Answer:

See the explanation below

Explanation:

This problem can be better understood graphically, so in the attached image we will use a diagram of a positive displacement air pump.

We can see that when she pushes the plunger, we see that the volume decreases.

Answer:

The answer to your question is: vo = 25 m/s

Explanation:

data

a = -7.5 m/s²

d = 42 m

vf = 0 m/s

vo = ?

Formula

vf² = vo² - 2ad

Substitution

0² = vo² - 2(7.5)(42)

We clear vo from the equation

vo² = 2(7.5)(42)  

vo² = 630               simplifying

vo = 25 m/s            result

A stuntwoman is going to attempt a jump across a canyon that is 77 m wide. The ramp on the far side of the canyon is 25 m lower
liq [111]

initial speed of the stuntman is given as

v = 28 m/s

angle of inclination is given as

\theta = 15 degree

now the components of the velocity is given as

v_x = 28 cos15 = 27.04 m/s

v_y = 28 sin15 = 7.25 m/s

here it is given that the ramp on the far side of the canyon is 25 m lower than the ramp from which she will leave.

So the displacement in vertical direction is given as

\delta y = -25 m

\delta y = v_y * t + \frac{1}{2} at^2

-25 = 7.25 * t - \frac{1}{2}*9.8* t^2

by solving above equation we have

t = 3.12 s

Now in the above interval of time the horizontal distance moved by it is given by

d_x = v_x * t

d_x = 27.04 * 3.12 = 84.4 m

since the canyon width is 77 m which is less than the horizontal distance covered by the stuntman so here we can say that stuntman will cross the canyon.

At height h above the surface of Earth, the gravitational acceleration is What is h? Note: The radius of Earth is 6380 km.
rusak2 [61]

The acceleration of gravity is inversely proportional to
the square of the distance from Earth's center.

The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s² on the Earth's surface ...
6380 km from the center.

If the acceleration of gravity at 'h' is 4.9 m/s² ... 1/2 of what it is
on the surface, then the distance from the center is

                 (6380 x √2) =  9,023 km  (rounded) ,

and 'h' is the distance above the surface

                     = (9,023 - 6,380) =  2,643 km  (rounded) .

A space probe produces a radio signal pulse. If the pulse reaches Earth 12.3 seconds after it is emitted by the probe, what is t
adoni [48]

Answer:

Distance = 3.69 × 10^9 m

The distance from the probe to Earth is 3.69 × 10^9 m

Explanation:

Distance from the probe to the Earth can be derived using the simple motion formula;

Distance = speed × time .....1

Since a radio signal uses an electromagnetic wave to transfer signal, it has the same speed as the speed of light.

Speed of radio signal = speed of light = 3.0 × 10^8 m/s

time taken to reach the earth = 12.3 seconds

Substituting the values of speed and time into equation 1;

Distance = 3.0 × 10^8 m/s × 12.3 s

Distance = 36.9 × 10^8 m

Distance = 3.69 × 10^9 m

Note: all electromagnetic radiation have the same speed which is equal to 3.0 × 10^8 m/s
