When chasing a hare along a flat stretch of ground, a greyhound leaps into the air at a speed of 10.1 m/s, at an angle of 16.9°

above the horizontal. (a) What is the range of his leap? (b) For how much time is he in the air?

Answer:

a) The range of the leap is 5.80 m.

b) The time that the greyhound is in the air is 0.600 s

Explanation:

The position of the greyhound is given by the position vector "r":

r =(x0 + v0 · t · cos α, y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²)

Where:

r = position vector at time "t".

x0 = initial horizontal position.

v0 = initial horizontal velocity.

y0 = initial vertical position

t = time.

α = leap angle.

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive).

a) At the end of the leap, the position vector will be "r final" (see figure). The vector r final could be written as:

r final = (x, 0 m)

Where "x" is the range.

Then, using the equation for the vertical position we can obtain the time of flight of the leap. With that time, we can calculate the range using the equation for the horizontal position.

Then:

y = y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²

0 m = 0 m + 10.1 m/s · t · sin 16.9° - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

0 m = t (10.1 m/s · sin 16.9° - 4.9  m/s² · t)

0 m = 10.1 m/s · sin 16.9° - 4.9  m/s² · t

- 10.1 m/s · sin 16.9° / - 4.9  m/s²  = t

t = 0.600 s

The x-component of the vector "r final" will be:

x = x0 + v0 · t · cos α

x = 0 m + 10.1 m/s · 0.600 s · cos 16.9°

x = 5.80 m

The range of the leap is 5.80 m.

b) The time that the greyhound is in the air is 0.600 s. It was calculated above using the equation for the y-component of the vector "r final".

A 50 kg skydiver is falling downwards and accelerating 6 m/s2 down. What is the net force on the skydiver?
Montano1993 [528]

Net Force = (mass) x (acceleration)  (Newton #2)

Net Force = (50 kg) x (6 m/s² down)

Net Force = (50 * 6) (kg-m/s² down)

<em>Net Force = 300 Newtons down</em>

A 15 kg bucket of water is suspended by a very light ropewrapped around a solid uniform cylinder 0.300 m in diamter withmass 12.
matrenka [14]

Answer:

Part a)

T = 42 N

Part b)

v_f = 11.8 m/s

Part c)

t = 1.7 s

Part d)

F = 159.7 N

Explanation:

Part a)

While bucket is falling downwards we have force equation of the bucket given as

mg - T = ma

for uniform cylinder we will have

TR = I\alpha

so we have

T = \frac{1}{2}MR^2(\frac{a}{R^2})

T = \frac{1}{2}Ma

now we have

mg = (\frac{M}{2} + m)a

a = \frac{mg}{(\frac{M}{2} + m)}

a = \frac{15 \times 9.81}{(6 + 15)}

a = 7 m/s^2

now we have

T = \frac{12 \times 7}{2}

T = 42 N

Part b)

speed of the bucket can be found using kinematics

so we have

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

v_f^2 - 0 = 2(7)(10)

v_f = 11.8 m/s

Part c)

now in order to find the time of fall we can use another equation

v_f - v_i = at

11.8 - 0 = 7 t

t = 1.7 s

Part d)

as we know that cylinder is at rest and not moving downwards

so here we can use force balance

F = T + Mg

F = 42 + (12 \times 9.81)

F = 159.7 N
