A person of mass m will bungee-jump from a bridge over a river where the height from the bridge to the river is h. The bungee co

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer: $k_{min}=\frac{18mg}{h}$

Explanation:

Given

mass of person is m

Distance between bridge and river is h

chord has an un-stretched length of $\frac{2h}{3}$

Let spring constant be k

Person will just stop before hitting the river

Conserve energy i.e. Potential Energy of Person is converted in to elastic energy of chord

$mgh=\frac{kx^2}{2}$

$x=h-\frac{2h}{3}=\frac{h}{3}$

$mgh=\frac{kh^2}{18}$

$k=\frac{18mg}{h}$

Thus $k_{min}=\frac{18mg}{h}$

En un rio una Onda viaja con una velocidad de propagación de 50 m/s con una longitud de Onda de 40 metros. Hallar la frecuencia

sattari [20]

Answer:

Frequencia = 1.25 Hz

Explanation:

Dados los siguientes datos;

Velocidad = 50 m/s
Longitud de onda = 40 metros

Para encontrar la frecuencia de la onda;

Matemáticamente, la velocidad de una onda viene dada por la fórmula;

$Velocidad = Longitud \; de \; onda * Frequencia$

Haciendo de la frecuencia el tema de la fórmula, tenemos;

$Frequencia = \frac {Velocidad}{Longitud \; de \; onda}$

Sustituyendo en la fórmula, tenemos;

$Frequencia = \frac {50}{40}$

Frequencia = 1.25 Hz

a 0.199 kg snowball moving west makes an inelastic collision with a 2.89 kg box moving 0.523 m/s west. afterward,they move west

kogti [31]

Answer:

The initial velocity of the snowball was 22.21 m/s

Explanation:

Since the collision is inelastic, only momentum is conserved. And since the snowball and the box move together after the collision, they have the same final velocity.

Let $m_1$ be the mass of the ball, and $v_1$ be its initial velocity; let $m_2$ be the mass of the box, and $v_2$ be its velocity; let $v_f$ be the final velocity after the collision, then according to the law of conservation of momentum:

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2=v_f(m_1+m_2)$ .

From this we solve for $v_1$ , the initial velocity of the snowball:

$\boxed{v_1=\frac{v_f(m_1+m_2)-m_2v_2}{m_1}}$

now we plug in the numerical values $m_1=0.199\:kg$ , $m_2=2.89\:kg$ , $v_2=0.523\:m/s$ , and $v_f=1.92\:m/s$ to get:

$v_1=\frac{1.92*(0.199+2.89)-2.89*0.523}{0.199}$

$\boxed{v_1=22.21\:m/s}$

The initial velocity of the snowball is 22.21 m/s.

P.S: we did not take vectors into account because everything is moving in one direction—towards the west.

The component of acceleration perpendicular to an object’s velocity tells us: A. How the object’s speed changes. B. The influenc

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

Option C is correct.

The component of acceleration perpendicular to an object’s velocity tells us How the object’s direction changes.

Explanation:

This acceleration is called radial/tangential acceleration. It is the reason why a body moving in circular motion with constant velocity can be said to also be accelerating because its direction is continuously changing. The acceleration is usually directed towards the centre of the circular motion of the body or trying to throw the body off its circular motion path.
