Answer:
103.5 meters
Explanation:
Given that a stunt person has to jump from a bridge and land on a boat in the water 22.5 m below. The boat is cruising at a constant velocity of 48.3 m/s towards the bridge. The stunt person will jump up at 6.45 m/s as they leave the bridge.
The time the person will jump to a certain spot under the bridge can be calculated by using the formula below:
h = Ut + 1/2gt^2
since the person will fall under gravity, g = 9.8 m/s^2
Also, let assume that the person jump from rest, then, U = 0
Substitute h, U and g into the formula above
22.5 = 1/2 * 9.8 * t^2
22.5 = 4.9t^2
22.5 = 4.9t^2
t^2 = 22.5/4.9
t^2 = 4.59
t =
t = 2.143 seconds
From definition of speed,
speed = distance /time
Given that the boat is cruising at a constant velocity of 48.3 m/s towards the bridge, substitute the speed and the time to get the distance.
48.3 = distance / 2.143
distance = 48.3 * 2.143
distance = 103.5 m
Therefore, the boat should be 103.5m away from the bridge at the moment the stunt person jumps?
To solve this problem we will use the trigonometric concepts to find the distance h, which will allow us to find the speed of Jeff and that will finally be the variable that will indicate the total tension, since it is the variable of the centrifugal Force given in the vine at the lowest poing of the swing.
From the image:
When Jeff reaches his lowest point his potential energy is converted to kinetic energy
Tension in the string at the lowest point is sum of weight of Jeff and the his centripetal force
Therefore the tension in the vine at the lowest point of the swing is 842.49N
