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>

Fill in the blanks about Newton’s First Law of Motion:
Afina-wow [57]

Objects want to continue doing what they’re doing because they are “lazy.” This is called law of inertia.

Newton's first law of motion states that an object at rest or uniform motion in a straight line will continue in that state unless it is being acted upon by an external force. This law is also called the law of inertia because it depends on mass.

<em>From the given question, we can </em><em>fill gaps </em><em>as follows;</em>

ANSWER AND I WILL BUY A CAR
Natali [406]
You are exerting 100N. Since there’s no NET force, then there must be exactly 100N pushing exactly back on your 100N to cancel it to exactly zero. Newton's first law states that whether a body is at rest or travelling in a straight line at a constant speed, it will remain at rest or continue to move in a straight line at a constant speed unless acted upon by a force.

A 3500 N is force is applied to a spring that has a spring of constant of k= 14000 N/m. How far from equilibrium will the spring
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

the spring be displaced by 25.0 cm

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

As we know that

F= -K × x

So,

x = \frac{-F}{K}

Now  

x = \frac{-3500}{14000} \\\\

= -0.250m

= 25.0 cm

Hence, the spring be displaced by 25.0 cm
