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 3.3 kg ball sits on the ground and is kicked with a FAPP of 36N
jeyben [28]

a) 32.3 N

The force of gravity (also called weight) on an object is given by

W = mg

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration of gravity

For the ball in the problem,

m = 3.3 kg

g = 9.8 m/s^2

Substituting, we find the force of gravity on the ball:

W=(3.3)(9.8)=32.3 N

b) 48.3 N

The force applied

F_{app} = 36 N

The ball is kicked with this force, so we can assume that the kick is horizontal.

This means that the applied force and the weight are perpendicular to each other. Therefore, we can find the net force by using Pythagorean's theorem:

F=\sqrt{W^2+F_{app}^2}

And substituting

W = 32.3 N

Fapp = 36 N

We find

F=\sqrt{32.3^2+36^2}=48.3 N

c) 14.6 m/s^2

The ball's acceleration can be found by using Newton's second law, which states that

F = ma

where

F is the net force on an object

m is its mass

a is its acceleration

For the ball in this problem,

m = 3.3 kg

F = 48.3 N

Solving the equation for a, we find

a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{48.3}{3.3}=14.6 m/s^2

The difference between the speed of sound n air at 0°C and the speed of sound in air at 20°c is that... A. Cooler air molecules
sergejj [24]
Heat, like sound, is kinetic energy. Molecules at higher temperatures heave more energy, thus they can vibrate faster. Since the molecules vibrate faster, sound waves can travel more quickly. 

So the answer is A.

Agata [3.3K]
Electrons are important to the electric current because they are able to move from one atom to another. When an atom loses an electron, it becomes positively charged and when an atom gains an electron, it becomes negatively charged.

Below, the two-way table is given for a class of students. Freshmen Sophomore Juniors Seniors Total Male 4 6 2 2 Female 3 4 6 3
julsineya [31]

The required probability is 3/4.We have to compute the probability

P(Female |Junior) because we have to find the probability of the female student and the given condition is that the student is junior.

Determine the total number of juniors.Juniors=2+6=8

<h3>What is the probability?</h3>

Probability is the branch of mathematics concerning numerical descriptions of how likely an event is to occur, or how likely it is that a proposition is true. The probability of an event is a number between 0 and 1, where, roughly speaking, 0 indicates the impossibility of the event and 1 indicates certainty.

Since the number of females who are junior is 6, determine the required probability.

P(Female|Junior)=6/8=3/4

Therefore, the required probability is 3/4.
