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

What is the definition of work when net force is parallel to the distance?
goldfiish [28.3K]
Work in general is given by W=F·d where F is the force vector and d is the displacement vector.  The dot symbol is the dot product which is a measure of how parallel two vectors are.  It can be replaced by the cosine of the angle between the two vectors and the vectors replaced by their magnitudes.  If F and d are parallel then the angle is zero and the cosine is unity.  So in this case work can be defined as the product of the magnitudes of the force and distance:

Imagine a ringing bell set inside a sealed glass jar. Once all the air is removed and a vacuum is crated, the ringing sound is n
kenny6666 [7]

working...

Sound wave needs medium to travel

as energy which travels in this wave is because of transfer from one particle to another particle

If there is no medium then energy can not be transferred and sound wave will not travel

so in vacuum we can not listen sound

similarly here air is removed it means there is no medium inside the jar to travel the sound and hence we can not hear it

Option B is correct

Without air, the sound waves cannot travel to the ear.
