Answer:

When the elctromagnet is ON, it picks up the iron pieces from the other scrap (copper, brass, bronze, aluminium, rubber, plastic, glass etc. that is non-magnetic. Then the crane moves to the designated spot where the iron is to be dumped. Then the electromagnet is OFF and the pieces drop - that is the beauty of soft magnetic materials like iron and electromagnetism. When the current is switched off the magnetism disappears and gravity takes over….

If we used a permanent magnet, the iron pieces would be picked up, but they would be stuck to the powerful magnet and removing them would be a tough task.

In a flying ski jump, the skier acquires a speed of 110 km/h by racing down a steep hill and then lifts off into the air from a

matrenka [14]

Answer:

Approximately $\displaystyle\rm \left[ \begin{array}{c}\rm191\; m\\\rm-191\; m\end{array}\right]$ .

Explanation:

Consider this $45^{\circ}$ slope and the trajectory of the skier in a cartesian plane. Since the problem is asking for the displacement vector relative to the point of "lift off", let that particular point be the origin $(0, 0)$ .

Assume that the skier is running in the positive x-direction. The line that represents the slope shall point downwards at $45^{\circ}$ to the x-axis. Since this slope is connected to the ramp, it should also go through the origin. Based on these conditions, this line should be represented as $y = -x$ .

Convert the initial speed of this diver to SI units:

$\displaystyle v = \rm 110\; km\cdot h^{-1} = 110 \times \frac{1}{3.6} = 30.556\; m\cdot s^{-1}$ .

The question assumes that the skier is in a free-fall motion. In other words, the skier travels with a constant horizontal velocity and accelerates downwards at $g$ ( $g \approx \rm -9.81\; m\cdot s^{-2}$ near the surface of the earth.) At $t$ seconds after the skier goes beyond the edge of the ramp, the position of the skier will be:

$x$ -coordinate: $30.556t$ meters (constant velocity;)
$y$ -coordinate: $\displaystyle -\frac{1}{2}g\cdot t^{2} = -\frac{9.81}{2}\cdot t^{2}$ meters (constant acceleration with an initial vertical velocity of zero.)

To eliminate $t$ from this expression, solve the equation between $t$ and $x$ for $t$ . That is: express $t$ as a function of $x$ .

$x = 30.556\;t\implies \displaystyle t = \frac{x}{30.556}$ .

Replace the $t$ in the equation of $y$ with this expression:

$\begin{aligned} y = &-\frac{9.81}{2}\cdot t^{2}\\ &= -\frac{9.81}{2} \cdot \left(\frac{x}{30.556}\right)^{2}\\&= -0.0052535\;x^{2}\end{aligned}$ .

Plot the two functions:

$y = -x$ ,
$\displaystyle y= -0.0052535\;x^{2}$ ,

and look for their intersection. Refer to the diagram attached.

Alternatively, equate the two expressions of $y$ (right-hand side of the equation, the part where $y$ is expressed as a function of $x$ .)

$-0.0052535\;x^{2} = -x$ ,

$\implies x = 190.35$ .

The value of $y$ can be found by evaluating either equation at this particular $x$ -value: $x = 190.35$ .

$y = -190.35$ .

The position vector of a point $(x, y)$ on a cartesian plane is $\displaystyle \left[\begin{array}{l}x \\ y\end{array}\right]$ . The coordinates of this skier is approximately $(190.35, -190.35)$ . The position vector of this skier will be $\displaystyle\rm \left[ \begin{array}{c}\rm191\\\rm-191\end{array}\right]$ . Keep in mind that both numbers in this vectors are in meters.

ladessa [460]

Answer:

a = 3 m/s²

Explanation:

a = Δv/t

a = (vf - vi)/t

a = (9 - 0)/3

A kangaroo jumps straight up to a vertical height of 1.66 m. How long was it in the air before returning to Earth? Express your

Nataly [62]

Answer:

The kangaroo was 1.164s in the air before returning to Earth

Explanation:

For this we are going to use the equation of distance for an uniformly accelerated movement, that is:

$x = x_{0} + V_{0}t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

Where:

x = Final distance

xo = Initial point

Vo = Initial velocity

a = Acceleration

t = time

We have the following values:

x = 1.66m

xo = 0m (the kangaroo starts from the floor)

Vo = 0 m/s (each jump starts from the floor and from a resting position)

a = 9.8 m/s^2 (the acceleration is the one generated by the gravity of earth)

t =This is just the time it takes to the kangaoo reach the 1.66m, we don't know the value.

Now replace the values in the equation

$x = x_{0} + V_{0}t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

$1.66 = 0 + 0t + \frac{1}{2}9.8t^2$

$1.66 = 4.9t^2$

$\frac{1.66}{4.9} = t^2$

$\sqrt{0.339} = t\\ t = 0.582s$

It takes to the kangaroo 0.582s to go up and the same time to go down then the total time it is in the air before returning to earth is

t = 0.582s + 0.582s

t = 1.164s

The kangaroo was 1.164s in the air before returning to Earth

Terry dropped a pebble from the top of his apartment building. The pebble impacted the ground after falling for 2.2 seconds. Cal

Contact [7]

The final velocity of the pebble as it hits the ground is 21.5 m/s.

We have to use the equation;

v = u + gt

Where;

v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

g = acceleration due to gravity

t = time

Since the pebble was dropped from a height, u =0 m/s, hence,

v = gt

v = 9.8 ms-2 × 2.2 s

v = 21.5 m/s
