When Janet leaves the platform, she's moving horizontally at 1.92 m/s. We assume that there's no air resistance, and gravity has no effect on horizontal motion. There's no horizontal force acting on Janet to make her move horizontally any faster or slower than 1.92 m/s.

She's in the air for 1.1 second before she hits the water.

Moving horizontally at 1.92 m/s for 1.1 second, she sails out away from the platform

(1.92 m/s) x (1.1 sec) = <em>2.112 meters</em>

suppose a car manufacturer tested its cars for front end collsion by hauling them up on a crane and dropping them from a certain

IRINA_888 [86]

Initial height: 66.5 m

Explanation:

The problem can be solved by using the principle of conservation of energy.

If we neglect air resistance, the total mechanical energy of the car is conserved during the fall, therefore we can write:

$K_i + U_i = K_f + U_f$

where :

$K_i = 0$ is the kinetic energy of the car at the top (it starts from rest)

$U_i = mgh$ is the gravitational potential energy of the car at the top, with:

m = the mass of the car

g = the acceleration of gravity

h = the heigth of the car

$K_f = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$ is the kinetic energy of the car just before hitting the ground, with

v = 130 km/h final speed of the car

$U_f = 0$ is the gravitational potential energy of the car at the bottom

Re-arranging the equation, we find

$mgh=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

and we have:

$g=9.8 m/s^2\\v = 130 km/h = 36.1 m/s$

Solving for h, we find the initial height of the car:

$h=\frac{v^2}{2g}=\frac{36.1^2}{2(9.8)}=66.5 m$

When cars are equipped with flexible bumpers, they will bounce off each other during low-speed collisions, thus causing less dam

Len [333]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the heavier car m_1 = 1750 kg

Mass of the lighter car m_2 = 1350 kg

The speed of the lighter car just after collision can be represented as follows

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2\\\\v_2=\frac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2-m_1v_1}{m_2}$

$v_2=\frac{(1850)(1.4)+(1450)(-1.10)-(1850)(0.250)}{1450} \\\\=\frac{2590+(-1595)-(462.5)}{1450} \\\\=\frac{2590-1595-462.5}{1450} \\\\=\frac{532.5}{1450}\\\\=0.367m/s$

b) the change in the combined kinetic energy of the two-car system during this collision

$\Delta K.E=(\frac{1}{2} m_1v_1^2+\frac{1}{2} m_2v_2^2)-(\frac{1}{2} m_1u_1^2+\frac{1}{2} m_2u_2^2)\\\\=\frac{1}{2} (m_1(v_1^2-u_1^2)+m_2(v_2^2-u_2^2))$

substitute the value in the equation above

$=\frac{1}{2} (1850((0.250)^2-(1.4)^2)+(1450((0.3670)^2-(-1.10)^2)\\\\=\frac{1}{2}(11850(0.0625-1.96)+(1450(0.1347)-(1.21))\\\\= \frac{1}{2}(11850(-1.8975))+(1450(-1.0753))\\\\=\frac{1}{2} (-3510.375+(-1559.185)\\\\=\frac{1}{2} (-5069.56)\\\\=-2534.78J$

Hence, the change in combine kinetic energy is -2534.78J

The visible spectrum refers to the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that we ________.

yKpoI14uk [10]

<h2>Answer: can see</h2>

Explanation:

The portion visible by the human eye of the electromagnetic spectrum is between 380 nm (violet-blue) and 780 nm (red) approximately. Which means this part of the spectrum is located between ultraviolet light and infrared light.

Note the fact only part of the whole electromagnetic spectrum is visible to humans is because the receptors in our eyes are only sensitive to these wavelengths.

Therefore:

At t=0, a particle leaves the origin with a velocity of 9.0 m/s in the positive y direction and moves in the xy plane with a con

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

e.26m/s

Explanation:

Vf=Vi+at (1)

Vf=9j+(2i-4j)t

X= X₀+at

now, in the i direction

15=O+2t or t=7.5 when x position is 15

Lets put that into the (1) equation, solve for Vf.

Vf=9j+(2i-4j)7.5

Vf= 15i - 21j

Speed= $\sqrt{xcomponent^2 + ycomponent^2}$

Vf= 25.8 m/s

(b) If TH = 500°C, TC = 20°C, and Wcycle = 200 kJ, what are QH and QC, each in kJ?

BigorU [14]

Answer:

QC = 122 KJ

QH = 2.64 x 122 = 322 KJ

Explanation:

TH = 500 Degree C = 500 + 273 = 773 K

TC = 20 degree C = 20 + 273 = 293 K

W cycle = 200 KJ

Use the formula for the work done in a cycle

Wcycle = QH - QC

200 = QH - QC ..... (1)

Usse

TH / TC = QH / QC

773 / 293 = QH / QC

QH / QC = 2.64

QH = 2.64 QC Put it in equation (1)

200 = 2.64 QC - QC

QC = 122 KJ

So, QH = 2.64 x 122 = 322 KJ
