Let north and east be posetive
Y=20sin20
=6.840402867 south
X=20cos20
18.79385243 west
Net horizontal components=60+(-18.79)
=41.20614758m
Net vertical=-6.84040267
X^2=41.20614758^2+(-6.684040267)^2
√x^2 =√1744.73771m
x=41.77m

if a person can jump maximum along distance of 3m ,on the earth how far could be jump on the moon where acceleration due to grav
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

The person can jump 48 m on the Moon

Explanation:

The question parameters are;

The maximum long jump distance of a person on Earth, R_{max} = 3 m

The acceleration due to gravity on the Moon = 1 ÷ 16 of that on Earth

The distance the person can jump on the Moon is given as follows;

A person performing a jump across an horizontal distance on Earth (under gravitational force) follows the path of the motion of a projectile

The horizontal range, R_{max}, of a projectile motion is found by using the following formula

R_{max} = \dfrac{u^2}{g}

Where;

g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore, we have;

R_{max} = 3 \, m = \dfrac{u^2}{9.8 \, m/s^2 }

u² = 3 m × 9.8 m/s² = 29.4 m²/s²

Therefore, on the Moon, we have;

The acceleration due to gravity on the Moon, g_{Moon} = 1/16 × g

∴ g_{Moon} = 1/16 × g = 1/16 × 9.8 m/s² ≈ 0.6125 m/s²

R_{max \ Moon} = \dfrac{u^2}{g_{Moon}}   = \dfrac{29.4 \ m^2/s^2}{0.6125 \, m/s^2 } \approx 48 \, m

The maximum distance the person can jump on the Moon with the same velocity which was used on Earth is R_{max \ Moon} ≈ 48 m

Hans Full is pulling on a rope to drag his backpack to school across the ice. He pulls upwards and rightwards with a force of 22
natka813 [3]

Answer:

2420 J

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Force (F) = 22.9 N

Angle (θ) = 35°

Distance (d) = 129 m

Workdone (Wd) =?

The work done can be obtained by using the following formula:

Wd = Fd × Cos θ

Wd = 22.9 × 129 × Cos 35

Wd = 22.9 × 129 × 0.8192

Wd ≈ 2420 J

Thus, the workdone is 2420 J.

Why do we say that a baseball falls toward Earth, and not Earth toward the baseball?
mezya [45]
Probably because the earth is stationary rotating on its axis whereas the baseball is the one doing all of the movement after being thrown

A planet orbits a start with the path shown below.
kvv77 [185]

PART a)

As we know that gravitational potential energy is given by the formula

U = -\frac{Gm_1m_2}{r}

here we can see that gravitational potential energy inversely varies with the distance

so here when distance from the sun is minimum then magnitude of gravitational potential energy is maximum while since it is given with negative sign so its overall value is minimum at that position

So gravitational potential energy is minimum at the nearest point and maximum at the farthest point

PART b)

Since we know that sum of kinetic energy and potential energy is constant here

so the points of minimum potential energy is the point where kinetic energy is maximum which means speed is maximum

So here speed is maximum at the nearest point

Part C)

since gravitational potential energy inversely varies with distance so it's graph will be like hyperbolic graph with distance
