Answer:

The person can jump 48 m on the Moon

Explanation:

The question parameters are;

The maximum long jump distance of a person on Earth, R_{max} = 3 m

The acceleration due to gravity on the Moon = 1 ÷ 16 of that on Earth

The distance the person can jump on the Moon is given as follows;

A person performing a jump across an horizontal distance on Earth (under gravitational force) follows the path of the motion of a projectile

The horizontal range, R_{max}, of a projectile motion is found by using the following formula

R_{max} = \dfrac{u^2}{g}

Where;

g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore, we have;

R_{max} = 3 \, m = \dfrac{u^2}{9.8 \, m/s^2 }

u² = 3 m × 9.8 m/s² = 29.4 m²/s²

Therefore, on the Moon, we have;

The acceleration due to gravity on the Moon, g_{Moon} = 1/16 × g

∴ g_{Moon} = 1/16 × g = 1/16 × 9.8 m/s² ≈ 0.6125 m/s²

R_{max \ Moon} = \dfrac{u^2}{g_{Moon}}   = \dfrac{29.4 \ m^2/s^2}{0.6125 \, m/s^2 } \approx 48 \, m

The maximum distance the person can jump on the Moon with the same velocity which was used on Earth is R_{max \ Moon} ≈ 48 m

Kamila [148]
The word to fill in the blank is "equal". Because the time taken to rotate (spin on its axis) is equal to the time of revolution (going around the earth), this means that both have the same rate of angular rotation. So for every bit that the moon goes around its orbit around earth, the moon itself rotates accordingly to present the exact same side to earth.

Which applied force will allow a 7.65 kg block of ice to begin sliding on a sheet of ice? The block of ice has a kinetic coeffic
Anni [7]

Answer:

force for start moving is 7.49 N

force for moving constant velocity 2.25 N

Explanation:

given data

mass = 7.65 kg

kinetic coefficient of friction = 0.030

static coefficient of friction = 0.10

solution

we get here first weight of block of ice that is

weight of block of ice = mass  ×  g

weight of block of ice = 7.65 × 9.8 = 74.97 N

so here Ff = Fa

so for force for start moving is

Fa = weight × static coefficient of friction  

Fa = 74.97 × 0.10

Fa =  7.49 N

and

force for moving constant velocity is

Fa =  weight × kinetic coefficient of friction

Fa = 74.97 × 0.030

Fa = 2.25 N

A catapult launches a test rocket vertically upward from a well, giving the rocket an initial speed of 80.0 m/s at ground level.
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

There is an interval of 24.28s in which the rocket is above the ground.

Explanation:

y_{i}=0m

v_i=80\frac{m}{s}

a=4\frac{m}{s^2}

y_{e}=1000m

g=9.8\frac{m}{s^2}

From Kinematics, the position y as a function of time when the engine still works will be:

y(t)=v_it+\frac{1}{2}at^2

At what time the altitud will be y_{e}=1000m?

v_it+\frac{1}{2}at^2=y_{e} ⇒ \frac{1}{2}at^2+v_it-y_{e}=0

Using the quadratic formula: t_1=10s.

How much time does it take for the rocket to touch the ground? No the function of position is:

y(t)=y_{e}+v_et-\frac{1}{2}gt^2

Where our new initial position is y_{max}, the velocity when the engine breaks is v_e=v_i+at=120\frac{m}{s} and the only acceleration comes from gravity (which points down).

Now, when the rocket tounches the ground:

y_{e}+v_et-\frac{1}{2}gt^2=0

Again, using the quadratic ecuation:

t_2=24.49s

Now, the total time from the moment it takes off and the moment it tounches the ground will be:

t_T=t_1+t_2=34.49s.
