At the top of a pole vault, an athlete actually can do work pushing on the pole before releasing it. Suppose the pushing force t

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

The work done on the athlete is approximately 2.09 J

Explanation:

From the definition of the work done by a variable force:

$\displaystyle{\int_{x_i}^{x_j}F(x)dx}$

and substituting with the function of our problem:

$\displaystyle{\int_{0}^{0.19}(140x-190x^2)dx\approx2.09\mathrm{J}}$

Two astronauts are 2.00 m apart in their spaceship. One speaks to the other. The conversation is transmitted to earth via electr

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

$D=1693742.7m$

Explanation:

For sound waves we have v=d/t where v is the speed of sound and d the distance between the astronauts, while for electromagnetic waves we have c=D/t where c is the speed of light and D the distance between the spaceship and Earth. <em>We have written both times as the same</em> because is what is imposed by the problem, so we have t=d/v=D/c, which means:

$D=\frac{dc}{v}$
