A bungee jumper falls 97.2 feet before bouncing back up at the end of his bungee cord. Then he falls 64.8 feet before bouncing u

p again. On his third descent, he falls 43.2 feet before going back up. What is the total distance the bungee jumper drops after five falls if the distances continue in this pattern? (Do not include the distance traveled up.) A)234.0 ft. B)253.2 ft. C)789.8 ft. D)1,281.8 ft

The answer is letter B. 

The solution is as follows:
97.2 ft/ x = 64.8 ft
97.2 / 64.8 = x
x = 1.5

Divide 97.2 by x 4 times and we have the following data:
1st fall = 97.2 ft
2nd fall = 64.8 ft
3rd fall =  43.2 ft
4th fall =  28.8 ft
5th fall =  19.2 ft
Total distance of falls = 253.2 ft

As an object moves, the distance it travels increases with time. Agree Disagree
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

Agree

Explanation:

Distance is described as "how much ground an object is covered" in physics, and because the object is moving, no matter which direction, it is constantly gaining more distance. You can think of the object as a car, and as the car is moving down a highway it is gaining more and more distance as the seconds go by.

You might be confused with the term displacement, "how far out of place an object is" which in this case would be false.

Does that make sense?

A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on the surfac
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

a) We know that;

v = λf

Where;

λ = wavelength of the wave

f = frequency of the wave

v = velocity of the wave

So;

T = 2 * 2.10 s = 4.2 s

Hence f = 1/4.2 s

f = 0.24 Hz

The wavelength =  6.5 m

Hence;

v = 6.5 m * 0.24 Hz

v = 1.56 m/s

b)The amplitude of the wave is;

A =  0.600 m/2 = 0.300 m

c) Since the wave speed does not depend on the amplitude of the wave then the answer in (a) above remains the same

Where d = 0.30 m

A = 0.30 m/2 = 0.15 m

Help pls thx!!!!!!! <br> this is my last question i hope!
irakobra [83]

Answer:

Left

Explanation:

newtons is a measure of force. Since there is more newtons(force) pushing to the left, the object will move left. the 15 newtons cancel each other out, leaving only 5 newtons pushing to one side with no resistance.

Does the charge that flows into the capacitor during the charging go all the way through the capacitor and back to the battery,

At a speed of 60 mph, how far does your car travel in 3 seconds
Viefleur [7K]

One of the many random useless factoids that I carry around
in my head is the factoid that 60 miles per hour is equivalent
to exactly 88 feet per second.

So in three seconds at that speed, you would cover exactly

                       (3 x 88) = 264 feet.
