Answer:

256.62 m

Explanation: We have a free fall motion, we know the initial speed as well as the final speed. Therefore we can find the distance that the plant travels, from Judy to her boyfriend, which tells us how far apart they are.

x=\frac{v_{f}^2-v_{o}^2}{2a}\\x=\frac{(71 m/s)^2-(3.35 m/s)^2}{2*9.8m/s^2}\\x= 256.62 m

7)An object is thrown straight up with an initial velocity of 3 m/s. What is its acceleration at its maximum height?
ser-zykov [4K]
C.
It is a motion with uniform acceleration, meaning that the acceleration will not change.
The object is thrown upwards with a positive velocity. This shows that the upward direction is positive. The object will decelerate due to gravity at a magnitude of 9.81 m/s2. Therefore, the acceleration is -9.81 m/s2.
Note that even though the velocity of the object is momentarily 0 m/s at maximum height, there is still a constant acceleration.
This allows the object first decelerate upwards, then change direction at max height, and finally accelerate downwards. So in this case, the acceleration is always negative and unchanged.

A skier with a mass of 63 kg starts from rest and skis down an icy (frictionless) slope that has a length of 50 m at an angleof
victus00 [196]

Answer:

Explanation:

When the skier reaches the bottom of the slope , height lost by it

h = 50 sin32 m

= 26.5 m

potential energy lost

= mgh

Gain of kinetic energy

= 1/2 mv²

mgh = 1/2 mv²

v = √ 2gh

= √ (2x9.8 x 26.5)

= 22.8 m /s

b )

Let μ be the coefficient of kinetic friction required.

friction force acting

= μmg

work done by friction in displacement of  d (40 m ) on horizontal surface

- μmg x d

This negative work will be equal to positive kinetic energy of the skier on horizontal surface .

=  μmg x d  = (1/2) m v²

μ = v² / (2 gd)

= 519.4 / (2 x 9.8 x 140 )

= .19

A 1200 kg car accelerates from 13 m/s to 17 m/s. find the change in momentum of the car.
mixas84 [53]
P=4800kgm/s
As
p=mΔv
where p is momentum, m is mass and v is velocity
Given values is
m =1200kg
Δv= 17m/s-13m/s=4m/s
Now
p=mΔv
p=(1200kg)*(4m/s)
p=4800kgm/s

Question 12 when an electrical pulse on one wire is accidentally detected on another nearby wire, this is known as _____.
Nuetrik [128]
An electric current has an associated magnetic field when the flow occurs in. This is also known as magnetic effect of current which has been<span> observed and quantified by </span>Ampere's Law<span>.

</span>Meanwhile, Current is produced in a conductor when it is moved through a magnetic field because the magnetic lines of force are applying a force on the free electrons in the conductor and causing them to move. This process of generating current in a conductor by placing the conductor in a changing magnetic field is called induction<span>. 
</span>
Hence, when a electric wire is placed nearby another wire carrying current, due to magnetic effect of current in the wire carrying electric current, current is induced in the wire. Hence the electric pulse and it is known as induction.
