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 drop a stone down off a bridge. You are able to count to 4.0 seconds when it finally hits the water. How high is the bridge?
mart [117]

Answer:

The height of the bridge is 78.4 m.

Explanation:

Given;

time of the stone motion off the bridge, t = 4.0 s

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

The height of the bridge is given by;

h = ut + ¹/₂gt²

where;

u is the initial velocity of the stone, u = 0

h = ¹/₂gt²

h = ¹/₂(9.8)(4)²

h = 78.4 m

Therefore, the height of the bridge is 78.4 m.

10) If the mass 2m, the left mass
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

F = \frac{-Gm_{1}m_{2} }{r^{2} }.

Explanation:

Gravitational force between two objects of masses m_{1},  m_{2} kept at a distance r is given by the formula

F = \frac{-Gm_{1}m_{2} }{r^{2} }

Here ,m_{1} = 2m

         m_{2} = \frac{m}{2}

         

Thus , F = \frac{-G.2m.\frac{m}{2} }{r^{2} }

          F = \frac{-Gm_{1}m_{2} }{r^{2} }.

An object of mass 6.00 kg falls with an aceleration of 8.00 m/s2. The magnitude of air resitance must be ____ N
allsm [11]
Using Newton's Second Law, we can find the air resistance. We know the net force is equal to mass times acceleration.F_{net} = m*a = (6.00kg)(8.00 \frac{m}{s^2}) = 48N 

F_{g} - F_{d} = 48N

48N = (6.00kg)(9.81m/s^2) - F_{d} 

F_{d} = 10.86N

The GPE of a 70kg person standing on a chair 1m off the ground is how many joules?
Artemon [7]
GPE I am assuming is gravitational potential energy. I'll denote it as U for simplicity. 

U = mgy
U = (70kg)(9.81m/s^2)(1m) = 686.7J

U = 686.7J

Hope this helps!
