Kate, a bungee jumper, wants to jump off the edge of a bridge that spans a river below. Kate has a mass m, and the surface of th

e bridge is a height h above the water. The bungee cord, which has length L when unstretched, will first straighten and then stretch as Kate falls. Assume the following: The bungee cord behaves as an ideal spring once it begins to stretch, with spring constant k. Kate doesn't actually jump but simply steps off the edge of the bridge and falls straight downward. Kate's height is negligible compared to the length of the bungee cord. Hence, she can be treated as a point particle. Use g for the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity.

Answer:

Point motion will eventually stops due to action of g exactly perpendicular...

Explanation:

If ignoring the air resistance, the magnitude of gravitational acceleration is already strong enough to stops the acceleration. As we know that, the spring constant of a bungee spring cord will be F = -k/x, where x is the stretched length and k is the spring constant of bungee cord. If F = ma = w = mg, the g = -m  k/x. Now we can clearly see that the value of g remains constant due to the fluctuating length of the cord as the motion progresses back and forth in SHM say from x1 to x2 and x2 to x1.

just olya [345]

Answer:

La escala del termómetro ''A'' es grados Celsius.

La escala del termómetro ''B'' es grados Fahrenheit.

Explanation:

Para hallar en qué escalas están los termómetros partimos de que la mezcla a la cuál se midió su temperatura mantuvo su temperatura constante.

Esto quiere decir que los termómetros están expresando la misma temperatura pero en una escala distinta.

Sabemos que dada una temperatura en grados Celsius ''C'' si la queremos convertir a grados Fahrenheit ''F'' debemos utilizar la siguiente ecuación :

F=(\frac{9}{5})C+32 (I)

Ahora, si reemplazamos y asumimos que la temperatura de 18° es en grados Celsius, entonces si reemplazamos C=18 en la ecuación (I) deberíamos obtener F=64.4 ⇒

F=(\frac{9}{5}).(18)+32=32.4+32=64.4

Efectivamente obtenemos el valor esperado. Finalmente, corroboramos que la temperatura del termómetro ''A'' está medida en grados Celsius y la temperatura del termómetro ''B'' en grados Fahrenheit.

The nose of an ultralight plane is pointed south, and its airspeed indicator shows 28 m/s . the plane is in a 18 m/s wind blowin
leva [86]
<span>Here I think you have to find the velocity in x and y components where x is east and y is north
 So as air speed indicator shows the negative speed in y component and adding it in
  air speed while multiplying with the direction component we will get the velocity as velocity is a vector quantity so direction is also required
 v=-28 m/s y + 18 m/s (- x/sqrt(2) - y/sqrt(2))
 solving
  v= -12.7 m/s x-40.7 m/s y
 if magnitude of velocity or speed is required then
  speed= sqrt(12.7^2 + 40.7^2)
 speed= 42.63 m/s
 if angle is asked
  angle = arctan (40.7/12.7)
 angle = 72.67 degrees south of west</span>

Rahul has 2 bulbs connected across two cells in a simple circuits shown. How can he make the bulbs glow dimmer?
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

in the parallel connection the light bulbs shine less than in the series connection

Explanation:

In a series circuit the current through the whole circuit is the same, therefore the power (brightness) of each bulb is

           P = i² R

where R is the resistance of each bulb and i the current of the circuit.

If we connect the light bulbs and the cells in parallel, the current in the circuit is the sum of the east that passes through each light bulb,

            i = i₁ + i₂

if the two light bulbs are the same

           i = 2 i₁

           i₁ = i / 2

so the power of each bulb is is

           P = i₁² R

           P = R i² / 4

           P = ¼ P_initial

Therefore we see that in the parallel connection the light bulbs shine less than in the series connection
