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

How do objects become negatively charged using the contact method
Kamila [148]

If a negative object is used to charge a neutral object, then both objects become charged negatively. In order for the neutral sphere to become negative, it must gain electrons from the negatively charged rod. A metal sphere is electrically neutral. It is touched by a positively charged metal rod.

What are one of the ways the atmosphere recycle gases through interactions with the biosphere?
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

Though the process photosynthesis

Explanation:

One of the important ways by which the atmosphere recycle gases through interactions with the the biosphere is by photosynthesis.

The biosphere is the living component on the earth. The atmosphere is the gaseous envelope round the earth.

  • Photosynthesis is the process whereby green plants manufacture their food using carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight to produce glucose and oxygen gas.
  • This way, atmospheric carbon dioxide is exchanged for oxygen gas.

This way, there is a sustained interaction between the atmosphere and biosphere.

A mountain-climber friend with a mass of 74 kg ponders the idea of attaching a helium-filled balloon to himself to effectively r
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

V=16.65 m^3

Explanation:

The volume of the balloon can be find compared the force in each cases so:

reduce 25% from 74kg

R=\frac{25}{100}*74kg=18.5kg

So the net force uproad on the balloon is

F_b=18.5kg*g

Now the density of the both gases air and helium are different however the volume is the same change offcorss the mass so:

P_h=\frac{m}{V}=0.179 kg/m^3

P_A=1.29 kg/m^3

F_b=F_A-F_H

F_b=m_a*g-m_h*g

m=P/V

18.5kg*g=(1.29kg/m^3-0.179kg/m^3*)V*g

V=\frac{18.5kg}{(1.29-0.179)kg/m^3}

V=16.65 m^3
