Why you cannot use an elastic measuring tape to measure distance. What problem you may face if you use it

Physics

Stells [14]3 years ago

The problem you would encounter is measuring the height of two different people, a tall one and a short one, and getting the same answer for both of them.

No matter WHAT we're hearing out of the White House these days, you CAN'T bend and stretch your standard measuring devices, or any other 'facts', to make them fit the thing that you're measuring.  This does not work.  You're always entitled to your own opinions, but you're not entitled to your own facts.

A falling object accelerates from -10.0 m/s to -30.0 m/s. how much time does it take?
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

2.04 s

Explanation:

v = at + v₀

(-30.0 m/s) = (-9.8 m/s²) t + (-10.0 m/s)

t = 2.04 s

Rony fills a bucket with water and whirls it in a vertical circle to demonstrate that the water will not spill from the bucket a
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

0 N, 3.49 m/s

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram for the bucket at the top of the swing.  There are two forces acting on the bucket: weight and tension, both downwards.

If we take the sum of the forces in the radial direction, where towards the center is positive:

∑F = ma

W + T = m v² / r

The higher the velocity that Rony swings the bucket, the more tension there will be.  The slowest he can swing it is when the tension is 0.

W = m v² / r

mg = m v² / r

g = v² / r

v = √(gr)

Given that r = 1.24 m:

v = √(9.8 m/s² × 1.24 m)

v = 3.49 m/s

A high-jumper clears the bar and has a downward velocity of - 5.00 m/s just before landing on an air mattress and bouncing up at
Jobisdone [24]

-- As she lands on the air mattress, her momentum is (m v)

Momentum = (60 kg) (5 m/s down) = 300 kg-m/s down

-- As she leaves it after the bounce,

Momentum = (60 kg) (1 m/s up) = 60 kg-m/s up

-- The impulse (change in momentum) is

Change = (60 kg-m/s up) - (300 kg-m/s down)

Magnitude of the change = <em>360 km-m/s </em>

The direction of the change is <em>up /\ </em>.
