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

For each of the following, describe the relationship as directly or inversely proportional:
Maksim231197 [3]
The relationships can best be described as follows:
As frequency increases, wavelength decreases. <span>The greater the </span>energy<span>, the larger the frequency </span>and<span> the shorter (smaller) the </span>wavelength<span>. </span>

<span>a) wavelength vs. frequency = inversely proportional
b) wavelength vs. energy = inversely proportional
c) frequency vs. energy = directly proportional

Hope this answers the questions. Have a nice day. Feel free to ask more questions.</span>
