A physics professor did daredevil stunts in his spare time. His last stunt was an attempt to jump across a river on a motorcycle

. The takeoff jump was inclined at 53.0 degrees, the river was 40.0 m wide, and the far bank was 15.0m lower than the top of the ramp. The river itself was 100 m below the ramp. You can ignore air resistance.
a. What should his speed have been at the top of the ramp to have just made it to the edge of the far bank?
b. If his speed was only half the value found in (a), where did he land?

Answer:

a) 17.8 m/s

b) 28.3 m

Explanation:

Given:

angle A = 53.0°

sinA = 0.8

cosA = 0.6

width of the river,d = 40.0 m,

the far bank was 15.0 m lower than the top of the ramp h = 15.0 m,

The river itself was 100 m below the ramp H = 100 m,

(a) find speed v

vertical displacement

-h= vsinA\times t-gt^2/2

putting values h=15 m, v=0.8

-15 = 0.8vt - 4.9t^2  ............. (1)

horizontal displacement d = vcosA×t = 0.6×v ×t

so v×t = d/0.6 = 40/0.6

plug it into (1) and get

-15 = 0.8\times40/0.6 - 4.9t^2

solving for t we get

t = 3.734 s

also, v = (40/0.6)/t = 40/(0.6×3.734) =  17.8 m/s

(b) If his speed was only half the value found in (a), where did he land?

v = 17.8/2 = 8.9 m/s

vertical displacement = -H =v sinA t - gt^2/2

⇒ 4.9t^2 - 8.9\times0.8t - 100 = 0

t = 5.30 s

then

d =v×cosA×t = 8.9×0.6×5.30= 28.3 m

Find the average force exerted by the bat on the ball if the two are in contact for 0.00129 s. Answer in units of N.
Semmy [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

time of contact between bat and ball is t=0.00129 s

suppose u is the incoming velocity and v is the final velocity after collision

m=mass\ of\ ball

Impulse exerted is given by change in momentum of the particle.

Initial momentum P_i=m\times u

Final momentum P_f=m\times v

Change in momentum \Delta P=P_i-P_f

Impulse    J=F_{avg}\cdot t=\Delta P

J=F_{avg}\cdot t=m(u-v)

F_{avg}=\frac{m(v-u)}{t}

F_{avg}=775.2\times m(v-u)\ N

A ball falls off of a 3m tall shelf. How long will it take for the
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

0.8s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Height of shelf  = 3m

Unknown:

Time it will take to hit the ground  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression below;

         x  = ut + \frac{1}{2} gt²  

x is the height

u is the initial velocity  = 0m/s

g is the acceleration due to gravity  = 9.8m/s²

t is the time taken  = ?

Now insert the parameters and solve for t;

    3  = (0 x t) +( \frac{1}{2} x 9.8 x t²)

    3 = 4.9t²

       t² = 0.6

       t = 0.8s
