You throw a rock horizontally out of a 7th story window. You time that it takes 3.7 seconds to hit the ground, and measure that

it hit the ground 115 m from the base of the building. What is the height of the 7th floor window?

Since we are only looking at the vertical height, we can use the free fall equation to find the height:
h = 0.5*g*t^2, where h is height in m, g is acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s^2), and t is time in seconds
h = 0.5*(9.81 m/s^2)*(3.7 s)^2
h = 67.15 m
Therefore, the 7th floor window is 67.15 m above ground level.

A physicist drives through a stop light. When he is pulled over, he tells the police officer that the Doppler shift made the red
Orlov [11]

The physicist traveling, according to his own testimony at -6.6 × 10⁷ m/s.

<h3>How fast was the physicist traveling, according to his own testimony?</h3>

Using the formula for doppler shift for light,

λ' = λ√[(1 + v/c)/(1 - v/c)] where

  • λ = wavelength of source,
  • λ' = wavelength of observer,
  • v = speed of source and
  • c = speed of light

Given that the driver is moving away from the stop light, we take the driver as the source. Since, the Doppler shift made the red light of wavelength 650nm appear green to him, with a wavelength of 520nm. we have

  • λ' = wavelength of source = 650 nm,
  • λ' = wavelength of observer = 520 nm

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

λ' = λ√[(1 + v/c)/(1 - v/c)]

520 nm = 650 nm√[(1 + v/c)/(1 - v/c)]

520/650 = √[(1 + v/c)/(1 - v/c)]

0.8 = √[(1 + v/c)/(1 - v/c)]

Squaring both sides, we have

0.8² = (1 + v/c)/(1 - v/c)

0.64 = (1 + v/c)/(1 - v/c)

0.64(1 - v/c) = (1 + v/c)

0.64 - 0.64v/c = 1 + v/c

0.64 - 1 = v/c + 0.64v/c

-0.36 = 1.64v/c

-0.2195 = v/c

v = -0.22c

v = -0.22 × 3 × 10⁸ m/s

v = -0.66 × 10⁸ m/s

v = -6.6 × 10⁷ m/s

So, the physicist traveling, according to his own testimony at -6.6 × 10⁷ m/s.

A car that weighs 1.0 x 10^4 N is initially moving at a speed of 38 km/h when the brakes are applied and the car is brought to a
hram777 [196]

Answer:

Part a) Force on car = 2833.84 Newtons

Part b) Time to stop the car = 3.8 seconds

Part c) Factor for stopping distance is 4.

Part d) Factor for stopping time is 1.

Explanation:

The deceleration produced when the car is brought to rest in 20 meters can be found by third equation of kinematics as

v^2=u^2+2as

where

v = final speed of the car ( = 0 in our case since the car stops)

u = initial speed of the car = 38 km/hr =\frac{38\times 1000}{3600}=10.56m/s

a = deceleration produces

s = distance in which the car stops

Applying the given values we get

0^2=10.56^2+2\times a\times 20\\\\a=\frac{0-10.56^2}{2\times 20}\\\\\therefore a=-2.78m/s^2

Now the force can be obtained using newton's second law as

Force=\frac{Weight}{g}\times a

Applying values we get

Force=\frac{1.0\times 10^4}{9.81}\times -2.78\\\\\therefore F=-2833.84Newtons

The negative direction indicates that the force is opposite to the motion of the object.

Part b)

The time required to stop the car can be found using the first equation of kinematics as

v=u+at with symbols having the same meanings

Applying values we get

0=10.56-2.78\times t\\\\\therefore t=\frac{10.56}{2.78}=3.8seconds

Part c)

From the developed relation of stopping distance we can see that the for same force( Same acceleration) the stopping distance is proportional to the square of the initial speed thus doubling the initial speed increases the stopping distance 4 times.

Part d)

From the relation of stopping time and the initial speed we can see that the stopping distance is proportional initial speed thus if we double the initial speed the stopping time also doubles.

Identify some sports or activities you can do to improve your overall health and explain how physical activity can improve your
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

soccer

Explanation:

soccer can inprove your health because you use all parts of your body playing it. You use your legs because you are running and you use your arms for doing throw ins. Soccer is also good for you because you are not playing for too long. Usually one soccer game is only 1 hour.

Hope this helps

The jumping gait of the kangaroo is efficient because energy is stored in the stretch of stout tendons in the legs; the kangaroo
Anna [14]

Answer:

the period T of whole motion should be twice the value for half at he bottom so T is 0.2sec.

w is angular frequency

formula:2π/T

now k is spring constant

F/R-->mw²

putting values:70*(2π/0.2)²

=4.9x10⁶

so we can say that SHM is not affected by the amplitude of the bounce.
