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>

Jack travelled 360 km at an average speed of 80 km/h. Elaine
diamong [38]

Answer:

Average speed of Elain = 60 km/h

Explanation:

Total Distance covered by Jack = 360km

Average Speed of Jack = 80 km/h

Time taken by Jack to complete his journey = Distance / Average speed = 360 km / 80 km/h

Time taken by Jack to complete his journey = 4.5 hours

As it is given the both Jack and Elain travelled the same amount of distance:

Total distance travelled by Elain = 360 km

It is given that Elain took 1.5 hourse more than Jack to cover the distance, so Time taken by Elain to cover the distance is = 4.5 hours + 1.5 hours = 6 hours

Average speed of Elain = Distance/ time = 360 km / 6 hours

Average speed of Elain = 60 km/h

Tomorrow i have a science test, could someone please fill me in on the water cycle?
Lorico [155]

the cycle of processes by which water circulates between the earth's oceans, atmosphere and land involving precipitation as rain and snow drainage in streams and rivers and return to the atmosphere by evaporation and transpiration.

Hope this gives you a little bit more information!

An electron is accelrated by a unifor electric field (1000v/m) pointing vertically upward. Use energy methods to get the magnitu
ExtremeBDS [4]

Explanation:

In the given situation two forces are working. These are:

1) Electric force (acting in the downward direction) = qE

2) weight (acting in the downward direction) = mg

Therefore, work done by all the forces = change in kinetic energy

Hence, qE \times S + mg \times S = 0.5 \times mv^{2}

     1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 1000 + 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times 9.8 \times (\frac{0.10}{100}) = 0.5 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times v^{2}

It is known that the weight of electron is far less compared to electric force. Therefore, we can neglect the weight  and the above equation will be as follows.

   (1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 1000) \times (\frac{0.10}{100}) = 0.5 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times v^{2&#10;}

         v = sqrt{\frac{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}{(0.5 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31})}

           = 592999 m/s

Since, the electron is travelling downwards it means that it looses the potential energy.
