During a race the dirt bike was observed to leap up off the small hill at A at an angle of 60^o with the horizontal. If the poin

t of landing is 20 ft away, determine the approximate speed at which the bike was traveling just before it left the ground. Neglect the size of the bike for the calculation.

Answer:

Velocity is equal to 27.3 feet per second  and time is equal to 1.4668 seconds

Explanation:

Given

The horizontal distance traveled by  dirt bike before landing = 20 feet

Angle of flight = 60 degree

As we know that Horizontal distance (H) is equal to

= H_0 + V_0 * t\\

Where H_0 is the initial horizontal distance

V_0 is the velocity with which the bike is travelling in horizontal direction

and t is the time in seconds

Substituting the given values, we get -

H = H_0 + v*t\\20 = 0 + v * cos \theta * t\\20 = v * cos 60 * t\\t = \frac{20}{v * cos 60} \\t = \frac{40}{v}

Now distance traveled in vertical direction is equal to

Y = Y_0 + v_0 * t + \frac{1}{2} a * t^2

here acceleration will be equal to acceleration due to gravity which is equal to - 32.2 \frac{ft}{s^2}. It is negative as its is acting in upward direction

Thus,

Y = 0 + v * sin 60 + \frac{1}{2}  * (-32.2) * (\frac{40}{v} )^2\\0 = 0  + 0.866 v + \frac{-25760}{v^2} \\0.866 v = \frac{-25760}{v^2}\\v^3 = \frac{-25760}{0.866} \\v = 27.3

Velocity is equal to 27.3 feet per second  and time is equal to 1.4668 seconds

How to find aceleration
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

a=\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t_{f}-t_{i}}

Explanation:

Formula for AVERAGE acceleration

a=\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t_{f}-t_{i}}

v_{f} is Final Velocity

v_{i} is Initial Velocity

t_{f} is Final Time

t_{i} is Initial Time

Most of the time, the initial time will be 0, so you won't have to subtract.

The Steamboat Geyser in Yellowstone National Park shoots water into the air at 48.0 m/s. How
qwelly [4]

Answer:

The maximum height reached by the water is 117.55 m.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the water, u = 48 m/s

at maximum height the final velocity will be zero, v = 0

the water is going upwards, i.e in the negative direction of gravity, g = -9.8 m/s².

The maximum height reached by the water is calculated as follows;

v² = u² + 2gh

where;

h is the maximum height reached by the water

0 = u² + 2gh

0 = (48)² + ( 2 x -9.8 x h)

0 = 2304 - 19.6h

19.6h = 2304

h = 2304 / 19.6

h = 117.55 m

Therefore, the maximum height reached by the water is 117.55 m.
