You are a member of a citizen's committee investigating safety in the high school sports program. You are interested in knee dam

age to athletes participating in the long jump (sometimes called the broad jump). The coach has her best long jumper demonstrate the event for you. He runs down the track and, at the take-off point, jumps into the air at an angle of 30 degrees from the horizontal. He comes down in a sand pit at the same level as the track 26 feet away from his take-off point. With what velocity (both magnitude and direction) did he hit the ground?

Answer:

The long jumper hits the ground with a velocity of 158.54 ft/s at and angle of 30° from the horizontal.

Explanation:

This is a an example of projectile motion.

It should first be stated that the effects of air resistance and friction are negligible, so horizontal velocity does not change over the course of the jump.

To solve this problem, let's first express the x and y velocity of the jumper as components of the initial velocity and angle:

V_x = V*Cos(30°)

V_y = V*Sin(30°)

The distance traveled by the athlete is 26 feet, so we have:

Distance = Speed * time

26 = V*Cos(30) * time         -Equation (1)

We can also make an equation for the y velocity as follows:

s=V_y*t + 0.5(a*t^2)

here a = -32.2 ft/s^2

s = 0 ft

and V_y=V*Sin(30°)

so we get:

0=VSin(30)*t+0.5(-32.2t^2)            -Equation (2)

Solving equations 1 and 2 simultaneously we get:

V = 158.54 ft/s

t = 0.1894 s

The direction of landing remains the same as the direction of the initial jump (30° from the horizontal). This is because the height is the same, and horizontal velocity remains constant with vertical velocity being exactly the same negative value as that from liftoff.

Does displacement must be straight and must include direction
Solnce55 [7]
Displacement is the total space between point a and b. For example, If I walk 3 times North, 6 times East, and 7 times North, what is the displacement? The answer is 10 because when I walked East there was on object blocking my way.

An ideal transformer has 60 turns in its primary coil and 360 turns in its secondary coil. If the input rms voltage for the 60-t
notka56 [123]

Answer:

720 V

Explanation:

Given that,

The number of turns in primary coil, N₁ = 60

The number of turns in secondary coil, N₂ = 360

The input rms voltage, V₁ = 120 V

We need to find the output rms voltage of the secondary coil . The relation between number of turns in primary coil - secondary coil to the input rms voltage to the output rms voltage is given by :

\dfrac{N_1}{N_2}=\dfrac{V_1}{V_2}\\\\V_2=\dfrac{N_2V_1}{N_2}\\\\V_2=\dfrac{360\times 120}{60}\\\\V_2=720\ V

<h3>So, the output rms voltage of the secondary coil is 720 V. Hence, the correct option is (b).</h3>

A certain piece of metal (density 9.45 grams per cubic centimeter) has the shape of a hockey puck with a diameter of 13 cm and a
atroni [7]

Answer:

0.0195 m

Explanation:

\rho _{p} = density of hockey puck = 9.45 gcm⁻³ = 9450 kgm³

d_{p} = diameter of hockey puck = 13 cm = 0.13 m

h_{p} = height of hockey puck = 2.8 cm = 0.028 m

\rho _{m} = density of mercury = 13.6 gcm⁻³ = 13600 kgm³

d = depth of puck below surface of mercury

According to Archimedes principle, the weight of puck is balanced by the weight of mercury displaced by puck

Weight of mercury displaced = Weight of puck

\rho _{m} (0.25)(\pi d_{p}^{2} d ) g = \rho _{p} (0.25)(\pi d_{p}^{2} h_{p} ) g\\\rho _{m} ( d ) = \rho _{p} ( h_{p} )\\(13600) d = (9450) (0.028)\\d = 0.0195 m
