The greatest height reported for a jump into an airbag is 99.4 m by stuntman Dan Koko. In 1948 he jumped from rest from the top

of the Vegas World Hotel and Casino. He struck the airbag at a speed of 39 m/s (88 mi/h). To assess the effects of air resistance, determine how fast he would have been traveling on impact had air resistance been absent.

Answer:

44.1613858478 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity = 0

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement = 99.4

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s² = a

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2as+u^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 99.4+0^2}\\\Rightarrow v=44.1613858478\ m/s

If air resistance was absent Dan Koko would strike the airbag at 44.1613858478 m/s

Len [333]

Answer:

F_c t_ c = -F_b t_b

And the forces are equal but in the opposite direction. So then we can write by general rule:

m_c \Delta V_{c} = -m_b \Delta V_b

Or equivalently:

m_c \Delta V_{c} +m_b \Delta V_b =0

Where: V_c represent the speed of the car and V_b the speed of the ball

m_c represent the mass of the car

m_b represent the mass of the ball

Since the ball is moving to the left and we assume that the total momentum not changes then the car need to move to the right in order to satisfy the equation and satisfy the balance.

By conservation of the momentum the car will move to the right since the ball is moves to the left.

So then the correct option for this case is :

A.Yes, and it moves to the right.

Explanation:

If we assume that we have the situation in the figure attached.

For this case we assume that the momentum changes are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, so then we satisfy this:

F_c t_ c = -F_b t_b

And the forces are equal but in the opposite direction. So then we can write by general rule:

m_c \Delta V_{c} = -m_b \Delta V_b

Or equivalently:

m_c \Delta V_{c} +m_b \Delta V_b =0

Where: V_c represent the speed of the car and V_b the speed of the ball

m_c represent the mass of the car

m_b represent the mass of the ball

Since the ball is moving to the left and we assume that the total momentum not changes then the car need to move to the right in order to satisfy the equation and satisfy the balance.

By conservation of the momentum the car will move to the right since the ball is moves to the left.

So then the correct option for this case is :

A.Yes, and it moves to the right.

A 400-kg object has a 100-Newton rightward net force being applied to it. What is the magnitude of the rightward acceleration on
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

The answer to your question is a = 0.25 m/s²

Explanation:

Data

mass = m = 400 kg

Force = F = 100 N

acceleration = a = ? m/s²

Process

To solve this problem use Newton's second law that states that the force applied to an object is directly proportional to the mass of the body times its acceleration.

Formula

                       F = ma

solve for a

                       a = \frac{F}{m}

Substitution

                       a = \frac{100}{400}

Simplification and result

                              a = 0.25 m/s²

Initial velocity 10 m/s accelerates at 5 m/s for 2 seconds whats the final velocity
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

<em>The final velocity is 20 m/s.</em>

Explanation:

<u>Constant Acceleration Motion</u>

It's a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal period of time.

Being a the constant acceleration, vo the initial speed, and t the time, the final speed can be calculated as follows:

v_f=v_o+at

The provided data is: vo=10 m/s, a=5\ m/s^2, t=2 s. The final velocity is:

v_f=10~m/s+5\ m/s^2\cdot 2\ s

v_f=20\ m/s

The final velocity is 20 m/s.

Help with question 16 and 17
storchak [24]
<h3>16.</h3>

Your answer is correct.

___

<h3>17.</h3>

The fractional change in resistance is equal to the given temperature coefficient multiplied by the change in temperature.

  R = R₀×(1 + α×ΔT)

  R = (10.0 Ω)×(1 + 0.004×(65 -20)) = 11.8 Ω
