Answer:
a) The takeoff speed is 10 m/s.
b) The maximum height above the ground is 1.2 m.
Explanation:
The position of the kangaroo and its velocity at any given time "t" can be calculated by the following equations:
r = (x0 + v0 · t · cos α, y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²)
v =(v0 · cos α, v0 · sin α + g · t)
Where:
r = position vector at time "t".
x0 = initial horizontal position.
v0 = initial velocity.
α = jumping angle.
y0 = initial vertical position.
g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive).
v = velocity vector at time "t"
a) Please see the attached figure for a better understanding of the problem. In red is depicted the position vector at the final time (r final). The components of r final are known:
r final = (8.7 m, 0 m)
Then at final time:
8.7 m = x0 + v0 · t · cos α
0 m = y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²
(notice in the figure that the origin of the frame of reference is located at the jumping point so that x0 and y0 = 0). Then:
8.7 m = v0 · t · cos α
Solving for "v0":
8.7 m /(t · cos α) = v0
Replacing v0 in the equation of the y-component, we can obtain the final time:
0 m = 8.7 m · tan 29° - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t² (remember: sin α / cos α = tan α)
- 8.7 m · tan 29° / -4.9 m/s² = t²
t = 0.99 s
Now, we can calculate the initial speed:
8.7 m /t · cos α = v0
v0 = 8.7 m / (0.99 s · cos 29°)
<u>v0 = 10 m/s</u>
The takeoff speed is 10 m/s
b) When the kangaroo is at its maximum height, the velocity vector is horizontal (see figure). That means that the y-component of the velocity at that time is 0:
0 = v0 · sin α + g · t
Solving for "t":
-v0 · sin α / g = t
t = - 10 m/s · sin 29° / 9.8 m/s²
t = 0.49 s
Notice that we could have halved the final time (0.99 s, calculated above) to obtain the time at which the kangaroo is at its maximum height. That´s because the trajectory is parabolic.
Now, let´s find the height of the kangaroo at that time:
y = y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²
y = 10 m/s · 0.49 s · sin 29° - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · (0.49 s)²
<u>y = 1.2 m</u>
The maximum height above the ground is 1.2 m.
Answer:
A) 12P
Explanation:
The power produced by a force is given by the equation
where
W is the work done by the force
T is the time in which the work is done
At the beginning in this problem, we have:
W = work done by the force
T = time taken
So the power produced is
Later, the force does six times more work, so the work done now is
And this work is done in half the time, so the new time is
Substituting into the equation of the power, we find the new power produced:
So, 12 times more power.
