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 500 kg block is attached to a horizontal spring that is at its equilibrium length, and whose force constant is 30 N/m. The blo
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

x = 0.396 m

Explanation:

The best way to solve this problem is to divide it into two parts: one for the clash of the putty with the block and another when the system (putty + block) compresses it is   spring

Data the putty has a mass m1 and velocity vo1, the block has a mass m2 .  t's start using the moment to find the system speed.

Let's form a system consisting of putty and block; For this system the forces during the crash are internal and the moment is preserved. Let's write the moment before the crash

    p₀ = m1 v₀₁

Moment after shock

    p_{f} = (m1 + m2) v_{f}

   p₀ = p_{f}

   m1 v₀₁ = (m1 + m2) v_{f}

  v_{f} = v₀₁ m1 / (m1 + m2)

   v_{f}= 4.4 600 / (600 + 500)

  v_{f} = 2.4 m / s

With this speed the putty + block system compresses the spring, let's use energy conservation for this second part, write the mechanical energy before and after compressing the spring

Before compressing the spring

   Em₀ = K = ½ (m1 + m2) v_{f}²

After compressing the spring

   E_{mf} = Ke = ½ k x²

As there is no rubbing the energy is conserved

   Em₀ = E_{mf}

   ½ (m1 + m2) v_{f}² = = ½ k x²

   x = v_{f} √ (k / (m1 + m2))

   x = 2.4 √ (11/3000)

   x = 0.396 m

To test the quality of water sources in her area, Shameka collects five samples from each water source and tests the quality of
xenn [34]

The missing part of the incomplete question is given below:

Which important step of scientific design is Shameka conducting?

repetition

replication

verification of results

using controlled variables

Answer:

Verification of results

Explanation:

The way toward gathering five examples of water from various sources is conveyed to confirm the outcome. By gathering water from five distinct areas of a similar source the analyst can genuinely find out the nature of the water in her region of remain.  

On the off chance that after examples are tried it is found the water isn't sound, the outcomes would be acknowledged as it has been appropriately checked and a  proper move would be made.

Thus, the correct answer is - verification of results

You drop a rock from rest from the top of a tall building.1)how far has the rock fallen in 2.60 s?
Bess [88]
Answer:
distance = 33.124 meters

Explanation:
To solve this question, we will use one of the equations of motion which is:
s = ut + 0.5a * t^2
where:
s is the distance that we want to get
u is the initial velocity = 0
a is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/sec^2
t is the time = 2.6 sec

Substitute with the givens in the equation to get the distance as follows:
s = ut + 0.5a * t^2
s = (0)(2.6) + 0.5(9.8)(2.6)^2
s = 33.124 meters

Hope this helps :)

If a force of 19 N is applied to a crate to push it 23 m, how much work is done on the crate by the force?
swat32

Answer:

437 Joules

Explanation:

Use the formula for work directly

(work) = (force) x (displacement)

to get

(work) = (19 N) x (23 m) = 437 Joules
