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".

The measure of a spring’s resistance to being compressed or stretched is the
larisa86 [58]

<u>Answer;</u>

<em>Spring constant </em>

<u>Explanation;</u>

The measure of a spring’s resistance to being compressed or stretched is the <u>spring constant</u>.

  • The symbol of spring constant is K, since it is a constant. From the Hooke's law,for a helical spring or any elastic material, the extension force is directly proportional to the extension provided the elastic limit is not exceeded.
  • Therefore; the spring constant = Force/extension. That is; K = F/e; where k is the spring constant, F is the extension force and e is the extension.
  • Spring constant depicts the resistance of the spring to compressional and stretching forces.

An 80.0-kg man jumps from a height of 2.50 m onto a platform mounted on springs. As the springs compress, he pushes the platform
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

6.16 m/s

0.0105 m

Explanation:

Let the ground 0 for potential reference be at where the spring is compress 0.24 m. The the man would jump from a height h = 2.5 + 0.24 = 2.74 m from it. We can apply the law of energy conservation knowing that as the man jumps, his potential energy converts to kinetic energy, then finally to elastic energy:

E_p = E_e

mgh = kx^2/2

where m = 80 kg is the man mass, g = 9.81 m/s2 is the gravitational acceleration, h = 2.74 m is the potential distance he travels, k N/m is the spring constant and x = 0.24 is the distance it compresses

80*9.81*2.74 = k0.24^2/2

2150.352 = 0.0288k

k = 74665 N/m

Similarly at the position where it compresses by 0.12 m, it's 0.24 - 0.12 = 0.12 m far from ground 0.

E_p = E_{e2} + E_k + E_{p2}

mgh = kx_2^2 + mv^2/2 + mgh_2

2150.352 = 74665*0.12^2/2 + 80v^2/2 + 80*9.81*0.12

2150.352 = 537.588 + 40v^2 + 94.176

40v^2 = 1518.588

v^2 = 37.9647

v = \sqrt{37.9647} = 6.16 m/s

When he steps gently, then his gravity force would equal to his spring force

mg = kx_3

x_3 = mg/k = 80*9.81/74665 = 0.0105m
