A kid on a playground swing makes a complete to-and-fro swing each 2 seconds.

Physics
1 answer:
sashaice [31]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The frequency of the swing: 1/2 Hertz

The period is: 2 Seconds

Explanation:

The time the kid takes to make a complete to-and-fro swing = 2 seconds

The period, T, is the time it takes to make one complete cycle of an oscillatory motion, therefore, we have;

The frequency, f, is the number of cycles completed each second, therefore, we have;

The time for 1 cycle = 2 seconds

2 seconds = 1 cycle

Dividing both sides by 2 gives;

2/2 seconds = 1/2 cycles

2/2 = 1

In 2/2 = 1 seconds The number of cycles completed = 1/2 cycles

Therefore, the number of cycles completed per (one) second = 1/2 cycles

Therefore the frequency of the swing, f = 1/2 cycle/seconds = 1/2 Hertz

The period, T, is the time it takes to complete one to-and-fro swing which is one cycle which is 2 seconds

Therefore, the period is 2 Seconds.

A high jumper jumps over a bar that is 2 m above the mat. With what velocity does the jumper strike the mat in the landing area?
docker41 [41]

Answer:

The velocity with which the jumper strike the mat in the landing area is 6.26 m/s.

Explanation:

It is given that,

A high jumper jumps over a bar that is 2 m above the mat, h = 2 m

We need to find the velocity with which the jumper strike the mat in the landing area. It is a case of conservation of energy. let v is the velocity. it is given by :

v=\sqrt{2gh}

g is acceleration due to gravity

v=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\ m/s^2\times 2\ m}

v = 6.26 m/s

So, the velocity with which the jumper strike the mat in the landing area is 6.26 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

vredina [299]

Answer:

a = v^2/r      centripetal acceleration

v = (a * r)^1/2 = (42 * .23)^1/2 = 3.1 m/s

What is the final speed?
EastWind [94]
U=6.9ms-¹
a=0.62ms-²
t=3.4s

using
v=u+at
v=6.9+(0.62×3.4)
v= 6.9+2.108
v=9.008ms-¹
