Answer:

55.66 m

Explanation:

While falling by 50 m , initial velocity u = 0

final velocity = v , height h = 50 , acceleration g = 9.8

v² = u² + 2gh

= 0 + 2 x 9.8 x 50

v = 31.3 m /s

After that deceleration comes into effect

In this case final velocity v = 17 m/s

initial velocity u = 31.3 m/s

acceleration a = - 61 m/s²

distance traveled h = ?

v² = u² + 2gh

(17)² = (31.3)² - 2x 61xh

h = 690.69 / 2 x 61

= 5.66 m

Total height during which he was in air

= 50 + 5.66

= 55.66 m

1. A 3.0 kg mass is tied to a rope and swung in a horizontal circle. If the velocity of the mass is 4.0 ms and
saul85 [17]

10.67m/s²

32N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the body = 3kg

velocity of the mass = 4m/s

radius of circle = 0.75m

Unknown:

centripetal acceleration = ?

centripetal force = ?

Solution:

The centripetal force is the force that keeps a radial body in its circular motion. It is directed inward:

   Centripetal acceleration  = \frac{v^{2} }{r}

   v is the velocity of the body

    r is the radius of the circle

  putting in the parameters:

   Centripetal acceleration = \frac{4^{2} }{0.75}

    Centripetal acceleration = 10.67m/s²

Centripetal force = m  \frac{v^{2} }{r}

          m is the mass

 Centripetal force = mass x centripetal acceleration

                              = 3 x 10.67

                              = 32N

I think the logical question here is to either find the distance or the displacement. They differ in such a way that distance is a scalar quantity that does not focus on the direction. Displacement is a vector quantity that covers the distance from the starting point to end point. Because it travels only in one direction (to the east), in this condition, distance is equal to displacement.

Distance =  Displacement = 3,000 m + 1,500 m = 4,500 m
