A gazelle leaps from a cliff 2.5 m high with a speed of 5.6m/s.

trapecia [35]

Initial speed of Gazelle is along x direction and its value will be

$v_x = 5.6 m/s$

also its initial height is given as

$y = 2.5 m$

Part a)

now from kinematics along Y direction

$\Delta y = v_y t + \frac{1}{2} at^2$

as we know that

$\Delta y = 0$

$v_y = 0$

$a = 9.8 m/s^2$

$2.5 = 0 + \frac{1}{2} (9.8) t^2$

$t = 0.714 s$

Part b)

distance moved horizontally

$\Delta x = v_x t$

as we know that

$v_x = 5.6 m/s$

now we will have

$v_x = 5.6 (0.714) = 4m$

so it will lend at distance of 4 m.

Part c)

final velocity in vertical direction

$v_{fy} = v_y + at$

$v_{fy} = 0 + (9.8)(0.714) = 7 m/s$

$v_x = 5.6 m/s$

so net speed will be

$v^2 = v_x^2 + v_y^2$

$v^2 = 7^2 + 5.6^2$

$v = 8.96 m/s$

A cyclist is riding a bicycle at a speed of 22 mph on a horizontal road. The distance between the axles is 42 in., and the mass

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

The shortest distance is $S = 24.86 ft$

Explanation:

The free body diagram of this question is shown on the first uploaded image

From the question we are told that

The speed of the bicycle is $v_b = 22\ mph = 22 * \frac{5280}{3600} = 32.26 ft/s$

The distance between the axial is $d = 42 \ in$

The mass center of the cyclist and the bicycle is $m_c = 26 \ in$ behind the front axle

The mass center of the cyclist and the bicycle is $m_h = 40 \ in$ above the ground

For the bicycle not to be thrown over the

Momentum about the back wheel must be zero so

$\sum _B = 0$

=> $mg (26) = ma(40)$

=> $a = \frac{26}{40} g$

Here $g = 32.2 ft/s^2$

So $a = \frac{26}{40} (32.2)$

$a = 20.93 ft/s^2$

Apply the equation of motion to this motion we have

$v^2 = u^2 + 2as$

Where $u = 32.26 ft /s$

and $v = 0$ since the bicycle is coming to a stop

$v^2 = (32.26)^2 - 2(20.93) S$

=> $S = 24.86 ft$
