Superman can leap over tall buildings in a single bound. What does he do to the ground beneath him? Assume his mass is 100.0 ± 0

.1 kg and his hips drop by 0.300 ± 0.020 m before he jumps. If he can jump over the top of PNC Plaza (tallest building in Raleigh), which is 164 ± 1 m, calculate the following with uncertainties:
a. Takeoff velocity
b. Acceleration just before takeoff
c. Force on ground at take off

Answer:

Explanation:

Height reached = 164m

If velocity of launch be u

u² = 2gh

= 2 x 9.8 x 164

= 3214.4

u = 56.7 m /s

difference in u = 1/2  (diff in h / h) x u

1/2 x 1/164 x 56.7

.17 or .2

u = 56.7 ± .2 m /s

or 57± 1

b )  During the displacement of .300 m , there is acceleration to achieve velocity of 56.7 m /s

v² = 2as

a = v² / 2s

= 56.7² / (2 x .3)

= 5358.15 m /s²

diff in a

= 1/2 x (.02 / .3) x 5358.15

178.6

a = 5358.1 ±178.6

c ) force on the ground

mass ( g + a )

= 100 x ( 9.8 +5358.1)

= 536790 N

error  in force = (.1/100 + 178.6 / 5358 ) x 536790

=( .01 +.03)x 536790

= 21471

(536790 ± 21471) N

You are standing a distance of 17.0 meters from the center of a merry-go-round. The merry-go-round takes 9.50 seconds to go comp
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

(a)11.24 m/s

(b)7.44 m/s

(c)409 N

(d)539.55\mu

(e) 0

Explanation:

The period for 1 circle 2\pi of the merry go around is 9.5s. It means the angular speed is:

\omega = \theta / t = 2\pi / 9.5 \approx 0.661 rad/s

(a)The speed is

v = \omega * R = 0.661 * 17 = 11.24 m/s

(b) Centripetal acceleration:

a = \frac{v^2}{R} = \frac{11.24^2}{17} = 7.44 m/s^2

(c) Magnitude of the force that keeps you go around at this acceleration

F = ma = 55 * 7.44 = 409 N

(d) let the coefficient of friction by \mu. The frictional force shall be this coefficient multiplied by normal force reverting gravity of the man

F_f = mg\mu = 55*9.81\mu = 539.55\mu

What is the element with the lowest electronegativity value?
Lerok [7]
<h2>Answer: Francium </h2>

Let's start by explaining that electronegativity is a term coined by Linus Pauling and is determined by the <em>ability of an atom of a certain element to attract electrons when chemically combined with another atom. </em>

So, the more electronegative an element is, the more electrons it will attract.

It should be noted that this value can not be measured directly by experiments, but it can be determined indirectly by means of calculations from other atomic or molecular properties of the element. That is why the scale created by Pauling is an arbitrary scale, where the maximum value of electronegativity is 4, assigned to Fluorine (F) and the <u>lowest is 0.7, assigned to Francium (Fr).</u>

Which statement accurately describes something that Yolanda can do as a part of her study?
Vikki [24]
Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. Below is Yoland's study:

<span>Yolanda is studying two waves. The first wave has an amplitude of 2 m, and the second has an amplitude of 3 m.
</span>
I think the answer is "She can use constructive interference to generate a wave with an amplitude of 1.5 m."

A spherical asteroid of average density would have a mass of 8.7×1013kg if its radius were 2.0 km. 1. If you and your spacesuit
Law Incorporation [45]

1. 0.16 N

The weight of a man on the surface of asteroid is equal to the gravitational force exerted on the man:

F=G\frac{Mm}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

M=8.7\cdot 10^{13}kg is the mass of the asteroid

m = 100 kg is the mass of the man

r = 2.0 km = 2000 m is the distance of the man from the centre of the asteroid

Substituting, we find

F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11}m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2})\frac{(8.7\cdot 10^{13} kg)(110 kg)}{(2000 m)^2}=0.16 N

2. 1.7 m/s

In order to stay in orbit just above the surface of the asteroid (so, at a distance r=2000 m from its centre), the gravitational force must be equal to the centripetal force

m\frac{v^2}{r}=G\frac{Mm}{r^2}

where v is the minimum speed required to stay in orbit.

Re-arranging the equation and solving for v, we find:

v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}=\sqrt{\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2})(8.7\cdot 10^{13} kg)}{2000 m}}=1.7 m/s
