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

What is the efficiency of a tractor that has a work output of 300j and a work input of 400j
Sauron [17]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

= 75 %

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

To measure efficiency of a machine, compare the work output to work input.

Efficiency = Work output/ work output × 100 %

                = 300/400 × 100

                = 75 %

A small glass bead has been charged to + 30.0 nC . A small metal ball bearing 2.60 cm above the bead feels a 1.80×10−2 N downwar
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

The charge on the ball bearing 4.507 × 10^-8 C

Explanation:

From Coulomb's law

F = kq1q2/r²

make q2 the subject

q2 = Fr²/kq1

q2 = (1.8×10^-2 × 0.026²) ÷ (9×10^9 × 30×10^-9)

q2 = 4.507 × 10^-8 C

An object that is 3 times higher than another object of the same mass will
uranmaximum [27]

Answer: I feel that 3 is the answer

Explanation: Let there be 2 objects, A and B

A is at height of 5m whereas B is at height of 15m

so over here let the gravitational potential energy of A be x

and since B is 3 times higher than A B=3x

Since, earth is considered to be the point where gravitational potenial is 0

So hence forth and object 3 times up will have 3 times the gravitational potential energy of A
