A gymnast practices two dismounts from the high bar on the uneven parallel bars. during one dismount, she swings up off the bar

with an initial upward velocity of + 4.0 m/s. in the second, she releases from the same height but with an initial downward velocity of −3.0 m/s. what is her acceleration in each case? how do the final velocities of the gymnast as she reaches the ground differ?

<span>The working formula to analyze this problem is Vf^2 - Vo^2 = 2gs where Vf = velocity at which the gymnast hits the ground Vo = initial velocity of the gymnast (given as 4 m/s and -3 m/s) g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/sec^2 (constant) s = height at which gymnast starts her dismount For the first dismount, Vf^2 - (4)^2 = 2(9.8)(s) Vf^2 = 16 + 19.6s and for the second dismount, Vf^2 - (-3)^2 = 2(9.8)(s) Vf^2 = 9 + 1.6s Since "s" is the same for both dismounts, then her final velocity in the first dismount is higher than that of her second dismount.</span>

Consider a mass initially moving at 7.50 m/s. How does it take to move 3.5 km (Be sure to convert to meters) if it accelerates a
Tomtit [17]
The mass is moving by uniformly accelerated motion, with initial velocity v_i=7.50 m/s and acceleration a=0.55 m/s^2. Its position at time t is given by the following law:
x(t)=v_i t + \frac{1}{2}at^2
where we take the initial position x_i=0 since we are only interested in the distance traveled by the mass.

If we put x(t)=d=3.5 km=3500 m into the equation, the corresponding time t is the time it takes for the mass to travel this distance:
\frac{1}{2}at^2+v_it-d=0
4.9t^2+7.5t-3500 =0
And the two solutions for the equation are:
t=-25.5 s --> negative, we can discard it
t=24.0 s --> this is the solution to our problem

A spring is used to launch a coffee mug. The 20cm long spring can be compressed by a maximum of 8cm. The mug has a mass of 350 g
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

7503.13 N/m

Explanation:

Use principle of conservation of energy.

Here, energy stored in the spring due to compression shall be utilized in attaining the potential energy of the mug.

Given that,

Length of the spring = 20 cm = 0.20 m

Compression, x = 8 cm = 0.08 m

mass of the mug, m = 350 g = 0.35 kg

h = 7 m

use the expression for energy balance -

(1/2)*k*x^2 = m*g*h

=> k = (2*m*g*h) / x^2

input the values

k = (2*0.35*9.8*7) / 0.08^2

= 7503.13 N/m

Explain how the perfume atomizer works under Bernoulli's principle
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

In an atomizer, or perfume sprayer, you squeeze a rubber bulb to squirt air through a tube. Because of the Bernoulli principle, the air rushing through the tube has a lower pressure than the surrounding atmosphere. ... The perfume is pushed out of the tube and sprays into the air as a fine mist.

a sound with a constant frequency is produced by the siren on top of a firehouse. Compared to the frequency produced by the sire
polet [3.4K]
There's an effect called The Doppler Effect, that's the "up and down" sound.
That frequency is 1.8mm and 115 per minute.
