Answer:

The maximum height reached is 4.63 m.

Explanation:

Given:

Initial speed of the man (u) = 31.0 m/s

Speed at the top of trajectory (u_x) = 29.5 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

When the man reaches the top of the trajectory, the vertical component of velocity becomes zero and hence only horizontal component of velocity acts on him.

Also, since there is no net force acting in the horizontal direction, the acceleration is zero in the horizontal direction from Newton's second law. Thus, the horizontal component of velocity always remains the same.

So, speed at the top of trajectory is nothing but the horizontal component of initial velocity.

Now, initial velocity can be rewritten in terms of its components as:

u^2=u_x^2+u_y^2

Where, u_x\ and\ u_y are the initial horizontal and vertical velocities of the man.

Now, plug in the given values and simplify. This gives,

(31.0)^2=(29.5)^2+u_y^2\\\\961=870.25+u_y^2\\\\u_y^2=961-870.25\\\\u_y^2=90.75\ m^2/s^2--------1

Now, we know that, for a projectile motion, the maximum height is given as:

H=\frac{u_y^2}{2g}

Plug in the value from equation (1) and 9.8 for 'g' to solve for 'H'. This gives,

H=\frac{90.75}{2\times 9.8}\\\\H=4.63\ m

Therefore, the maximum height reached is 4.63 m.

faust18 [17]

Answer: Kinetic Molecular Theory claims that gas particles are in continuous motion and completely demonstrate elastic collisions. Kinetic Molecular Theory can be used to describe the rules of both Charles and Boyle. A series of gas particles only has an average kinetic energy that is directly proportional to absolute temperature.

Licemer1 [7]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Distance,r=0.27 m

Tangential speed=v=0.49 m/s

a.Angular speed ,\omega=\frac{v}{r}

Using the formula

\omega=\frac{0.49}{0.27}=1.8 rad/s

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}

T=\frac{2\pi}{\omega}

Time period,T=\frac{2\pi}{1.8}=3.49 s

b.Amplitude,A=Distance of small eraser from the center of a turnable =0.27 m

c.Maximum speed,V_{max}=0.49 m/s

d.Maximum acceleration=a=r\omega^2=0.27(1.8)^2=0.87 m/s^2

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

the coefficient of Kinetic friction between the tires and road is 0.38

Option A) .38 is the correct answer

Explanation:

Given that;

final velocity v = 0

initial velocity u = 15m/s

time taken t = 4 s

acceleration  a = ?

from the equation of motion        

v   =   u   +   at

we substitute

0 = 15 + a × 4

acceleration a = -15/4 =  - 3.75 m/s²    

the negative sign tells us that its a  deacceleration so the sign can be ignored.

Deacceleration due to friction a = μ × g

we substitute

3.75 = μ × 9.8    

μ = 3.75 / 9.8 = 0.3826 ≈ 0.38

Therefore the coefficient of Kinetic friction between the tires and road is 0.38

Option A) .38 is the correct answer
