In the long jump, an athlete launches herself at an angle above the ground and lands at the same height, trying to travel the gr

NikAS [45]

A) 2.64t

B) 2.64h

C) 2.64D

Explanation:

A)

The motion of the athlete is equivalent to the motion of a projectile, which consists of two independent motions:

- A uniform motion (constant velocity) along the horizontal direction

- A uniformly accelerated motion (constant acceleration) along the vertical direction

The time of flight of a projectile can be found from the equations of motion, and it is found to be

$t=\frac{2u sin \theta}{g}$

where

u is the initial speed

$\theta$ is the angle of projection

g is the acceleration due to gravity

In this problem, when the athlete is on the Earth, the time of flight is $t$ .

When she is on Mars, the acceleration due to gravity is:

$g'=0.379 g$

where g is the acceleration due to gravity on Earth. Therefore, the time of flight on Mars will be:

$t'=\frac{2usin \theta}{g'}=\frac{2u sin \theta}{0.379g}=\frac{1}{0.379}t=2.64t$

B)

The maximum height reached by a projectile can be also found using the equations of motion, and it is given by

$h=\frac{u^2 sin^2\theta}{2g}$

where

u is the initial speed

$\theta$ is the angle of projection

g is the acceleration due to gravity

In this problem, when the athlete is on the Earth, the maximum height is $h$ .

When she is on Mars, the acceleration due to gravity is:

$g'=0.379 g$

where g is the acceleration due to gravity on Earth. So, the maximum height reached on Mars will be:

$h'=\frac{u^2 sin^2\theta}{2g'}=\frac{u^2 sin^2\theta}{(0.379)2g}=\frac{1}{0.379}h=2.64h$

C)

The horizontal distance covered by a projectile is also found from the equations of motion, and it is given by

$D=\frac{u^2 sin(2\theta)}{g}$

where:

u is the initial speed

$\theta$ is the angle of projection

g is the acceleration due to gravity

In this problem, when the athlete is on the Earth, the horizontal distance covered is D.

When she is on Mars, the acceleration due to gravity is:

$g'=0.379 g$

where g is the acceleration due to gravity on Earth. Therefore, the horizontal distance reached on Mars will be:

$D'=\frac{u^2 sin(2\theta)}{g'}=\frac{u^2 sin(2\theta)}{(0.379)g}=\frac{1}{0.379}D=2.64D$

This would be an illustration of Newton's first law of motion. Law of inertia, an object moving at constant velocity will keep moving at constant velocity until a force is acted upon it. Inertia is the tendency of an object to keep moving in a particular direction resisting to change, unless a force acts upon the object.

Weeds are very important agronomically because they reduce the yield of crops in three ways: by competing with the crop for water, light and nutrients, by interfering with crop harvest, and by contaminating harvested products with weed seeds and toxins. Weeds can reduce yield up to 50% and are responsible for millions of dollars in crop losses each year.

It’s biotic factor would be competition as Competition can be defined as an interaction between organisms or species, in which the fitness of one is lowered by the presence of another.

The gravitational force between two objects is represented by the variable F. If the distance is decreased by 5 what is the new

Anvisha [2.4K]

The universal law of gravitation states that:

Every object in the universe attracts every other object with a force which is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them.

It means that if the gravitational force is F, then if the distance is decreased by 5 times, then the new gravitation force is:

F/5² = F/25
