A 62.0-kg athlete leaps straight up into the air from a trampoline with an initial speed of 9.6 m/s. The goal of this problem is

to find the maximum height she attains and her speed at half maximum height. (a) What are the interacting objects and how do they interact? (b) Select the height at which the athlete's speed is 9.6 m/s as y = 0. What is her kinetic energy at this point? (c) What is her kinetic energy at maximum height? 0 Correct: Your answer is correct. J What is the gravitational potential energy associated with the athlete? (d) Write a general equation for energy conservation in this case and solve for the maximum height. e) Write the general equation for energy conservation and solve for the velocity at half the maximum height.

Answer:

2856.96 J

0

\frac{1}{2}mv_i^2+mgh_i=\frac{1}{2}mv_f^2+mgh_f

6.78822 m/s

Explanation:

v_i = Initial velocity = 9.6 m/s

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h = Height

The athlete only interacts with the gravitational potential energy. Air resistance is neglected.

At height y = 0

Kinetic energy

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow K=\frac{1}{2}\times 62\times 9.6^2\\\Rightarrow K=2856.96\ J

At height y = 0 the potential energy is 0 as

P=mgy\\\Rightarrow P=mg0=0

At maximum height her velocity becomes 0 so the kinetic energy becomes zero.

As the the potential and kinetic energy are conserved

The general equation

K_i+P_i=K_f+P_f\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}mv_i^2+mgh_i=\frac{1}{2}mv_f^2+mgh_f

Half of maximum height

\\\Rightarrow mgh_i+\frac{1}{2}mv_f^2=mg\frac{h_i}{2}+\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow gh_i=g\frac{h_i}{2}+\frac{1}{2}v^2\\\Rightarrow g\frac{h_i}{2}=\frac{1}{2}v^2\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{gh}

h_i=\frac{v_i^2}{2g}

v=\sqrt{gh}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{g\times \frac{v_i^2}{2g}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\frac{v_i^2}{2}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\frac{9.6^2}{2}}\\\Rightarrow v=6.78822\ m/s

The velocity of the athlete at half the maximum height is 6.78822 m/s

Two 2.0 cm by 2.0 cm metal electrodes are spaced 1.0 mm apart and connected by wires of the terminals of a 9.0 V battery.
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

Explanation:

Area of electrodes, A = 2 cm x 2 cm = 4 cm²

Separation between electrodes, d = 1 mm

Voltage, V = 9 V

(a)

Let C is the capacitance between the electrodes

C = \frac{\epsilon _{0}A}{d}

C = \frac{8.854\times 10^{-12}\times 4\times 10^{-4}}{1\times 10^{-3}}

C = 3.54 x 10^-12 F

Let q be the charge on each of the electrode

q = C x V

q = 3.54 x 10^-12 x 9 = 3.2 x 10^-11 C

(b)

As, the battery is disconnected the charge on the electrodes remains same.

(c)

As the battery is connected the voltage is same.

capacitance is change.

As the distance is doubled, the capacitance becomes half and the charge is also halved. q' = q/2 = 1.6 x 10^-11 C

A. momentum = mass x velocity
b. kinetic energy = 1/2 x mass x velocity^2
Although total momentum is conserved, total kinetic energy is not necessarily equal. It’s because Jay acted a force on the skateboard and increased the energy of the system.

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

No, the acceleration is not always zero.

Explanation:

It does not mean that the acceleration of the particle is zero.

The velocity of wave is different from the velocity of particle.

The acceleration of wave is different from the acceleration of particle.

the acceleration of the particle is given by

a =- w^2 y

where, w is the angular frequency and y is the displacement from the mean position.

So, the acceleration is zero at mean position only and it varies as the position changes.

How many times should the power develop by the engine of a ship increases to double is velocity i the resistance of the water to
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

If the ship speed is doubled, then the power developed is 8 times the initial value.

Explanation:

ship power is roughly proportional to the cube of the speed, so

P ∝ v³

If the speed is doubled, then the power developed becomes

P  ∝ (2)³ = 8 times

Therefore, if the ship speed is doubled, then the power developed is 8 times the initial value.
