In the aerials competition in skiing, the competitors speed down a ramp that slopes sharply upward at the end. The sharp upward

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

u = 11.6 m/s

Explanation:

The end of a launch ramp is directed 63° above the horizontal. A skier attains a height of 10.9 m above the end of the ramp.

Maximum height, H = 10.9

Let v is the launch speed of the skier. The maximum height attained by the projectile is given by :

$H=\dfrac{u^2\ sin^2\theta}{g}$

$10.9=\dfrac{u^2\ sin^2(63)}{9.8}$

u = 11.6 m/s

So, the launch speed of the skier is 11.6 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

A speeding car collides with an unlucky bug flying across the road. Which explains why the impact doesn’t equally damage the car

velikii [3]

The bug was a lot smaller than the car, that's for sure. The car is bigger and sturdier, while the bug is smaller and frail. The bug is so frail, that rather that putting a dent in the car, it splatters all over the car. The bug is very damaged (obviously), while the car just needs a good wash.

If you set the cruise control of your car to a certain speed and take a turn, the speed of the car will remain the same. Is the

Bumek [7]

Answer:

Yes, the car has acceleration.

Explanation:

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. The velocity is a vector quantity. If a car is moving with constant speed but taking a turn, it means the velocity is changing, so the car have some acceleration.

You stand on a bridge above a river and drop a rock into the water below from a height of 25 m. (Assume no air resistance)

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

PART a)

here when stone is dropped there is only gravitational force on it

so its acceleration is only due to gravity

so we will have

$a = g = 9.8 m/s^2$

Part b)

Now from kinematics equation we will have

$y = v_i t + \frac{1}{2} at^2$

now we have

y = 25 m

so from above equation

$25 = 0 + \frac{1}{2}(9.8 )t^2$

$t = 2.26 s$

Part c)

If we throw the rock horizontally by speed 20 m/s

then in this case there is no change in the vertical velocity

so it will take same time to reach the water surface as it took initially

So t = 2.26 s

Part D)

Initial speed = 20 m/s

angle of projection = 65 degree

now we have

$v_x = vcos\theta$

$v_x = 20 cos65 = 8.45 m/s$

$v_y = vsin\theta$

$v_y = 20 sin65 = 18.13 m/s$

PART E)

when stone will reach to maximum height then we know that its final speed in y direction becomes zero

so here we can use kinematics in Y direction

$v_f - v_y = at$

$0 - 18.13 = (-9.8) t$

$t = 1.85 s$

so it will take 1.85 s to reach the top

A wire of length 6cm makes an angle of 20° with a 3 mT

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

Approximately $7.3 \times 10^{-3}\; \rm A$ (approximately $7.3\; \rm mA$ ) assuming that the magnetic field and the wire are both horizontal.

Explanation:

Let $\theta$ denote the angle between the wire and the magnetic field.

Let $B$ denote the magnitude of the magnetic field.

Let $l$ denote the length of the wire.

Let $I$ denote the current in this wire.

The magnetic force on the wire would be:

$F = B \cdot l \cdot I \cdot \sin(\theta)$ .

Because of the $\sin(\theta)$ term, the magnetic force on the wire is maximized when the wire is perpendicular to the magnetic field (such that the angle between them is $90^\circ$ .)

In this question:

$\theta = 20^\circ$ (or, equivalently, $(\pi / 9)$ radians, if the calculator is in radian mode.)
$B = 3\; \rm mT = 3 \times 10^{-3}\; \rm T$ .
$l = 6\; \rm cm = 6 \times 10^{-2}\;\rm m$ .
$F = 1.5\times 10^{-4}\; \rm N$ .

Rearrange the equation $F = l \cdot I \cdot \sin(\theta)$ to find an expression for $I$ , the current in this wire.

$\begin{aligned} I &= \frac{F}{l \cdot \sin(\theta)} \\ &= \frac{3\times 10^{-3}\; \rm T}{6 \times 10^{-2}\; \rm m \times \sin \left(20^{\circ}\right)} \\ &\approx 7.3 \times 10^{-3}\; \rm A = 7.3 \; \rm mA\end{aligned}$ .
