A 75.0 kg stunt man jumps from a balcony and falls 24.0

Physics
1 answer:
Anika [276]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The force that acts on the man equals 15354.75 newtons.

Explanation:

After falling through a distance of 24.0 meters the speed of the stunt man upon hitting the mattress can be obtained using third equation of kinematics as

v^{2}=u^{2}+2gh\\\\\therefore v=\sqrt{2gh}\\\\v=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 24}\\\\v=21.7m/s ( u=0 since the man falls from rest)

Now since the man is decelerated through a distance of 1.15 meters thus the acceleration produced can be obtained from third equation of kinematics as

v^{2}=u^{2}+2as\\\\0=u^{2}=2as\\\\a=\frac{-u^{2}}{2s}\\\\a=-\frac{(21.7^{2}}{2\times 1.15}=-204.73m/s^{2}

Now by newton's second law the force that produced deceleration of the calculated magnitude is obtained as

F=mass\times acceleration\\\\F=75.0\times -204.73=-15354.75Newtons

The negative sign indicates that the direction of force is opposite of motion.

A string that is under 54.0 N of tension has linear density 5.20 g/m . A sinusoidal wave with amplitude 2.50 cm and wavelength 1
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

8.89288275 m/s

Explanation:

F = Tension = 54 N

\mu = Linear density of string = 5.2 g/m

A = Amplitude = 2.5 cm

Wave velocity is given by

v=\sqrt{\frac{F}{\mu}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\frac{54}{5.2\times 10^{-3}}}\\\Rightarrow v=101.90493\ m/s

Frequency is given by

f=\frac{v}{\lambda}\\\Rightarrow f=\frac{101.90493}{1.8}\\\Rightarrow f=56.61385\ Hz

Angular frequency is given by

\omega=2\pi f\\\Rightarrow \omega=2\pi 56.61385\\\Rightarrow \omega=355.71531\ rad/s

Maximum velocity of a particle is given by

v_m=A\omega\\\Rightarrow v_m=0.025\times 355.71531\\\Rightarrow v_m=8.89288275\ m/s

The maximum velocity of a particle on the string is 8.89288275 m/s

1600 AM broadcasts radio waves with wavelengths<br> of about 187.37 m. Convert this to miles.
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

The wavelength in miles is <u>0.1165 miles</u>.

Explanation:

Given:

Wavelength of the radio wave is 187.37 m.

Now, the wavelength is given in meters.

We need to convert the wavelength from meters to miles.

In order to convert meters to miles, we have to use their conversion factor.

We know that,

1 meter = \frac{1}{1609}\ miles

Therefore, the conversion factor is given as:

CF=\frac{1}{1609}\ miles\ per\ meter

So, the wavelength in miles is given as:

Wavelength=\textrm{Wavelength in meters}\times CF\\\\Wavelength=187.37\ m\times \frac{\frac{1}{1609}\ miles}{1\ m}\\\\Wavelength=\frac{187.37}{1609}\ miles\\\\Wavelength=0.1165\ miles

Hence, the wavelength in miles is 0.1165 miles.

Objects floating in the water, like buoys, only bob up and down when waves pass. Why do they not get pushed all the way to where
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

Because as the waves propagates, the particles of the medium (molecules of water) vibrates perpendicularly (upward and downward) about their mean position and not in the direction of the waves.

Explanation:

A wave is a phenomena which causes a disturbance in a medium without any permanent deformation to the medium. Examples are; transverse wave and longitudinal wave. Waves transfer energy from one point in the medium to another.

The waves generated by water are transverse waves. Which are waves in which the vibrations of the particles of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the waves.

Thus as the waves propagates, the molecules of water vibrates up and down and not along the direction of propagation of the waves. So that the floating objects do not get pushed in the direction of the waves every time.
