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

allsm [11]

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Dopler effect.

The equation is defined by

f_i = f_0 \frac{c}{c+v}

Where

f_h= Approaching velocities

f_i= Receding velocities

c = Speed of sound

v = Emitter speed

And

f_h = f_0 \frac{c}{c+v}

Therefore using the values given we can find the velocity through,

\frac{f_h}{f_0}=\frac{c-v}{c+v}

v = c(\frac{f_h-f_i}{f_h+f_i})

Assuming the ratio above, we can use any f_h and f_i with the ratio 2.4 to 1

v = 353(\frac{2.4-1}{2.4+1})

v = 145.35m/s

Therefore the cars goes to 145.3m/s

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

(a) Tangential velocity will be 38.648 m/sec

(b) Acceleration will be 133.617m/sec^2

Explanation:

We have given radius r = 11.2 m

Angular speed \omega =0.550rev/sec=0.550\times 2\pi =3.454rad/sec

(a) We have to find the tangential velocity

We know that tangential velocity is given by  

v_t=\omega r=3.454\times 11.2=38.684m/sec

(b) We know that acceleration is given by

a=\frac{v^2}{r}=\frac{38.684^2}{11.2}=133.617m/sec^2

A passenger at an airport pulls a rolling suitcase by its handle. If the force used is 10 N and the handle makes an angle of 25
Deffense [45]

Answer:

W= 1812.6 J

Explanation:

Work (W) is defined as the scalar product of force F by the distance (d) the body travels due to this force.  

W= F*d* cosα Formula ( 1)

Where:

F is the force in Newtons (N)

d is the displacemente in meters (m)

α : Angle formed between force and displacement

Data

F = 10 N

d = 200 m

α = 25°

Work done by the pulling force while the passenger walks 200 m

We replace data in the formula (1)

W= F*d* cosα

W= (10 N)*(200 m)* cos25°

W= 1812.6 (N*m)

W= 1812.6 J
