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

An object experiences an impulse, moves and attains a momentum of 200 kg·m/s. If its mass is 50 kg, what is its velocity?
Nady [450]

Answer:

4 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum is defined as:

p=mv

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its velocity

For the object in this problem, we know:

p = 200 kg m/s is the momentum

m = 50 kg is the mass

Solving for the velocity, we find:

v=\frac{p}{m}=\frac{200}{50}=4 m/s
