A skateboarder shoots off a ramp with a velocity of 7.3 m/s, directed at an angle of 60° above the horizontal. The end of the ra

mp is 1.5 m above the ground. Let the x axis be parallel to the ground, the +y direction be vertically upward, and take as the origin the point on the ground directly below the top of the ramp. (a) How high above the ground is the highest point that the skateboarder reaches? (b) When the skateboarder reaches the highest point, how far is this point horizontally from the end of the ramp?

Answer:

y maximum   3.54 m, value X  2.35 m

Explanation:

We have a projectile launch problem, let's calculate the maximum height of the projectile, where the vertical speed must be zero

                     

        Vyf² = Vyo² - 2g (Y-Yo)

Where Yo is the initial height of the ramp 1.5 m

        0 = Vyo² -2g (Y-Yo)

        Y-Yo = Voy² / 2g

       Y = Yo + Voy² / 2g

Let's calculate the velocity components using trigonometry

       Voy = vo without T

       Vox = Vo cost

       Voy = 7.3 sin 60

       Vox = 7.3 cos 60

       Voy = 6.32 m / s

       Vox = 3.65 m / s

Let's calculate the maximum height

         Y = 1.5 +6.32²/2 9.8

          Y = 3.54 m

This is the maximum height from the ground

b) They ask us for the position of this point horizontally, we can calculate it looking for the time it took for the skateboarder to reach the highest point

                             

          Vfy = Voy - gt

          0 = Voy - gt

           t = Voy / g

           t = 6.32 / 9.8

           t = 0.645 s

     

Since there is no acceleration on the x-axis, we have a uniform movement, we can calculate the distance for this time

          X = Vox t

          X = 3.65 0.645

          X= 2.35 m

Which statement is true about an object moving in a circular motion due to centripetal force, F, when the mass is doubled?
marshall27 [118]

Ans) A) Centripetal force will be doubled.

See centripetal force F = mv^2/r

That means centripetal force is directly proportional to the mass of the particle

So, if we double the mass, centripetal force will be increased by twofolds.

So, option A) is correct.

Now, looking at the other options,

B) says centripetal force is unaltered which is incorrect as centripetal force has been altered and increased twofold.

Option C) and D) reduces centripetal force which are also not possible here.

So, only Option A) is correct

When the acceleration of a mass on a spring is zero, the velocity is at a
Sergeu [11.5K]

1) Maximum

2) Maximum

Explanation:

The force acting on a mass on a spring is given by Hooke's law; in magnitude:

F=kx

where

F is the force

k is the spring constant

x is the displacement

Also we know from Newton's second law that we can write

F=ma

where

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

So we can write the equation as

ma=kx (1)

From this relationship, we see that the acceleration is directly proportional to the displacement.

On the other hand, we know that the total mechanical energy of the system mass-spring is constant, and it is given by

E=\frac{1}{2}kx^2+\frac{1}{2}mv^2=const. (2)

where the first term is the elastic potential energy while the second term is the kinetic energy, and where

v is the velocity of the mass

From eq. (2), it is clear that when displacement increases, velocity decreases, and vice-versa; however, from eq.(1) we also know that acceleration is proportional to the displacement.

Therefore this means that:

- When acceleration increases, velocity decreases

- When acceleration decreases, velocity increases

Therefore, the two answers here are:

- When the acceleration of a mass on a spring is zero, the velocity is at a  maximum

When the velocity of a mass on a spring is zero, the acceleration is at a  maximum

Use appropriate units and significant figures.  USE THE LAW OF COSINES AND LAW OF SINES.
N76 [4]

Answer:

The resultant velocity is 86.1 mi/h.    

Explanation:

The law of cosines is given by:

c^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2} - 2abcos(\theta)

Where:

c: is the resultant velocity =?

a: is the velocity of the plane = 75.0 mi/h

b: is the velocity of the wind = 15.0 mi/h  

θ: is the angle between "a" and "b"                          

The angle between "a" and "b" can be found as follows:

\theta = 180.0 - 46.0 = 134.0 ^{\circ}

Now, by using the law of cosines we have:

c^{2} = (75.0)^{2} + (15.0)^{2} - 2*75.0*15.0*cos(134.0) = 7413.0

c = 86.1 mi/h    

Therefore, the resultant velocity is 86.1 mi/h.    

The law of sines is:

\frac{a}{sin(\gamma)} = \frac{b}{sin(\alpha)} = \frac{c}{sin(\theta)}

Where:

γ: is the angle between "b" and "c"

α: is the angle between "a" and "c"

So, if we want to find "c" by using the law of sines, we need to know another angle besides θ (γ or α), and the statement does not give us.

I hope it helps you!
