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.

What is the y component of a vector defined as 12.2m at 81.5°?
sergejj [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is a displacement vector since it is defined in terms of distance (meters, to be exact). The way you find the y-component is

V_y=Vsin\theta which says that you multiply the magnitude of the vector (its length) by the sin of the direction (the angle):

V_y=12.2sin(81.5) and get

V_y=12.1 m

A vertical tube one meter long is open at the top. It is filled with 50 cm of water. If the velocity of sound is 344 m/s, what w
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

The fundamental resonance frequency is 172 Hz.

Explanation:

Given;

velocity of sound, v = 344 m/s

total length of tube, Lt = 1 m = 100 cm

height of water, hw = 50 cm

length of air column, L = Lt - hw = 100 cm - 50 cm = 50 cm

For a tube open at the top (closed pipe), the fundamental wavelength is given as;

Node to anti-node (N ---- A) : L = λ / 4

λ = 4L

λ = 4 (50 cm)

λ = 200 cm = 2 m

The fundamental resonance frequency is given by;

f_0 = \frac{v}{\lambda}\\\\f_0 = \frac{344}{2}\\\\f_0 = 172 \ Hz\\\\

Therefore, the fundamental resonance frequency is 172 Hz.

If a FM radio station broadcasts at 80. 3 MHz (megahertz), what is its wavelength in m (speed of light 3. 0 x 108 m/s)
hammer [34]

Answer:

Wavelength = 3.74 m

Explanation:

In order to find wavelength in "metres", we must first convert megahertz to hertz.

1 MHz = 1 × 10⁶ Hz

80.3 Mhz = <em>x</em>

<em>x </em>= 80.3 × 1 × 10⁶ = 8.03 × 10⁷ Hz

The formula between wave speed, frequency and wavelength is:

v = fλ  [where v is wave speed, f is frequency and λ is wavelength]

Reorganise the equation and make λ the subject.

λ = v ÷ f

λ = (3 × 10⁸) ÷ (8.03 × 10⁷)

λ = 3.74 m [rounded to 3 significant figures]

Two point charges, with charge magnitudes q and ????, are placed a distance r apart. In this arrangement, each point charge expe
sammy [17]

Answer:

1)  Q ’= 8 Q ,  2)    q ’= 16 q ,  3)   r ’= ¾ r

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use Coulomb's law

      F = k q Q / r²

It asks us to calculate the change of any of the parameters so that the force is always F

Original values

                q, Q, r

Scenario 1

      q ’= 2q

       r ’= 4r

     F = k q ’Q’ / r’²

we substitute

     F = k 2q Q ’/ (4r)²

     F = k 2q Q '/ 16r²

we substitute the value of F

      k q Q / r² = k q Q '/ 8r²

       Q ’= 8 Q

Scenario 2

       Q ’= Q

       r ’= 4r

we substitute

      F = k q ’Q / 16r²

      k q Q / r² = k q’ Q / 16 r²

      q ’= 16 q

Scenario 3

      q ’= 3/2 q

      Q ’= ⅜ Q

we substitute

        k q Q r² = k (3/2 q) (⅜ Q) / r’²

        r’² = 9/16 r²

        r ’= ¾ r

What is the net force exerted by these two charges on a third charge q3 = 49.5 nC placed between q1 and q2 at x3 = -1.170 m ? Yo
insens350 [35]

Full Question

Consider two point charges located on the x axis: one charge, Q1 = -12.0 nC , is located at x1 = -1.705m ; the second charge, Q2 = 36.5 nC, is at the origin (x=0.0000).

What is the net force exerted by these two charges on a third charge q3 = 49.5 nC placed between q1 and q2 at x3 = -1.170 m ? Your answer may be positive or negative, depending on the direction of the force.

Answer:

6.79E6 N

Explanation:

Given

Q1 is negative and to the left of Q3 the force will be to the left

Q2 is positive and to the right of Q3 the the force will also be to the left

Net Force is calculated as:

Using Coulomb's law

Coulomb's law: F = kqQ / r²

the constant k = 8.99 x 10^9 N m2 / C2

F = -kQ1*Q3/(r1)² -kQ2*Q3/(r2)²)

F = -kQ3(Q1/(r1)² + Q2/(r2)²)

Where

Q1 = -12nC = -12 * 10^-9C

Q2 = 36.5nC = 36.5 * 10^-9C

Q3 = 49.5nC = 49.5 * 10^-9C

x1 = -1.705m

x2 = x = 0

x3 = -1.170m

r1 = x3 - x1

r1 = -1.170 - -1.705

r1 = -1.170 + 1.705

r1 = 0.535

r1² = 0.286225

r2 = x3

r2 = -1.170

r2² = -1.170²

r2² = 1.3689

So,

F = (-8.99 * 10^9)(49.5 *10^-9) [-12 * 10^-9/0.286225 + 36.5 * 10^-9/1.3689]

F = -445.005 (−4.192505895711E−8 + 2.6663744612462E−8)

F = -445.005 * −1.5261314344648E−8

F = -(8.99 * 10^9) * (49.5 * 10^-9) * [ (-12 * 10^-9) /(-1.770 - -1.705)² + (36.5 * 10^-9)/(-1.170)²]

F = -445.005( −0.000002813572941777538)

F = 0.00000679136118994008324

F = 6.79E6 N
