A girl of mass m1=60 kilograms springs from a trampoline with an initial upward velocity of v1=8.0 meters per second. At height

h=2.0 meters above the trampoline, the girl grabs a box of mass m2= 15 kilograms.For this problem, use g=9.8 meters per second per second for the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity.a)What is the speed of the girl immediately before she grabs the box?b)What is the speed of the girl immediately after she grabs the box?c)What is the maximum height that the girl (with box) reaches? Measure with respect to the top of the trampoline

a) 5.0 m/s

This first part of the problem can be solved by using the conservation of energy. In fact, the mechanical energy of the girl just after she jumps is equal to her kinetic energy:

E_i=\frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2

where m1 = 60 kg is the girl's mass and v1 = 8.0 m/s is her initial velocity.

When she reaches the height of h = 2.0 m, her mechanical energy is sum of kinetic energy and potential energy:

E_f = \frac{1}{2}m_1 v_2 ^2 + m_1 gh

where v2 is the new speed of the girl (before grabbing the box), and h = 2.0m. Equalizing the two equations (because the mechanical energy is conserved), we find

\frac{1}{2}m_1 v_1^2 = \frac{1}{2}m_1 v_2 ^2 + m_1 gh\\v_1^2 = v_2^2 +2gh\\v_2 = \sqrt{v_1^2 -2gh}=\sqrt{(8.0 m/s)^2-(2)(9.8 m/s^2)(2.0 m)}=5.0 m/s

b) 4.0 m/s

After the girl grab the box, the total momentum of the system must be conserved. This means that the initial momentum of the girl must be equal to the total momentum of the girl+box after the girl catches the box:

p_i = p_f\\m_1 v_2 = (m_1 + m_2) v_3

where m2 = 15 kg is the mass of the box. Solving the equation for v3, the combined velocity of the girl+box, we find

v_3 = \frac{m_1 v_2}{m_1 + m_2}=\frac{(60 kg)(5.0 m/s)}{60 kg+15 kg}=4 m/s

c) 2.8 m

We can use again the law of conservation of energy. The total mechanical energy of the girl after she catches the box is sum of kinetic energy and potential energy:

E_i = \frac{1}{2}(m_1+m_2) v_3^2 + (m_1+m_2)gh=\frac{1}{2}(75 kg)(4 m/s)^2+(75 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(2.0m)=2070 J

While at the maximum height, the speed is zero, so all the mechanical energy is just potential energy:

E_f = (m_1 +m_2)gh_{max}

where h_max is the maximum height. Equalizing the two expressions (because the mechanical energy must be conserved) and solving for h_max, we find

E_i = (m_1+m_2)gh_{max}\\h_{max}=\frac{E_i}{(m_1+m_2)g}=\frac{2070 J}{(75 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)}=2.8 m

Which way does current always flow?
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

Electrons move through the wires in the opposite direction.

Explanation:

The direction of an electric current is by convention the direction in which a positive charge would move. Thus, the current in the external circuit is directed away from the positive terminal and toward the negative terminal of the battery.

Q = cmAT
castortr0y [4]

Answer: Q=3000 cal

Explanation:

We are given the following formula:

Q=m. c. \Delta T   (1)

Where:

Q=3000 cal is the amount of heat

m=300g  is the mass  of water

c=1 cal/g \°C  is the specific heat of water

\Delta T  is the variation in temperature, which in this case is  \Delta T=30\°C-20\°C=10\°C  

Rewriting equation (1) with the known values at the right side, we will prove the result is 3000 cal:

Q=(300g)(1 cal/g \°C)(10\°C)   (2)

Q=3000 cal   This is the result

rectangular plate, whose streamwise dimension (or chord c) is 0.2 m and whose width (or span b) is 1.8 m, is mounted in a wind t
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

See explaination for the details of the answer.

Explanation:

Density is a measurement that compares the amount of matter an object has to its volume. An object with much matter in a certain volume has high density An object with little matter in the same amount of volume has a low density. Density is found by dividing the mass of an object by its volume.

The Calculate of the chordwise distribution of the skin friction coefficient and the displacement thickness is done and represented in the attachment.

Please kindly check attachment for the step by step answer.

What is an ion found in a glass of water
stepladder [879]

Answer:

H^{+} ion and OH^{-} ions.

Explanation:

As we notice the glass of water, in this observation we find that the glass also made up of sodium silicate which will give us oxygen ion.

And the water which is present in the glass will break into the hydroxyl ion and H^{+} ion .

Therefore, glass of water contains H^{+} ion and OH^{-} ions.
