Cliff divers at Acapulco jump into the sea macias (fjm793) – Homework 3, 2d motion 19-20 – dowd – (WoffordWPHY11920 2) 4 from a

cliff 36.2 m high. At the level of the sea, a rock sticks out a horizontal distance of 11.98 m. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . With what minimum horizontal velocity must the cliff divers leave the top of the cliff if they are to miss the rock? Answer in units of m/s.

Answer:

v = 7.67 m/s

Explanation:

Given data:

horizontal distance 11.98 m

Acceleration due to gravity 9.8 m/s^2

Assuming initial velocity is zero

we know that

h = \frac{gt^2}{2}

solving for t

we have

t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}

substituing all value for time t

t = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 11.98}{9.8}}

t = 1.56 s

we know that speed is given as

v = \frac{d}{t}

v =\frac{11.98}{1.56}

v = 7.67 m/s

At what height above earth's surface is the gravitational acceleration reduced from its sea-level value by 0.40%?
GrogVix [38]
At sea level, you're 6400 km away from the earth's center. Where gravity is 0.4 fewer,

in other words 0.6 its sea level value, you're x km from the center, where:

(6400 / x) ^ 2 = 0.6)

Take note that gravity is an opposite square force.

So 6400 / x = 0.7746

so x = 8262 km from the Earth's center

so you're 8262 – 6400 = 1862 km above the Earth's surface

What happens to the ball's velocity while the ball is traveling upwards?
Bess [88]
If the ball does not have a propeller or jet engine on it, then it is an object
in free fall.  That means its downward speed grows by 9.8 m/s for every
second that it's in the air. 

If it happens to be traveling upward at the moment, then that won't last long. 
Its upward speed is decreasing by 9.8 m/s every second.  It will eventually
run out of upward gas and start moving downward.  At that instant, you might
say that the direction of its velocity has changed by 180 degrees.

A student buys a plastic dart gun and tries to find the maximum horizontal range. The student shoots the gun straight up and it
ryzh [129]

Answer:

The value is R_{max}  = 33.54 \  m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The total time of flight is  t =  3.7 \  s

Generally from kinematic equation

        v  =  u -   g * \frac{t}{2}

So v is the velocity at maximum height and the value is  v = 0 m/s

So

       0   =  u -   9.8 * \frac{ 3.7}{2}

=>   u  =  18.13  \  m/s

Here u  is the initial velocity of the dart as it leaves that gun  

Gnerally the horizontal range of the dart is mathematically represented as

         R  =  \frac{u ^2 sin 2\theta }{g}

For maximum horizontal range the value of  \theta  =  45^o        

So

         R_{max}  =  \frac{ 18.13 ^2 sin 2(45) }{9.8}

=>     R_{max}  = 33.54 \  m

A ball is dropped from a boat so that it strikes the surface of a lake with a speed of 16.5 ft/s. While in the water, the ball e
denis23 [38]
The initial velocity is
v(0) = 16.5 ft/s

While in the water, the acceleration is
a(t) = 10 - 0.\frac{dv}{dt} =10-0.8v \\\\  \frac{dv}{10-0.8v}=dt \\\\ \int_{16.5}^{v} \,  \frac{dv}{10-0.8v}  = \int_{0}^{t} dt \\\\ - \frac{1}{0.8} [ln(10-0.8v)]_{16.5}^{v}=t \\\\ ln \frac{10-0.8v}{-3.2}=-0.8t \\\\  \frac{0.8v -10}{3.2}  =e^{-0.8t} \\\\ 0.8v = 10 + 3.2e^{-0.8t} \\\\ v=12.5+4e^{-0.08t}

The velocity function is
v(t)=12.5+4e^{-0.8t}
It satisfies the condition that v(0) = 16.5 ft/s.
When t = 5.7s, obtain
v(5.7)=12.5+4e^{-0.8\times5.7} = 12.54 \, ft/s

The depth of the lake is
d=\int_{0}^{5.7} \, (12.5+4e^{-0.8t})dt \\\\ = 12.5(5.7)+ \frac{4}{(-0.8)}[e^{-0.8t}]_{0}^{5.7} \\\\ =71.25-5(0.0105-1) =76.198 \, ft

Answer:
The velocity at the bottom of the lake is 12.5 ft/s
The depth of the lake is 76.2 ft
