Answer:

The maximum speed of the jumper is 54.2m/s

The spring constant of the rope is

K=9.19KN/m

Explanation:

Step one

According to hook's law the applied force F is proportional to the extension e provided the elasticity is maintained

Step two

Given that

mass= 50kg

Height of bridge h=150m

Extention e=4m

Step three

To determine the maximum speed of the jumper

Since he is going with gravity we assume g=9.81m/s²

And we apply the equation of motion

V²=U²+2gh

where u= initial velocity of the jumper =0

h=height of bridge

Step four

Substituting we have

V²=0²+2*9.81*150

V²=2943

V=√2943

V=54.2m/s

Step five

To solve for the spring constant

We have to equate to potential energy of the jumper to the energy stored in the spring

Potential energy of the jumper =mgh

Energy stored in the spring =1/2ke²

Hence mgh=1/2ke²

Making k subject of formula we have

K=2mgh/e²

Substituting our data into the expression we have

K=2*50*9.81*150/4²

K=147150/16

K=9196.9N/m

K=9.19KN/m

Which of the following represents an upright image? <br> A. -do<br> B. +m<br> C. -m<br> D. +do
Tom [10]

Answer:

B. +m

Explanation:

The magnification of an image is defined as the ratio between the size of the image and of the object:

m = \frac{y'}{y}

where we have

y' = size of the image

y = size of the object

There are two possible situations:

- When m is positive, y' has same sign as y: this means that the image image is upright

- When m is negative, y' has opposite sign to y: this means that the image is upside down

Therefore, the correct option representing an upright image is

B. +m

Explain how you think an asteroid impact could affect the tilt of Earth’s axis. Explain how this effect would change Earth’s sea
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

An asteroid impact could affect the tilt of the Earth due to the force it applies onto the planet. This would change Earth's seasons due to the fact that Earth's tilt causes seasons.

Enrico Fermi (1901–1954) was a famous physicist who liked to pose what are now known as Fermi problems, in which several assumpt
Katarina [22]

Answer:

Explanation:

(a)

Since the earth is assumed to be a sphere.

Volume of atmosphere = volume of (earth +atm osphere) — volume of earth

= \frac{4}{3}\pi(6400+ 50)^3 -  \frac{4}{3}\pi (6400)&#10;^3\\\\=  \frac{4}{3}\pi(6192125000) km’^3\\= 2.6\times 10^{19} m^3

Hence the volume of atmosphere is 2.6\times 10^{19} m^3

(b)

Write the ideal gas equation as foll ows:

PV = nRT\\\\n\frac{0.20atm\times 2.6\times10^{19} m^3}{0.08206L\, atm/mok\, K \times (15+273+15)K}\times \frac{1L}{10^{-3}m^3}\\\\= 2.20\times 10^{20} moles

no.\, of\, molecules = 2.20\times 10^{20} moles \times \frac{6.022\times10^{23}\,molecules}{1mole}= 13.3\times10^{43} molecules&#10;

Hence the required molecules is 13.3\times10^{43} molecules&#10;

(c)

Write the ideal gas equation as follows:

PV =nRT&#10;\\\\n=\frac{1.0 atm \times 0.5L&#10;}{0.08206 L\, atm/mol\,K \times (37 +273.1 5)K} = 0.0196 moles

no.\, of\, molecules = 0.0196 moles \times\frac{6.022\times10^{23} molecules}&#10;{Imole}= 1.2\times 10^{23} molecules

Hence the required molecules in Caesar breath is 1.2\times 10^{23} molecules

(d)

Volume fraction in Caesar last breath is as follows:  

Fraction,\, X =\frac{12\times 10 molecules}{13.3\times 10^{43} \,molecules}= 9.0\times 10\, molecule/air\, molecule}

(e)

Since the volume capacity of the human body is 500 mL.

Volume\, of\, Caesar\, nreath\, inhale\, is =\frac{ 12\times 10^{22}\, molecules}{breath}\times \frac{9.0\times10^{-23} molecule}{air\, molecule}\\\\= 1.08 molecule/breath

Pulsars "blink" because they _____.
rosijanka [135]
A pulsar, or a pulsing star, is a highly magnetized neutron star that emits a beam of electromagnetic radiation. So they blink when they are rotating because the beam of radiation they emit can only be seen when it is facing the Earth.
Hope this helps.
