Answer:
0.14 seconds
Explanation:
The speed of light in vacuum is approximately 3.0*10^8. The distance that would be covered by the object would be equivalent to the circumference of the cross-section of the earth on the equator.
Circumference = 2*6400000 =4.02*10^7
Time = distance/speed = 4.2*10^7 / 3.0*10^8 =0.14s
Answer:
The vertical distance that the ski jumper fell is 417.45 m.
Explanation:
Given;
initial horizontal velocity of the jumper, = 26 m/s
horizontal distance of the jumper, dx = 240 m
The time of the motion is given by;
dx = Vₓt
t = dx / Vₓ
t = 240 / 26
t = 9.23 s
The vertical distance traveled by the diver is given by;
initial vertical velocity, , = 0
Therefore, the vertical distance that the ski jumper fell is 417.45 m.
