Answer:

a) Ep = 5886[J]; b) v = 14[m/s]; c)   W = 5886[J]; d) F = 1763.4[N]

Explanation:

a)

The potential energy can be found using the following expression, we will take the ground level as the reference point where the potential energy is equal to zero.

E_{p} =m*g*h\\where:\\m = mass = 60[kg]\\g = gravity = 9.81[m/s^2]\\h = elevation = 10 [m]\\E_{p}=60*9.81*10\\E_{p}=5886[J]

b)

Since energy is conserved, that is, potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy, the moment the harpsichord touches water, all potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy.

E_{p} = E_{k} \\5886 =0.5*m*v^{2} \\v = \sqrt{\frac{5886}{0.5*60} }\\v = 14[m/s]

c)

The work is equal to

W = 5886 [J]

d)

We need to use the following equation and find the deceleration of the diver at the moment when he stops his velocity is zero.

v_{f} ^{2}= v_{o} ^{2}-2*a*d\\where:\\d = 2.5[m]\\v_{f}=0\\v_{o} =14[m/s]\\Therefore\\a = \frac{14^{2} }{2*2.5} \\a = 39.2[m/s^2]

By performing a sum of forces equal to the product of mass by acceleration (newton's second law), we can find the force that acts to reduce the speed of the diver to zero.

m*g - F = m*a

F = m*a - m*g

F = (60*39.2) - (60*9.81)

F = 1763.4 [N]

Now she is out on a hike and comes to the left bank of a river. There is no bridge and the right bank is 10.0 mm away horizontal
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

a. 8.96 m/s b. 1.81 m

Explanation:

Here is the complete question.

a) A long jumper leaves the ground at 45° above the horizontal and lands 8.2 m away.

What is her "takeoff" speed  v 0 ?

b) Now she is out on a hike and comes to the left bank of a river. There is no bridge and the right bank is 10.0 m away horizontally and 2.5 m, vertically below.  

If she long jumps from the edge of the left bank at 45° with the speed calculated in part a), how long, or short, of the opposite bank will she land?

a. Since she lands 8.2 m away and leaves at an angle of 45 above the horizontal, this is a case of projectile motion. We calculate the takeoff speed v₀ from R = v₀²sin2θ/g. where R = range = 8.2 m.

So, v₀ = √gR/sin2θ = √9.8 × 8.2/sin(2×45) = √80.36/sin90 = √80.36 = 8.96 m/s.

b. We use R = v₀²sin2θ/g to calculate how long or short of the opposite bank she will land. With v₀ = 8.96 m/s and θ = 45

R = 8.96²sin(2 × 45)/9.8 = 80.2816/9.8 = 8.192 m.

So she land 8.192 m away from her bank. The distance away from the opposite bank she lands is 10 - 8.192 m = 1.808 m ≅ 1.81 m

James accelerates his skate board uniformly along a straight road from rest to 10 m/s in 4 seconds. What is James Acceleration?
lawyer [7]

Given:

u(initial velocity)=0

v(final velocity)= 10 m/s

t= 4 sec

Now we know that

v= u + at

Where v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration measured in m/s^2

t is the time measured in sec

10=0+ax4

a=10/4

a=2.5 m/s^2

A car with a mass of 2.0×10^3 kg is traveling at 15m/s .what is the momentum of the car ?
Maurinko [17]
Hello,

<span>A car with a mass of 2.0×10^3 kg is traveling at 15m/s. We need to find the momentum of the car. To do so, follow this formula:

p=mv

Where,

p = momentum 
m = mass
v = </span>velocity

The cars mass is 2.0E3 and its velocity is 15m/s. Therefore:

p=2.0  x 10^3 *15 or 2000(15)

p=30000

Thus, the cars momentum is 30000 kg m/s
