Contrary to popular belief, a ski jumper does not achieve a large amount of "air" when doing a jump (less than 6 feet). This is

because the ramp is almost horizontal while the landing is a steep hill. If a ski jumper leaves the hill at 26 m/s in the horizontal direction then travels 240 meters down the slope, what was the vertical distance (dy) that the ski jumper fell?

Answer:

The vertical distance that the ski jumper fell is 417.45 m.

Explanation:

Given;

initial horizontal velocity of the jumper, V_x = 26 m/s

horizontal distance of the jumper, dx = 240 m

The time of the motion is given by;

dx = Vₓt

t = dx / Vₓ

t = 240 / 26

t = 9.23 s

The vertical distance traveled by the diver is given by;

d_y = V_yt + \frac{1}{2}gt^2

initial vertical velocity, V_y, = 0

d_y =  \frac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\d_y = \frac{1}{2}(9.8)(9.23)^2\\\\d_y = 417.45 \ m

Therefore, the vertical distance that the ski jumper fell is 417.45 m.

A 70.9-kg boy and a 43.2-kg girl, both wearing skates face each other at rest on a skating rink. The boy pushes the girl, sendin
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of boy m_b=70.9\ kg

mass of girl m_g=43.2\ kg

speed of girl after push v_g=4.64\ m/s

Suppose speed of boy after push is v_b

initially momentum of system is zero so final momentum is also zero because momentum is conserved

P_i=P=f

0=m_b\cdot v_b+m_g\cdot v_g

v_b=-\frac{m_g}{m_b}\times v_g

v_b=-\frac{43.2}{70.9}\times 4.64  

v_b=-2.82\ m/s

i.e. velocity of boy is 2.82 m/s towards west

Mid-ocean ridges happen along divergent plate boundaries, where new ocean floor is created as the Earth’s tectonic plates spread apart. As the plates separate, molten rock rises to the seafloor, producing large volcanic eruptions of basalt.

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given mass of piston \left ( m\right )

no. of moles =n

Given Pressure remains same

Temperature changes from T_1 to T_2

Work done\left ( W\right ) is given by=\int_{V_1}^{V_2}PdV

W=P\left ( V_2-V_1\right )

also PV_1=nRT_1

PV_2=nRT_2

W=nR\left ( T_2-T_1\right )
