Answer:

4.0 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the diver is the motion of a projectile: so we need to find the horizontal and the vertical component of the initial velocity.

Let's consider the horizontal motion first. This motion occurs with constant speed, so the distance covered in a time t is

d=v_x t

where here we have

d = 3.0 m is the horizontal distance covered

vx is the horizontal velocity

t = 1.3 s is the duration of the fall

Solving for vx,

v_x = \frac{d}{t}=\frac{3.0 m}{1.3 s}=2.3 m/s

Now let's consider the vertical motion: this is an accelerated motion with constant acceleration g=9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground. The vertical position at time t is given by

y(t) = h + v_y t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

where

h = 4.0 m is the initial height

vy is the initial vertical velocity

We know that at t = 1.3 s, the vertical position is zero: y = 0. Substituting these numbers, we can find vy

0=h+v_y t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2\\v_y = \frac{0.5gt^2-h}{t}=\frac{0.5(9.8 m/s^2)(1.3 s)^2-4.0 m}{1.3 s}=3.3 m/s

So now we can find the magnitude of the initial velocity:

v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}=\sqrt{(2.3 m/s)^2+(3.3 m/s)^2}=4.0 m/s

An 85 kg object is moving at a constant speed of 15 m/s in a circular path, which has a radius of 20 meters. What centripetal fo
stira [4]

Centripetal force needed to move mass 'm' in a circle with radius 'r' at speed 'v' is

F = m · v² / r

F = (85 kg) ·(15 m/s)² / (20 m)

F = (85kg · 225m²) / (20 m·s²)

F = (85 · 225 / 20)  (kg·m² / m·s²)

F = 956.25  kg·m/s²

F = 956.25 Newtons

Un niño de 24 kilogramos se sienta en el punto ap(2,5) y otro de 12kg en el punto bp(8.12)
yanalaym [24]

Answer: the equilibrium point or center of mass is (4, 7.33)


Explanation:


1) Physicial principles:

  • The equilibrium point is the center of mass.
  • Call Xc and Yc the coordinates of the center of mass (Xc, Yc), then:
  • Xc is given by the equation Xc = (m₁X₁ + m₂X₂) / (m₁ + m₂)
  • Yx is given by the equation Yc = (m₁Y₁ + m₂Y₂) / (m₁ + m₂)

2) Data:

  • m₁ = 24 kg
  • X₁ = 2
  • Y₁ = 5
  • m₂ = 12 kg
  • X₂ = 8
  • Y₂ = 12

3) Solution:

  • Xc = (m₁X₁ + m₂X₂) / (m₁ + m₂) = (24×2 + 12×8) / (24 + 12) = 4
  • Yc = (m₁Y₁ + m₂Y₂) / (m₁ + m₂) = (24×5 + 12×12) / (24 + 12) = 7.33

Answer: the equilibrium point or center of mass is (4, 7.33)
