The 1994 Winter Olympics included the aerials competition in skiing. In this event skiers speed down a ramp that slopes sharply

upward at the end. The sharp upward slope launches them into the air, where they perform acrobatic maneuvers. In the women's competition, the end of a typical launch ramp is directed 61° above the horizontal. With this launch angle, a skier attains a height of 16 m above the end of the ramp. What is the skier's launch speed?

Answer: Got It!

<em>Explanation: </em>let s = speed at launch

v = 0 at top = s sin 63 - g t

so at top

t = s sin 63/g = .0909 s

h = 13.6 = s sin 63 t - 4.9 t^2

13.6 = .081s^2 - .0405 s^2

s^2 = 336

s = 18.3 m/s

Mike is standing on the roof of a building looking at the roof of the neighboring building that is 15 meters away and 10 meters

amid [387]

Answer:

Part a)

$t = 1.65 s$

Part b)

$x = 40.4 m$

Since the distance of other building is 15 m so YES it can make it to other building

Part c)

$v = 27.3 m/s$

direction of velocity is given as

$[tex]\theta = 26.35 degree$

Explanation:

Part a)

acceleration due to gravity on this planet is 3/4 times the gravity on earth

So the acceleration due to gravity on this new planet is given as

$a = \frac{3}{4}(9.81)$

$a = 7.36 m/s^2$

now the vertical displacement covered by the canister is given as

$y = 10 m$

now by kinematics we have

$y = \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$10 = \frac{1}{2}(7.36)t^2$

$t = 1.65 s$

Part b)

Horizontal speed of the canister is given as

$v_x = 24.5 m/s$

now the distance moved by it

$x = v_x t$

$x = 24.5 (1.65)$

$x = 40.4 m$

Since the distance of other building is 15 m so YES it can make it to other building

Part c)

Final velocity in X direction will remains the same

$v_x = 24.5 m/s$

final velocity in Y direction

$v_y = v_i + at$

$v_y = 0 + (7.36)(1.65)$

$v_y = 12.14 m/s$

now magnitude of velocity is given as

$v = \sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2}$

$v = \sqrt{24.5^2 + 12.14^2}$

$v = 27.3 m/s$

direction of velocity is given as

$\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{v_y}{v_x}$

$\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{12.14}{24.5}$

$[tex]\theta = 26.35 degree$

A charged cloud system produces an electric field in the air near earth's surface. a particle of charge -2.0 × 10-9 c is acted o

defon

Part a)

Magnitude of electric field is given by force per unit charge

$E = \frac{F}{q}$

$E = \frac{4.3 * 10^{-6}}{2 * 10^{-9}}$

$E = 2150 N/C$

Part b)

Electrostatic force on the proton is given as

F = qE

$F = 1.6 * 10^{-19} * 2150$

$F = 3.44 * 10^{-16} N$

PART C)

Gravitational force is given by

$F_g = mg$

$F_g = 1.6 * 10^{-27}*9.8$

$F_g = 1.57 * 10^{-26} N$

PART d)

Ratio of electric force to weight

$\frac{F_e}{F_g} = \frac{3.44 * 10^{-16}}{1.57*10^{-26}}$

$\frac{F_e}{F_g} = 2.2 * 10^{10}$

A 100-N force causes an object to<br> accelerate at 2 m/s/s. What is the<br> mass of the object?

Kitty [74]

Answer:

$50\; \rm kg$ .

Explanation:

By Newton's Second Law, the acceleration $a$ of an object is proportional to the net force $\sum F$ on it. In particular, if the mass of the object is $m$ , then

$\sum F = m \cdot a$ .

Rewrite this equation to obtain:

$\displaystyle m = \frac{\sum F}{a}$ .

In this case, the assumption is that the $100\; \rm N$ force is the only force that is acting on the object. Hence, the net force $\sum F$ on the object would also be

Make sure that all values are in their standard units. Forces should be in Newtons (same as $\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-2}$ , and the acceleration of the object should be in meters-per-second-squared ( $\rm m \cdot s^{-2}$ ). Apply the equation $\displaystyle m = \frac{\sum F}{a}$ to find the mass of the object.

$\displaystyle m = \frac{100\; \rm N}{2\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}} = 50\; \rm kg$ .
