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

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

s = vcos(x)t

50 = 25cos(45)t

cos(45)t = 2

t = 2/cos(45) = 2sqrt(2)

h = vsin(x)t + gt^2/2

h = 25sin(45)*2sqrt(2) - 4.9*8

h = 10.8 metres

A 1300 kg car moving at 20 m/s and a 900 kg car moving at 15 m/s in precisely oppositedirections participate in a head-on crash.
miskamm [114]

Given

Car 1

m1 = 1300 kg

v1 = 20 m/s

m2 = 900 kg

v2 = -15 m/s

(Negative sign shows that direction of car 2 is opposite to car 1)

Procedure

As per the conservation of linear momentum, "The total momentum of the system before the collision must be equal to the total momentum after the collision". And this applies to the perfectly inelastic collision as well. Then the expression is,

\begin{gathered} m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v \\ v=\frac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2} \\ v=\frac{1300\operatorname{kg}\cdot20m/s-900\operatorname{kg}\cdot15m/s}{1300\operatorname{kg}+900\operatorname{kg}} \\ v=5.681m/s \end{gathered}

Thus, we can conclude that the speed and direction of the cars after the impact is 5.68 m/s towards the first car.

What will occur when the waves peak at the same place at the same time?
dedylja [7]
Hello!

This is a matter of superposition.
When the waves peak at the same time and place, they produce constructive interference, meaning the waves interact together in a positive way, to make a wave with Amplitude of both waves added together. When the peaks differ however, at the same time and place, then it is destructive interference and the waves essentially cancel each other out.

Hope this helps. Any questions please just ask. Thank you kindly.
