Cliff divers at Acapulco jump into the sea from a cliff 36 meters high. At the level of the sea, there is an outcropping of rock

that sticks out a horizontal distance of 6 meters. With what minimum horizontal velocity must the cliff divers leave the top of the cliff if they are to miss this rocky outcropping?

Answer:

<em>The cliff drivers must leave the top of the cliff at 2.21 m/s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Horizontal Motion</u>

When an object is thrown horizontally with a speed v from a height h, it describes a curved path ruled exclusively by gravity until it eventually hits the ground.

The range or maximum horizontal distance traveled by the object can be calculated as follows:

\displaystyle d=v\cdot\sqrt{\frac  {2h}{g}}

If the range is known and we are required to find the initial speed of launch, then we can solve the above equation for v as follows:

\displaystyle v=d\cdot\sqrt{\frac  {g}{2h}}

Cliff drivers jump into the sea from a height of h=36 m and must pass over an obstacle d=6 meters away from the cliff.

Let's calculate the speed needed:

\displaystyle v=6~m\cdot\sqrt{\frac  {9.8~m/s^2}{2\cdot 36~m}}

\displaystyle v=6~m\cdot\sqrt{\frac  {9.8~m/s^2}{72~m}}

v=2.21~m/s

The cliff drivers must leave the top of the cliff at 2.21 m/s

Two objects having masses m1 and m2 are connected to each other as shown in the figure and are released from rest. There is no f
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:m_1g

Explanation:

Given

Two masses m_1  and m_2  is released and there is tension T in the string

Suppose a is the acceleration of the system

Therefore from Diagram

For m_1

T-m_1g=m_1a

T=m_1(g+a)------1

for m_2 body

m_2g-T=m_2a

T=m_2(g-a)-------2

From above two Equation it is said that Tension is greater than m_1g and less than m_2g

m_1g
