A ring is attached at the center of the underside of a trampoline. A sneaky teenager crawls under the trampoline and uses the ri

ng to pull the trampoline slowly down while his 79-kg mother is sleeping on it. When he releases the trampoline, she is launched upward. As she passes through the position at which she was before her son stretched the trampoline, her speed is 2.5 m/s .

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Mass of mother m=79\ kg

Mother is released with a speed of v=2.5\ m/s

Assuming we need to find elastic Potential energy stored in Trampoline

Kinetic energy acquired  by Mother comes from Elastic Potential Energy stored in the spring

I.e. Elastic Potential Energy=Kinetic Energy of mother

\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

E=\frac{1}{2}\times 79\times 2.5^2=246.875\ J

So 246.875 J of Energy is stored in the trampoline as he pull the ring

Human reaction times are worsened by alcohol. How much further (in feet) would a drunk driver's car travel before he hits the br
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

A drunk driver's car travel 49.13 ft further than a sober driver's car, before it hits the brakes

Explanation:

Distance covered by the car after application of brakes, until it stops can be found by using 3rd equation of motion:

2as = Vf² - Vi²

s = (Vf² - Vi²)/2a

where,  

Vf = Final Velocity of Car = 0 mi/h

Vi = Initial Velocity of Car = 50 mi/h

a = deceleration of car  

s = distance covered

Vf, Vi and a for both drivers is same as per the question. Therefore, distance covered by both car after application of brakes will also be same.

So, the difference in distance covered occurs before application of brakes during response time. Since, the car is in uniform speed before applying brakes. Therefore, following equation shall be used:

s = vt

FOR SOBER DRIVER:

v = (50 mi/h)(1 h/ 3600 s)(5280 ft/mi) = 73.33 ft/s

t = 0.33 s

s = s₁

Therefore,

s₁ = (73.33 ft/s)(0.33 s)

s₁ = 24.2 ft

FOR DRUNK DRIVER:

v = (50 mi/h)(1 h/ 3600 s)(5280 ft/mi) = 73.33 ft/s

t = 1 s

s = s₂

Therefore,

s₂ = (73.33 ft/s)(1 s)

s₂ = 73.33 ft

Now, the distance traveled by drunk driver's car further than sober driver's car is given by:

ΔS = s₂ - s₁

ΔS = 73.33 ft - 24.2 ft

<u>ΔS = 49.13 ft</u>

Latitude and longitude are the two coordinates that determine a specific point on the Earth’s surface. How does knowing the loca
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

hey sandra! i hope this will help you!

Explanation:

The geographic coordinate system is a reference system that uses the two angular latitude (north or south) and longitude (east or west) coordinates to determine the positions of the land surface points. These two angular coordinates measured from the center of the Earth are from a spherical coordinate system that is aligned with its axis of rotation. These coordinates are usually expressed in sexagesimal degrees:

Latitude measures the angle between any point and the equator. Latitude lines are called parallel and are circles parallel to the equator on the Earth's surface. Latitude is the distance between any point and Ecuador, measured on the meridian that passes through that point.

• All points located on the same parallel have the same latitude.

• Those who are in the north of Ecuador receive the denomination North (N).

• Those who are in the south of Ecuador receive the denomination South (S).

• It is measured from 0º to 90º.

• The latitude of 0º corresponds to Ecuador.

• The North and South poles have latitude 90º N and 90º S respectively.

The length measures the angle along the equator from any point on Earth. It is accepted that Greenwich in London is length 0 in most modern societies. The lines of length are maximum circles that pass through the poles and are called meridians.

• All points located on the same meridian have the same length.

• Those who are east of Meridian Zero receive the designation East (E).

• Those who are west of Meridian Zero receive the denomination West (O).

• It is measured from 0º to 180º.

• The Greenwich meridian corresponds to the length 0º.

By combining these two angles, the position of any point on the Earth's surface can be expressed.
