Of the cliff?
Projectile motion
In the problem we are asked to find a height of certain cliff when a motorcycle stunt driver zoom out horizontally at the end the cliff at an initial velocity. So we will use one of the kinematics equation for projectile motion,
y
=
v
o
y
t
+
1
2
g
t
where
v
o
y
is just equal to zero since we can assume that the driver zooms out horizontally,
g
=
9.8
m
/
s
2
and
t
is time after
If it's a mechanical wave, then its speed depends on the physical characteristics of the medium.
If it's an electromagnetic wave, then its speed depends on the
electrical characteristics of the medium.
Either way, the properties of the medium determine the wave speed.
You want to change the speed ? You have to change the properties
of the medium.
Blood pressure is greater in feet because of gravity
We can solve the problem by using the first law of thermodynamics:
where
is the change in internal energy of the system
is the heat absorbed by the system
is the work done by the system on the surrounding
In this problem, the work done by the system is
with a negative sign because the work is done by the surrounding on the system, while the heat absorbed is
with a negative sign as well because it is released by the system.
Therefore, by using the initial equation, we find
The tangent looks good.
The curve is a bit crooked, at the 0.9 and 1.
But overall, cool graph.
