A policeman is chasing a criminal across a rooftop at 10 m/s. He decides to jump to the next building which is 2 meters across f

rom the original and 2.5 meters lower. How far (in m) will they fall in that time? (use g = 10 m/s^2)

Answer:

They will meet at a distance of 7.57 m

Given:

Initial velocity of policeman in the x- direction, u_{x} = 10 m/s

The distance between the buildings, d_{x} = 2.0 m

The building is lower by a height, h = 2.5 m

Solution:

Now,

When the policeman jumps from a height of 2.5 m, then his initial velocity, u was 0.

Thus

From the second eqn of motion, we can write:

h = ut + \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

h = \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

2.5 = \frac{1}{2}\times 10\times t^{2}

t = 0.707 s

Now,

When the policeman was chasing across:

d_{x} = u_{x}t + \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

d_{x} = 10\times 0.707 + \frac{1}{2}\times 10\times 0.5 = 9.57 m

The distance they will meet at:

9.57 - 2.0 = 7.57 m

During the first 14 minutes of a 1.0 hour trip, a car has an average speed 36 km/h. What must the average speed in km/h of the c
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

85.5 km/h

Explanation:

t_{1} = time interval for first phase = 14 min = \frac{14}{60} h = 0.233 h

t_{2} = time interval for second phase = 46 min = \frac{46}{60} h = 0.767 h

v = average speed for the entire trip = 74 km/h

v_{1} = average speed in first phase = 36 km/h

v_{2} = average speed in second phase

d_{1} = distance traveled in first phase

d_{2} = distance traveled in first phase

average speed is given as

v = \frac{d_{1} + d_{2}}{t_{1} + t_{2}}

v = \frac{v_{1} t_{1} + v_{2} t_{2}}{t_{1} + t_{2}}

74 = \frac{(36) (0.233) + v_{2} (0.767)}{0.233 + 0.767}

74 = (36) (0.233) + v_{2} (0.767)

v_{2} = 85.5 km/h

A pyrotechnical releases a 3 kg firecracker from rest. at t=0.4 s, the firecracker is moving downward with a speed 4 m/s. At the
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

a) F = 30 N, b)   I = 12 N s , c)  I = -12 N s , d) ΔI = 0 N s

Explanation:

This exercise is a case at the moment, let's define the system formed by the firecracker and its two parts, in this case the forces during the explosion are internal and the moment is conserved

Initial, before the explosion

     p₀ = m v

The speed can be found by kinematics

     v = v₀ - g t

     v = 0 - 10 0.4

     v = -4.0 m / s

Final after division

     pf = m₁ v₁f + m₂ v₂f

    p₀ = pf

    M v = m₁ v₁f + m₂ v₂f

Where M is the initial mass (M = 3 kg), m₁ is the mass mtop (m₁ = 1 kg) and m₂ in the mass m botton (m₂ = 2kg) and the piece that moves up (v₁f = 6m/s )

a) before the explosion the only force acting on the body is gravity

     F = mg

     F = 3 10 = 30 N

b) The expression for momentum is

     I = Ft

Before the explosion the only force that acts is the weight

    I = mg t

    I = 3 10 0.4

    I = 12 N s

c) To calculate this part we use the conservation of the moment and calculate the speed of the body that descends body 2

    M v = m₁ v₁f + m₂ v₂f

    v₂f = (M v - m₁ v₁f) / m₂

    v₂f = (3 (-4) - 1 6) / 2

   v₂f = - 9 m / 2

The negative sign indicates that body 2 (botton) is descending

Now we can use the momentum and momentum relationship for the body during the explosion

    I = F t = Dp

   F t = pf –po)

   F t= [m₁ v₁f + m₂ v₂f]

   

   I = [1 6 + 2 (-9) -0]

   I = -12 N s

This is the impulse during the explosion the negative sign indicates that it is headed down

d) impulse change

I₀ = Mv

I₀ = 3 *4

I₀ =-12 N s

 ΔI =If – I₀  

ΔI = - 12 – (-12)

ΔI = -0 N s
