How far from the base of the platform does she land?

Physics
1 answer:
seropon [69]3 years ago
3 0

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>

Electronic flash units for camera contain a capacitor for storing the energy used to produce the flash. In one such unit, the fl
nadezda [96]

Answer:

420J

Explanation:

Power is the time rate of change in energy. Power is the ratio of energy to time. The S.I unit of power is in watts.

Given that the flash lasts for 1/675 s, power output is 2.7 * 10⁵ W. Hence:

Power = Energy / time

Substituting:

2.7 * 10⁵ W = Energy / (1/675)

Energy = 2.7 * 10⁵ W * 1/675 = 400J

Therefore the energy emitted as light is 400J.

Since the conversion of electric energy to light is 95% efficient, hence the energy stored as electrical energy is:

Energy(capacitor) = 5% of 400J + 400J = 0.05*400 + 400

Energy(capacitor) = 420J

In 1976, the SR-71A, flying at 20 km altitude (T = –56 0C), set the official jet-powered aircraft speed record of 3530 km/hr (21
Lapatulllka [165]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the calculation of the speed of sound, the calculation of the Mach number and finally the calculation of the temperature at the front stagnation point. We will calculate the speed in international units as well as the temperature. With these values we will calculate the speed of the sound and the number of Mach. Finally we will calculate the temperature at the front stagnation point.

The altitude is,

z = 20km

And the velocity can be written as,

V = 3530km/h (\frac{1000m}{1km})(\frac{1h}{3600s})

V = 980.55m/s

From the properties of standard atmosphere at altitude z = 20km temperature is

T = 216.66K

k = 1.4

R = 287 J/kg

Velocity of sound at this altitude is

a = \sqrt{kRT}

a = \sqrt{(1.4)(287)(216.66)}

a = 295.049m/s

Then the Mach number

Ma = \frac{V}{a}

Ma = \frac{980.55}{296.049}

Ma = 3.312

So front stagnation temperature

T_0 = T(1+\frac{k-1}{2}Ma^2)

T_0 = (216.66)(1+\frac{1.4-1}{2}*3.312^2)

T_0 = 689.87K

Therefore the temperature at its front stagnation point is 689.87K

A pendulum with a length of 2 m has a period of 2.8 s. What is the period of a pendulum with a length of 8 m
Ugo [173]

Answer:

P = 2 pi (L / g)^1/2

P2 / P1 = (8 / 2)^1/2 = 2

The period would be twice as long or 5.6 sec.

A BODY STARTING FROM REST MOVES WITH CONSTANT ACCELERATON. what is the ratio of distance covered by the body during the fifth se
Art [367]

Answer:

9/25

Explanation:

Distance covered in the first 5 seconds:

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δx₀₋₅ = (0) (5) + ½ a (5)²

Δx₀₋₅ = 25a/2

Distance covered in the first 4 seconds:

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δx₀₋₄ = (0) (4) + ½ a (4)²

Δx₀₋₄ = 8a

So the distance covered during the 5th second is:

Δx₅ = 25a/2 − 8a

Δx₅ = 9a/2

So the ratio of the distance covered during the 5th second to the distance covered in the first 5 seconds is:

Δx₅ / Δx₀₋₅

(9a/2) / (25a/2)

9/25
