Of the cliff?

Projectile motion
In the problem we are asked to find a height of certain cliff when a motorcycle stunt driver zoom out horizontally at the end the cliff at an initial velocity. So we will use one of the kinematics equation for projectile motion,

y
=
v
o
y
t
+
1
2
g
t

where
v
o
y
is just equal to zero since we can assume that the driver zooms out horizontally,
g
=
9.8

m

s

and
t
is time after

9966 [12]

Answer:

C. 2 mph

Explanation:

speed equals total distance covered in total time of of travel

since,

total distance = 4 miles

time taken = 2 hrs

speed = 4m / 2hrs =2mph

a baseball player is dashing toward home plate with a speed of 200 feet per hour. When he decides to hit the dirt. he slides for
Serggg [28]

To solve this problem we will use the kinematic formula for the final velocity.


V_f_x = V_0_x + a_xt


The final speed is 0 at the moment the player stops.


The time until it stops is 1.3 s


The initial speed is 200 feet / s  Note (check the speed units in the problem statement, 200ft / s is very much and 200ft / h is very small)

Then, we clear the formula.


a_x = \frac{(Vfx-V0x)}{t}\\ a_x = \frac{(0-200)}{1.3}\\ a_x = -153.5 ft / s ^ 2

Because the player is slowing down, the acceleration goes in the opposite direction to the player's movement, and that is why it is negative.



To answer part b) we use the following formula.


Vf ^ 2 = Vo ^ 2 + 2a * (x_2 - x_1)\\\\ (x_2 - x_1)= \frac{(V_f ^ 2-V_0 ^ 2)}{2a}\\\\ (x_2 - x_1)= \frac{(0-200 ^ 2)}{- 2 * 153.5}\\\\ (x_2 - x_1)= 130.29 feet

A missile is fired from a jet flying horizontally at Mach 1 (1100 ft/s). The missile has a horizontal acceleration of 1000 ft/s2
nadezda [96]
Answer: 11,100 ft/s^2

1) Constant acceleration=> uniformly accelerated motion.

2)  Formula for uniformly accelerated motion:

Vf = Vo + at

3) Data:

Vo = 1,100 ft/s
a = 1,000 ft/s^2
t = 10.0 s

4) Solution:

Vf = 1,100 ft/s + 1,000 ft/s^2 * 10.0 s = 1,100 ft/s + 10,000 ft/s

Vf = 11,100 ft/s

The position-time equation for a cheetah chasing an antelope is:
pochemuha

Answer:

x = 1.6 + 1.7 t^2      omitting signs

a) at t = 0     x = 1.6 m

b) V = d x / d t = 3.4 t

at t = 0     V = 0

c) A = d^2 x / d t^2 = 3.4     (at t = 0  A = 3.4 m/s^2)

d)  x = 1.6 + 1.7 * (4.4)^2 = 34.5    (position at 4.4 sec = 34.5 m)

Consider this situation: A baseball player dives head-first
siniylev [52]
Of the forces listed I think the force of him diving and sliding across the infield acted on the player.

I think so because the slowing down was a result of an action, and I don’t think that should count as An action when it is the result of an action. However, the act of diving head-first into second base and sliding across the infield are independent actions and will cause friction, which will act upon the player.
