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

and
t
is time after

Imagine that Earth stops orbiting the Sun but continues to rotate in place about its own axis at its current rate. In this case,
otez555 [7]

Answer:

The length of the solar day will get shorter.

Explanation:

  • The blue planet Earth not only rotates around it's own axis but also rotates around the Sun and everyday it moves a little bit around the axis.
  • Since the speed of the Earth's rotation on it's own axis and around the Sun is constant we don't feel the effects of the rotation.We can only feel the motion if the earth changes it's rotation speed.
  • If by any means or chance the Earth stopped spinning (stopped rotation) then the atmosphere surrounding the Earth would be in motion and all the Earth's land would be scoured clean.

If a ball is thrown into the air with a velocity of 36 ft/s, its height (in feet) after t seconds is given by y = 36t − 16t2. fi
Juliette [100K]
Height (y) = 36t - 16t^2, where t = time in seconds (s).
Our height (y) after 1s = 36(1) - 16(1)^2
y = 36 - 16 = 20 ft
So it reached a height of 20 ft during that 1 second, which means that at that 1 second it had a velocity of 20ft/s, since v = d(distance)/t = 20ft/1s

You want to lean your dad's ladder on a smooth wall. If the mass of ladder is 4.42 kg and coefficient
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

angle minimum   θ = 41.3º

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use Newton's second law in the condition of static equilibrium

    N - W = 0

    N = W

The rotational equilibrium condition, where we place the axis of rotation on the wall

We assume that counterclockwise rotations are positive

     fr (l sin θ) - N (l cos θ) + W (l/2 cos θ) = 0

     

the friction force formula is

     fr = μ N

     fr = μ W

we substitute

      μ m g l sin θ - m g l cos θ + mg l /2   cos θ = 0

      μ sin θ - cos θ + ½ cos θ= 0

         

       μ sin θ - ½ cos θ = 0

       sin θ / cos θ = 1/2 μ

       tan θ = 1/2 μ

       θ = tan⁻¹ (1 / 2μ)

       θ = tan⁻¹ (1 (2 0.57))

      θ = 41.3º

Eric has a mass of 70 . He is standing on a scale in an elevator that is accelerating downward at 1.7 . What is the approximate
pychu [463]

Answer:

B)

Explanation:

The value the scale shows is the reaction force to the normal force (they are equal by Newton's 3rd Law) that the scale exerts on Eric.

The forces on Eric are his weight (downward) and this normal force (upward), so we can write the net force over him as (also using Newton's 2nd Law):

F=W-N=ma

which means

N=W-ma=mg-ma=m(g-a)

and for our values this is:

N=mg-ma=(70kg)(9.8m/s^2-1.7m/s^2)=567N
