A car comes to a bridge during a storm and finds the bridge washed out. The driver must get to the other side, so he decides to

try leaping it with his car. The side the car is on is 21.5 m above the river, whereas the opposite side is a mere 1.5 m above the river. The river itself is a raging torrent 69.0 m wide.
Required:
a. How fast should the car be traveling just as it leaves the cliff in order just to clear the river and land safely on the opposite side?
b. What is the speed of the car just before it lands safely on the other side?

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

a) The vertical displacement = Δy = 21.5 m - 1.5 m = 20 m

The horizontal displacement = Δx = 69 m wide

Using the formula:

\Delta y = u_yt+ \frac{1}{2}a_yt^2\\ \\u_y=initial\ velocity\ of \ car\ in\ y\ direction = 0,a_y=g=acceleration\ due\ to\ gravity\\=10m/s^2\\\\\Delta y =  \frac{1}{2}a_yt^2\\\\\Delta y=\frac{1}{2}a_yt^2\\\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2\Delta y}{a_y} }=\sqrt{\frac{2*20}{10} }  =2\ m/s

Also:

\Delta x = u_xt+ \frac{1}{2}a_xt^2\\ \\u_x=initial\ velocity\ of \ car\ in\ x\ direction = 0,a_x=acceleration=0\\\\\Delta x =  u_xt\\\\u_x=\frac{\Delta x}{t}=\frac{69}{2} =34.5\ m/s

b)The car is moving at a constant speed in the horizontal direction, hence the initial velocity = final velocity

v_x=u_x=34.5\ m/s\\\\v_y=u_y+a_yt\\\\v_y=0+gt\\\\v_y=10(2)=20\ m/s\\\\v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}=\sqrt{34.5^2+20^2}=39.9\ m/s\\ v=39.9\ m/s

A bird accelerating from rest at a constant rate,experiences a displacement of 28 m in 11s.What is its acceleration
Ksenya-84 [330]
Use the formula below for this question:

v_{f} = v_{i} + 2 * a * d

re-arrange to solve for a:

a = \frac{v_{f} - v_{i}}{2 * d}

now simply plug in your variables and there's your answer :). If you ever get stuck, you can look up the kinematic equations!

While playing baseball with your friends your hands begin to sting after you ctach several fast balls.
muminat

Answer:

Explanation:

To stop a ball with high momentum in a small-time imparts a high amount of impact on hands. This is the reason for the stinging of hands.

The momentum of the ball is due to the mass and velocity. To prevent stinging in the hand one needs to lower his hands to increase the time of contact. In this way, the momentum transfer to the hands will be lesser.

Advocard [28]

Answer:

Resistivity ρ=1.12 x 10^-4 Ωm

Explanation:

ρ= RA/l, where R is resistance, A is cross sectional area and l is length

A=πr^2

Note Current is given R is proportion to temperature and inversely proportional to Current R=(20+273)/14*10^-2 =2000Ω

⇒ρ=R*πr^2/l all length in metre.

Someone please help. Describe how electric potential energy, kinetic energy, and work change when two charges of opposite sign a
erik [133]

Answer:

The answer is based on the conservation of energy law; something you should really understand by now.  

For convenience we can hold one of the two charges still; it becomes the frame of reference. And everything we say is in reference to the designated static charge, call it Q.  

So the moving charge, call it q, has total energy TE = PE. It's all potential energy as we start with q not moving.  

It has potential energy because in order to separate q from Q, we had to do work, add energy, on q. And from the COE law, that work added is converted into PE.  

It's a bit like lifting something off the ground. That's work and it becomes GPE. So there's some work, in separating the two charges in the first place.  

But there's more.  

Now we let q go. As opposites attract, q is pulled to Q. And that force from Q is working on q, force over distance. Which means the potential energy q started with is being converted into kinetic energy. q is accelerating and picking up speed.  

And there's more work, done by the EMF on charge q. That converts the PE into KE and the q charge smashes into Q with some kinetic energy.
