If a high jumper needs to make his center of gravity rise 1.50 m, how fast must he be able to sprint? Assume all of his kinetic

energy can be transformed into potential energy. For an extended object, the gravitational potential energy is U = mgh, where h is the height of the center of gravity.

Answer:

v = 5.42 m/s

Explanation:

given,

height of the jumper = 1.5 m

velocity of sprinter = ?

kinetic energy can be transformed into potential energy

m g h = \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

g h = \dfrac{1}{2}v^2

v =\sqrt{2gh}

v =\sqrt{2\times 9.8 \times 1.5}

v = 5.42 m/s

Speed of the sprinter is equal to v = 5.42 m/s

g An astronaut must journey to a distant planet, which is 189 light-years from Earth. What speed will be necessary if the astron
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

The value is v  =  2.999 *10^{8} \  m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The time taken to travel to the planet from earth is t = 189 \ light-years

    The  time to be spent on the ship is  t_{s} =  12 \  years

Generally speed can be obtained using the mathematical relation represented below

       t_s  =  2 * t *  \sqrt{1 -  \frac{v^2}{c^2 } }

The 2 in the equation show that the trip is a round trip i.e going and coming back

=>    12 =  2 * 189 *  \sqrt{1 -  \frac{v^2}{(3.0*10^{8})^2 } }

=>     v  =  2.999 *10^{8} \  m/s

An 8.0 cm object is 40.0 cm from a concave mirror that has a focal length of 10.0 cm. Its image is 16.0 cm in front of the mirro
svet-max [94.6K]
 We can rearrange the mirror equation before plugging our values in. 
1/p = 1/f - 1/q. 
1/p = 1/10cm - 1/40cm
1/p = 4/40cm - 1/40cm = 3/40cm
40cm=3p  <-- cross multiplication
13.33cm = p

Now that we have the value of p, we can plug it into the magnification equation.

M=-16/13.33=1.2
1.2=h'/8cm
9.6=h'

So the height of the image produced by the mirror is 9.6cm.

PLEASE ANSWER ASAP!!!
Mice21 [21]

The total momentum of the system has to be conserved to satisfy the principle of conservation of momentum. Before the ball hits the bottle, the momentum of the system is 0.4 x 18 = 7.2 kg m/s

The momentum of the bottle after being hit is 0.2 x 25 = 5 kg m/s

So the momentum of the ball now is 7.2 - 5 = 2.2 kg m/s

Hence its velocity is 2.2/0.4 = 5.5 m/s
