Answer:

Janet jumps off a high diving platform with a horizontal velocity of 2.89 m per s and lands in the water 1.5 s later. How high is the platform?

Platform is 11.025 meters high .

Explanation:

we have Vx = 2.89 m/s

time taken = 1.5 seconds

height of the platform = ?

so,

As Janet is jumping from a high diving platform from a certain unknown height their must be involvement of gravity in action.

we can use,

h = Vi*t+(1/2)*g*t^2

where ,

h = height

Vi = initial horizontal velocity that will be zero

t = time in seconds

g = gravity due to acceleration

now put the values

h = 0+(1/2)*(9.8)*(1.5)^2

h = 11.025-m

A 5.00×105-kg subway train is brought to a stop from a speed of 0.500 m/s in 0.400 m by a large spring bumper at the end of its

Lesechka [4]

This can be calculated with the law of conservation of energy. The kinetic energy Ek of the train is completely transformed to potential energy of the spring Ep which stops the train:

Ek=Ep

(1/2)*m*v²=(1/2)*k*x², where m is mass of the train, v is the velocity of the train, k is the force constant of the spring and x is the path the train went while being stopped and also the amount of length the spring compressed.
We solve for k:

(1/2)*m*v²=(1/2)*k*x², 1/2 cancel out:

m*v²=k*x², we divide both sides by x² and get k:

k=(m*v²)/x²={(5*10^5)*(0.5²)}/(0.4²)=781250 N/m

So the force constant of the spring is: k=781250 N/m.

A duck swimming on the surface of a pond has an

Gemiola [76]

From the given information:

Taking the movement of the Duck in the North as the x-direction
The movement of the Duck in the East direction as the y-direction

However, we will have to compute the initial velocity and the acceleration of the duck in their vector forms.

<h3>In vector form;</h3>

The initial velocity is:

$\mathbf{u ^{\to} = 0.7 m/s ( -cos 25^0 \hat x + sin 25^0 \hat y ) \ m/s}$

The acceleration is:

$\mathbf{a ^{\to} = 0.5 m/s ( cos 41^0 \hat x - sin 41^0 \hat y ) \ m/s^2}$

The objective of this question is to determine the speed of the duck at a certain time. Since it is not given, let's assume we are to determine the Duck speed after 4 seconds of accelerating;

Then, it implies that time (t) = 4 seconds.

Using the first equation of motion:

$v^{\to} = u ^{\to} + a^{\to} t$

Then, we can replace their values into the equation of motion in order to determine the speed:

$\mathbf{v^{\to} =\Big(0.7 ( -cos 25^0 \hat x + sin 25^0 \hat y )+4 \times 0.5 ( cos 41^0 \hat x - sin 41^0 \hat y )\Big)}$

$\mathbf{v^{\to} =\Big(0.7 ( -cos 25^0 \hat x + sin 25^0 \hat y )+2.0 ( cos 41^0 \hat x - sin 41^0 \hat y )\Big)}$

$\mathbf{v^{\to} =\Big( ( -0.7 cos 25^0 \hat x + 0.7 sin 25^0 \hat y )+( 2.0cos 41^0 \hat x - 2.0sin 41^0 \hat y )\Big)}$

Collect like terms:

$\mathbf{v^{\to} =\Big( (2.0cos 41^0 -0.7 cos 25^0 )\hat x+( 0.7 sin 25^0 - 2.0sin 41^0 )\Big)\hat y}$

$\mathbf{v^{\to} =0.87500 \hat x- 1.01629 \hat y}$

Thus, the magnitude is:

$\mathbf{v^{\to} =\sqrt{(0.87500 )^2 +( 1.01629 )^2}}$

$\mathbf{v^{\to} =\sqrt{0.76563 +1.03285}}$

$\mathbf{v^{\to} =\sqrt{1.79848}}$

$\mathbf{v^{\to} =1.34 \ m/s}$

Therefore, we can conclude that the speed of the duck after 4 seconds is 1.34 m/s

An automobile traveling along a straight road increases its speed from 72 ft/s to 84 ft/s in 180 ft. if the acceleration is cons

Nikolay [14]

The equation that would allow us to calculate for the acceleration given the distance is written below,

a = (Vf² - Vo²) / 2d

where a is the acceleration, Vf is the final velocity, Vo is the initial velocity, and d is distance.

Substituting the known values,
a = ((84 ft/s)² - (72 ft/s)²) / 2(180 ft) = 5.2 ft/s²

Then, the equation that would relate the initial velocity, distance, acceleration and time is calculated through the equation,

d = Vot + 0.5at²

Substituting the known values,
180 = 72(t) + 0.5(5.2)(t²)

The value of t from the equation is 2.3 s

<em>ANSWER: 2.3 s</em>
