In a flying ski jump, the skier acquires a speed of 110 km/h by racing down a steep hill and then lifts off into the air from a

horizontal ramp. Beyond this ramp, the ground slopes downward at an angle of 45◦. (a) Assuming that the skier is in a free-fall motion after he leaves the ramp, at what distance down the slope will he land? What is his displacement vector from the point of ‘lift off’?

Answer:

Approximately \displaystyle\rm \left[ \begin{array}{c}\rm191\; m\\\rm-191\; m\end{array}\right].

Explanation:

Consider this 45^{\circ} slope and the trajectory of the skier in a cartesian plane. Since the problem is asking for the displacement vector relative to the point of "lift off", let that particular point be the origin (0, 0).

Assume that the skier is running in the positive x-direction. The line that represents the slope shall point downwards at 45^{\circ} to the x-axis. Since this slope is connected to the ramp, it should also go through the origin. Based on these conditions, this line should be represented as y = -x.

Convert the initial speed of this diver to SI units:

\displaystyle v = \rm 110\; km\cdot h^{-1} = 110 \times \frac{1}{3.6} = 30.556\; m\cdot s^{-1}.

The question assumes that the skier is in a free-fall motion. In other words, the skier travels with a constant horizontal velocity and accelerates downwards at g (g \approx \rm -9.81\; m\cdot s^{-2} near the surface of the earth.) At t seconds after the skier goes beyond the edge of the ramp, the position of the skier will be:

  • x-coordinate: 30.556t meters (constant velocity;)
  • y-coordinate: \displaystyle -\frac{1}{2}g\cdot t^{2} = -\frac{9.81}{2}\cdot t^{2} meters (constant acceleration with an initial vertical velocity of zero.)

To eliminate t from this expression, solve the equation between t and x for t. That is: express t as a function of x.

x = 30.556\;t\implies \displaystyle t = \frac{x}{30.556}.

Replace the t in the equation of y with this expression:

\begin{aligned} y = &-\frac{9.81}{2}\cdot t^{2}\\ &= -\frac{9.81}{2} \cdot \left(\frac{x}{30.556}\right)^{2}\\&= -0.0052535\;x^{2}\end{aligned}.

Plot the two functions:

  • y = -x,
  • \displaystyle y= -0.0052535\;x^{2},

and look for their intersection. Refer to the diagram attached.

Alternatively, equate the two expressions of y (right-hand side of the equation, the part where y is expressed as a function of x.)

-0.0052535\;x^{2} = -x,

\implies x = 190.35.

The value of y can be found by evaluating either equation at this particular x-value: x = 190.35.

y = -190.35.

The position vector of a point (x, y) on a cartesian plane is \displaystyle \left[\begin{array}{l}x \\ y\end{array}\right]. The coordinates of this skier is approximately (190.35, -190.35). The position vector of this skier will be \displaystyle\rm \left[ \begin{array}{c}\rm191\\\rm-191\end{array}\right]. Keep in mind that both numbers in this vectors are in meters.

Answer:

If Kepler’s laws define the motion of the planets, Newton’s laws define motion. Thinking on Kepler’s laws, Newton realized that all motion, whether it was the orbit of the Moon around the Earth or an apple falling from a tree, followed the same basic principles. “To the same natural effects,” he wrote, “we must, as far as possible, assign the same causes.” Previous Aristotelian thinking, physicist Stephen Hawking has written, assigned different causes to different types of motion. By unifying all motion, Newton shifted the scientific perspective to a search for large, unifying patterns in nature. Newton outlined his laws in Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica (“Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy,”) published in 1687.

Law I. Every body perseveres in its state of rest, or of uniform motion in a right line, unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed theron.

In essence, a moving object won’t change speed or direction, nor will a still object start moving, unless some outside force acts on it. The law is regularly summed up in one word: inertia.

Law II. The alteration of motion is ever proportional to the motive force impressed; and is made in the direction of the right line in which that force is impressed.

Newton’s second law is most recognizable in its mathematical form, the iconic equation: F=ma. The strength of the force (F) is defined by how much it changes the motion (acceleration, a) of an object with some mass (m).

Law III. To every action there is always opposed an equal reaction: or the mutual actions of two bodies upon each other are always equal, and directed to contrary parts.

As Newton himself described: “If you press a stone with your finger, the finger is also pressed by the stone.”

Suppose the U.S. national debt is about $14 trillion. If payments were made at the rate of $3,500 per second, how many years wou
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

It will take 126.84 years to pay off the debt

Explanation:

Total debt = $14,000,000,000,000.00

Paid $3,500 per second

Number of seconds to pay off the debt will be:

14 ×10^12 /3500

Number of seconds = 4× 10^9 seconds

Converting seconds to year:

I second = 3.171 ×10^-8 calendar year

Therefore, number of years it will take to pay off $14 Trillion =( 4 ×10^9 ) × ( 3.171 × 10^-8)

Number of years = 126.84 years
