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

(20) A rocket is launched vertically. At time t = 0 seconds, the rocket’s engine shuts down. At the time, the rocket has reached
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

h(t) = -9.8t² / 2 + 125t + 500

for t > 0.

At t = 0, the rocket is at height h = 500m, at a velocity of Vo = 125m/s.

We want to find the maximum height reached by rocket

Using mathematics maxima and minima

let find the turning point when dh/dt = 0

dh/dt = -9.8t + 125

dh / dt = 0 = -9.8t + 125

9.8t = 125

t = 125 / 9.8

t = 12.76s

Let find the turning point to know if this time t = 12.76 is maximum or minimum point

Let find d²h / dt²

d²h / dt² = -9.8

Since, d²h/dt² < 0, then, at t = 12.76s is the maximum points.

Then, the maximum height reached is

h =  -9.8t² / 2 + 125t + 500

h =  -9.8(12.76)² / 2 + 125(12.76) + 500

h = -797.80 + 1595 + 500

h = 1297.2 m

The maximum height reached is 1297.2 m

From the attachment, the maximum height is 1297.2m at t = 12.76sec.

Comment, the result are the same for both the analysis aspect and the graphical aspect.

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

0.0312J

Explanation:

Let x be the distance the staple moves:

x=0.150m-0.115m=0.035m

And spring constant is k=51.0N/m

PE=0.5kx^2\\=0.5\times 51.0\times 0.035^2\\\\=0.312

Hence, the potential energy is 0.0312J

If you had started with a larger mass, how would the half-life change?
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

There is no change, unless your mass is somehow at the quantum level, at which the concept of half-life breaks down.

Half life is a property of the specific radioactive isotope...NOT of the initial sample's mass.
