Answer:

She must be launched with minimum speed of <u>57.67 m/s</u> to clear the 520 m gap.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The angle of projection of the projectile is, \theta =65°

Range of the projectile is, R=520 m.

Acceleration due to gravity, g=9.8\ m/s^2

The minimum speed to cross the gap is the initial speed of the projectile and can be determined using the formula for range of projectile.

The range of projectile is given as:

R=\frac{v_{0}^2\sin2\theta}{g}

Plug in all the given values and solve for minimum speed, v_0.

520=\frac{v_{0}^2\sin(2(65))}{9.8}\\520\times 9.8=v_{0}^2\sin(130)\\5096=1.532v_{0}^2\\v_0^2=\frac{5096}{1.532}\\v_0^2=3326.371\\v_0=\sqrt{3326.371}=57.67\textrm{ m/s}

Therefore, she must be launched with minimum speed of 57.67 m/s to clear the 520 m gap.

Varg sees a spring that has a spring constant of 4 N/m that is stretched 5 m. He stretches the spring an additional 5 m. Conside
AysviL [449]

Answer:

Elastic potential energy, E = 200 J

Explanation:

It is given that,

Spring constant, K = 4 N/m

initial stretching in the spring, x = 5 m

Finally, it is stretched an additional 5 m i.e. x' = 5 m        

Let E is the elastic energy in the spring after Varg stretches the spring. it is given by :

E=\dfrac{1}{2}k(x+x')^2

E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 4\times (10)^2

E = 200 J

So, the elastic energy in the spring after Varg stretches the spring is 200 J. hence, this is the required solution.

A car is driving along a road at a speed of 50 km/hr. How far will the car travel in 5 hours?​
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

I think it's 250

Explanation:

If the car is traveling 50 km/hr that means every hour, the car drives 50 km. So if you want to know how far it will go in 5 hours you do 50x5.

A physics student tests the theory of projectile motion by leaping off a 225 meter tall building. She runs off the building hori
tamaranim1 [39]
In this item, we are given with the x-component of the velocity. The y-component is equal to 0 m/s. The time it takes for it to reach the volume can be related through the equation,

   d = V₀t + 0.5gt²

Substituting the known values,

  225 = (0 m/s)(t) + (0.5)(9.8)(t²)

Simplifying,
 
   t = 6.776 s

To determine the distance of the student from the edge of the building, we multiply the x-component by the calculated time.


   range = (12.5 m/s)(6.776 s)

   range = 84.7 m

<em>Answer: 84.7 m</em>
