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>

If Mercury, moved two orbital paths closer to the sun: what would be different? List serval differences, ideas.......
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]
Well first of all, when it comes to orbits of the planets around
the sun, there's no such thing as "orbital paths", in the sense
of definite ("quantized") distances that the planets can occupy
but not in between.  That's the case with the electrons in an atom,
but a planet's orbit can be any old distance from the sun at all. 

If Mercury, or any planet, were somehow moved to an orbit closer
to the sun, then ...

-- its speed in orbit would be greater,

-- the distance around its orbit would be shorter,

-- its orbital period ("year") would be shorter,

-- the temperature everywhere on its surface would be higher,

-- if it has an atmosphere now, then its atmosphere would become
less dense, and might soon disappear entirely,

-- the intensity of x-rays, charged particles, and other forms of
solar radiation arriving at its surface would be greater.

A car with mass 1500 kg moves with constant velocity of 36 m/s. The driver sees a group of cows in front and he immediately step
Crazy boy [7]
From laws of motion:

S = ( \frac{v + u}{2} ) \times t
Where S is the distance/displacement (as you would call it) which is unknown
v = final velocity which is 0m/s (this is because the car stops)
u = initial velocity which is 36m/s (from the data given)
t = time taken for the distance to be covered and it is 6s


Substitute the values, hence:
S = ( \frac{0 + 36}{2} ) \times 6
S = (18) \times 6 \\  \\ S = 108m

But this is merely the distance he travelled in the 6 seconds he was trying to stop the car.

Therefore, the distance between the car and the cows = 160-108
Distance = 52m

The electric field strength E 0 E 0 is measured at a perpendicular distance R R from an infinitely large, thin sheet that contai
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

same value in R and 2R       E = E₀ = σ / 2ε₀

Explanation:

For this exercise we use Gauss's law

            Ф = E. dA = q_{int} /ε₀

We define a Gaussian surface with a cylinder with the base being parallel to the load sheet, so the electic field line and the normal line to the base are parallel and the scalar product is reduced to the algebraic product, in the parts the angle is 90º and the dot product is zero

As the sheet has two faces

           2E A = q_{int} /ε₀

The charge inside the cylinder is

           σ = q_{int} / A

           q_{int} = σ A

               

We substitute

           E = σ / 2ε₀

We see that this expression is independent of the distance, so it has the same value in R and 2R

             E = E₀ = σ / 2ε₀
