Answer:

4.80 m

Explanation:

We are given the mass of the high jumper, its initial velocity, and the acceleration of gravity. We are trying to find the vertical displacement of the high jumper.

Let's set the upwards direction to be positive and the downwards direction to be negative.

List out the relevant known variables.

  1. v₀ = 9.7 m/s
  2. a = -9.8 m/s²
  3. Δx = ?

We still need one more variable in order to use the constant acceleration equations. Since we are trying to find the max height of the jumper, we can use the fact that at the top of its trajectory, its final velocity will be 0 m/s.

    4. v = 0 m/s

Using these four variables, let's find the constant acceleration equation that contains these variables:

  • v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

Substitute the known values into the equation and solve for Δx.

  • (0)² = (9.7)² + 2(-9.8)Δx
  • 0 = 94.09 + (-19.6)Δx
  • -94.09 = -19.6Δx
  • Δx = 4.80

The high jumper can jump to a max height of 4.80 m.

A bungee jumper has a mass of 60kg and uses a 25m long bungee cord (unstretched length) with an elastic coefficient of 800N/m. a
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

a ) 2.68 m / s

b )  1.47 m

Explanation:

The jumper will go down with acceleration as long as net force on it becomes zero . Net force of (mg - kx ) will act on it  where kx is the restoring force acting in upward direction.

At the time of equilibrium

mg - kx = 0

x = mg / k

= (60 x 9.8 ) / 800

= 0.735 m

At this moment , let its velocity be equal to V

Applying conservation of energy

kinetic energy of jumper + elastic energy of cord = loss of potential energy of the jumper

1/2 m V² + 1/2 k x² = mg x

.5 x 60 x V² + .5 x 800 x .735 x .735 = 60 x 9.8 x .735

30 V² + 216.09 = 432.18

V = 2.68 m / s

b ) At lowest point , kinetic energy is zero and loss of potential energy will be equal to stored elastic energy.

1/2 k x² = mgx

x = 2 m g / k

= (2 x 60 x 9.8) / 800

= 1.47 m

What type of wave has more energy, an ultraviolet wave or an x-ray?
muminat
As the wave length increases the energy of the wave decreases as the equation that relates the c=λυ λ is the wave length and υ is the frequency (which is directly proportional to the energy).
In the wave length spectrum, x-ray has a shorter wave length, meaning that x-ray has a higher energy than ultraviolet waves.

Hope this helps.

Answer:

ionized particles from the sun.

* interactions in radiation belts.

* the friction of the planet in the solar wind

q = +9 10⁵ C

Explanation:

Due to being made up of matter, the planet Earth has a series of positive and negative charges, in general these charges should be balanced and the net charge of the planet should be zero, but there are several phenomena that introduce unbalanced charges, for example:

* ionized particles from the sun.

* interactions in radiation belts.

* the friction of the planet in the solar wind

This creates that the planet has a net electrical load

         

We can roughly calculate the charge of the planet

             E = k q / r²

             q = E r² / k

let's calculate

             q = 200 (6.37 10⁶)²/9 10⁹

              q = +9 10⁵ C

What is the value of sin r and sin i in physics​
taurus [48]

Answer:

★The second law of refraction

The ratio of sine of angle of incidence to the sine of angle of refraction is a constant for a light of given colour and for a given pair of media. This law is also called Snell's law of refraction. If 'i' is the angle of incidence and 'r' is the angle of refraction then, Sin i/Sin r = constant

This constant value is called the refractive index of the second medium with respect to the first.

ASHA 777 [7]

The properties that change how we perceive light waves are the following:

The amplitude of the light wave changes the brightness of light relative to other light waves of the same wavelenghth.

The frequency of the light wave changes the color and the type of the light wave.
