The normal force is the supporting force that is exerted on an object that is in contact with another stable object.
Answer: Option C
<u>Explanation:
</u>
Normal force is forward or upward pushing force acting on an object. Mostly the normal force acts as supporting force exerted on the object by the neighbouring stable object with which the object in question is in contact. So normal force falls under the category of contact forces.
Generally, normal force will be acting to support the weight of any object placed on another object. The best examples of normal forces are the weight of the book supported by table or by the pushing force of the wall on the person leaning on the wall.
Answer:
a. 8.96 m/s b. 1.81 m
Explanation:
Here is the complete question.
a) A long jumper leaves the ground at 45° above the horizontal and lands 8.2 m away.
What is her "takeoff" speed v
0
?
b) Now she is out on a hike and comes to the left bank of a river. There is no bridge and the right bank is 10.0 m away horizontally and 2.5 m, vertically below.
If she long jumps from the edge of the left bank at 45° with the speed calculated in part a), how long, or short, of the opposite bank will she land?
a. Since she lands 8.2 m away and leaves at an angle of 45 above the horizontal, this is a case of projectile motion. We calculate the takeoff speed v₀ from R = v₀²sin2θ/g. where R = range = 8.2 m.
So, v₀ = √gR/sin2θ = √9.8 × 8.2/sin(2×45) = √80.36/sin90 = √80.36 = 8.96 m/s.
b. We use R = v₀²sin2θ/g to calculate how long or short of the opposite bank she will land. With v₀ = 8.96 m/s and θ = 45
R = 8.96²sin(2 × 45)/9.8 = 80.2816/9.8 = 8.192 m.
So she land 8.192 m away from her bank. The distance away from the opposite bank she lands is 10 - 8.192 m = 1.808 m ≅ 1.81 m
Answer:
5.01 J
Explanation:
Info given:
mass (m) = 0.0780kg
height (h) = 5.36m
velocity (v) = 4.84 m/s
gravity (g) = 9.81m/s^2
1. First, solve for Kinetic energy (KE)
KE = 1/2mv^2
1/2(0.0780kg)(4.84m/s)^2 = 0.91 J
so KE = 0.91 J
2. Next, solve for Potential energy (PE)
PE = mgh
(0.0780kg)(9.81m/s^2)(5.36m) = 4.10 J
so PE = 4.10 J
3. Mechanical Energy , E = KE + PE
Plug in values for KE and PE
KE + PE = 0.91J + 4.10 J = 5.01 J
