Answer:
a. 8.96 m/s b. 1.81 m
Explanation:
Here is the complete question.
a) A long jumper leaves the ground at 45° above the horizontal and lands 8.2 m away.
What is her "takeoff" speed v
0
?
b) Now she is out on a hike and comes to the left bank of a river. There is no bridge and the right bank is 10.0 m away horizontally and 2.5 m, vertically below.
If she long jumps from the edge of the left bank at 45° with the speed calculated in part a), how long, or short, of the opposite bank will she land?
a. Since she lands 8.2 m away and leaves at an angle of 45 above the horizontal, this is a case of projectile motion. We calculate the takeoff speed v₀ from R = v₀²sin2θ/g. where R = range = 8.2 m.
So, v₀ = √gR/sin2θ = √9.8 × 8.2/sin(2×45) = √80.36/sin90 = √80.36 = 8.96 m/s.
b. We use R = v₀²sin2θ/g to calculate how long or short of the opposite bank she will land. With v₀ = 8.96 m/s and θ = 45
R = 8.96²sin(2 × 45)/9.8 = 80.2816/9.8 = 8.192 m.
So she land 8.192 m away from her bank. The distance away from the opposite bank she lands is 10 - 8.192 m = 1.808 m ≅ 1.81 m
So the initial velocity is 15 m/s, the final velocity is 0 since it's at a complete stop and time is 10 seconds. Therefore:
Therefore, the acceleration is -1.5 m/s^2. The reason it's negative is due to the fact that the vector is going against it's original movement since it's decelerating.
Answer:
Friction, normal force, and weight
Explanation:
If the book slows down, it means that there must be friction acting in the opposite direction of the direction the book is moving in.
Weight is caused by the gravitational pull of the Earth on the book, and normal force is the table pushing the book up because the book is pushing down on the table (3rd law.)
Note that weight and normal force is not the 3rd law action-reaction pair. The pair is the force of the book on the table and the force of the table on the book.
Answer:
A. Materials with a low index of refraction cause light to refract very little.
