The specialty of an athlete on the women's track team is the pole vault. She has a mass of 48 kg and her approach speed is 8.9 m

/s. When she is directly above the bar, her speed is 1.6 m/s. Neglecting air resistance and any energy absorbed by the pole, determine the amount(in m) she has raised herself as she crosses the bar.

Answer:

H = 3.9 m

Explanation:

mass (m) = 48 kg

initial velocity (initial speed) (U) = 8.9 m/s

final velocity (V) = 1.6 m/s

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

find the height she raised her self to as she crosses the bar (H)

from energy conservation, the change in kinetic energy = change in potential energy

0.5m(V^{2} - [test]U^{2}[/tex]) = mg(H-h)

where h = initial height = 0 since she was on the ground

the equation becomes

0.5m(V^{2} - [test]U^{2}[/tex]) = mgH

0.5 x 48 x (1.6^{2} - [test]8.9^{2}[/tex]) = 48 x 9.8 x H

-1839.6 = 470.4 H  (the negative sign indicates a decrease in kinetic energy so we would not be making use of it further)

H = 3.9 m

You are a visitor aboard the New International Space Station, which is in a circular orbit around the Earth with an orbital spee
Alchen [17]

Answer:

The minimum total speed is 11.2km/s

Explanation:

We are been asked to find the escape velocity.

Escape velocity is defined as the minimum initial velocity that will take a body(projectile)away above the surface of a planet(earth) when it's projected vertically upwards.

The formula to calculate the escape velocity is Ve = √2gR

For the earth g = 9.8m/s2 , R = 6.4*10^6

Substituting into the equation Ve = √2*9.8*6.4*10^6 = 11.2*10^3m/s

=11.2km/s

A body with initial velocity 8.0 m/s moves along a straight line with constant acceleration and travels
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

<em>(a) The average velocity is 16 m/s</em>

<em>(b) The acceleration is 0.4 m/s^2</em>

<em>(c) The final velocity is 24 m/s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Constant Acceleration Motion</u>

It's a type of motion in which the velocity (or the speed) of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal period of time.

Being a the constant acceleration, vo the initial speed, vf the final speed, and t the time, final speed is calculated as follows:

v_f=v_o+at\qquad\qquad [1]

The distance traveled by the object is given by:

\displaystyle x=v_o.t+\frac{a.t^2}{2}\qquad\qquad [2]

(a) The average velocity is defined as the total distance traveled divided by the time taken to travel that distance.

We know the distance is x=640 m and the time taken t= 40 s, thus:

\displaystyle \bar v=\frac{x}{t}=\frac{640}{40}=16

The average velocity is 16 m/s

Using the equation [1] we can solve for a:

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}

(c) From [2] we can solve for a:

\displaystyle a= 2\frac{x-v_ot}{t^2}

Since vo=8 m/s, x=640 m, t=40 s:

\displaystyle a= 2\frac{640-8\cdot 40}{40^2}=0.4

The acceleration is 0.4 m/s^2

(b) The final velocity is calculated by [1]:

v_f=8+0.4\cdot 40

v_f=8+16=24

The final velocity is 24 m/s

If the phase of the vibrating sources was changed so that they were vibrating completely out of phase, what effect would this ha
Over [174]

Answer:

There would be complete destructive interference.

Explanation:

This is because since the waves are completely out of phase, the phase difference is half wavelength, that is the phase angle is 180°. The vibrating sources are 180° out of phase with each other.

Since this is the case, the crest of the one source meets the trough of the other, this causes the resultant vibrational wave to cancel out, thus producing a destructive interference pattern.

Since the vibrating sources are completely out of phase, every point they meet is completely out of phase, so the resultant interference pattern would produce a complete destructive interference pattern of no wave.

A baseball bat changes the momentum of a ball with an impulse of 13.8 Nᐧs. What is the average force that the bat exerts on the
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

13800 N

Explanation:

Impulse is the product of average force and time expressed as I=Ft where I is the impulse which results into change in momentum, F is the average force and t is the time of impact. Making F the subject of formula then

F=\frac {I}{t}

Substituting I with 13.8 N.s and time, t witg 0.001 s then the average force is calculated as

F=\frac {13.8 N.s}{0.001}=13800N

Therefore, the average force is equivalent to 13800 N
