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 3.00-kg object undergoes an acceleration given by a = (2.00 i + 5.00 j) m/s^2. Find (a) the resultant force acting on the obje
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

(a): The resultant force acting on the object are F= (5.99 i + 14.98 j).

(b): The magnitude of the resultant force are F= 16.4 N < 68.19º .

Explanation:

m= 3kg

a= 2 i + 5 j = 5 .38 < 68.19 º

F= m * a

F= 3* ( 5.38 < 68.19º )

F= 16.4 N < 68.19º

Fx= F * cos(68.19º)

Fx= 5.99

Fy= F* sin(68.19º)

Fy= 14.98

the velocity of an object is given v(t), and the acceleration is given by a(t). what is the relationship between the total
zmey [24]

The rate at which velocity changes is called acceleration. (Attensity exists when velocity varies.) If a moving object changes speed.

Why does time accelerate the rate at which velocity changes?

A motion's acceleration is the rate at which it changes from one velocity to another. A velocity's rate of change with respect to time is referred to as its acceleration. The amount and direction of acceleration are both properties of a vector quantity.

A change in velocity is known as what?

A velocity change's acceleration is measured. Acceleration is the measure of how quickly a velocity changes with time. The acceleration measure used in SI is M/s2.

two resistors of resistance 6 ohm and 3 ohm are connected in series and then in parallel .calculate the equivalent series resist
Novosadov [1.4K]

Explanation:

Given that,

Two resistors of resistance 6 ohm and 3 ohm are connected in series and then in parallel.

For series combination,

R_{eq}=R_1+R_2

For parallel combination,

\dfrac{1}{R_{eq}}=\dfrac{1}{R_1}+\dfrac{1}{R_2}

When 6 ohm and 3 ohm are in series,

R_s=6+3\\\\R_s=9\ \Omega

When 6 ohm and 3 ohm are in paralle,

\dfrac{1}{R_p}=\dfrac{1}{6}+\dfrac{1}{3}\\\\R_p=2\ \Omega

So, the equivalent resistance in series combination is 9 ohms and in parallel combination it is 2 ohms.

4A. How high is a 12 kg monkey in a tree if it has 509 J of gravitational potential Energy?
True [87]

4A. PE = MxGxH. (You can consider g as 9.8 / 10m/s as well)

509 J = 12x10xH

509 J = 120xH

H = 509/120

H = 4.24 m

Hope u got the answer....pls rate the answer if it is helpful for u....and I'm sorry I could not understand B part so I didn't do it.

Thank you

Compare and contrast the particle motion in each state of matter
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

Gases, liquids and solids are all made up of microscopic particles, but the behaviors of these particles differ in the three phases. ... gas are well separated with no regular arrangement. liquid are close together with no regular arrangement. solid are tightly packed, usually in a regular pattern.

<h3>Hope this is fine for you</h3>
