Dean Potter is known for slacklinging across a 915 metter deep ravine in Yosemite National Park with no safety gear. If his mass

is 77 kg, how much potential energy did he have?

Explanation:

answer 689910

M x G x H

mass = 77

G= 9.8

Meter = 915 this is the height

77 x 9.8= 754.6

754.6 X 915 = 689910 J

The terminal velocity of a person falling in air depends upon the weight and the area of the person facing the fluid. Find the t

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

v=115 m/s

or

v=414 km/h

Explanation:

Given data

$A_{area}=0.140m^{2}\\ p_{air}=1.21 kg/m^{3}\\ m_{mass}=80kg$

To find

Terminal velocity (in meters per second and kilometers per hour)

Solution

At terminal speed the weight equal the drag force

$mg=1/2*C*p_{air}*v^{2}*A_{area}\\ v=\sqrt{\frac{2*m*g}{C**p_{air}*A_{area}} }\\ Where C=0.7\\v=\sqrt{\frac{2*9.8*80}{1.21*0.14*0.7} }\\ v=115m/s$

For speed in km/h(kilometers per hour)

To convert m/s to km/h you need to multiply the speed value by 3.6

$v=(115*3.6)km/h\\v=414km/h$

What will be the final velocity of a rock if we drop it off of a bridge and it strikes the ground 2.8s later (ignoring air resis

mars1129 [50]

Formula for final velocity: Vf= vi+(a*t)
Vi- initial velocity, a=acceleration, t-time

Vf=vi+(at)
Vf= 0+(9.8m/s*2.8s)
Vf= 27.44 m/s

The acceleration of the Earth when dropping something would be 9.8 m/s

Here is an reference that can help you answer problems like these.
Hope this helps and good luck :)

A baseball player friend of yours wants to determine his pitching speed. You have him stand on a ledge and throw the ball horizo

Alla [95]

Answer:

$v_{ox}= 19.6\ m/s$

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Height above the ground, H= 5.0m

Range of the ball, R= 20 m

Initial horizontal velocity = $v_{ox}$

Initial vertical velocity= $v_{oy}$ (Since ball was thrown horizontally only)

Acceleration acting horizontally, $a_x$ = 0 m/s² [ Since no acceleration acts horizontally) ]

Vertical Acceleration, $a_y$ = 9.8 m/s² (Since only gravity acts on it)

Let 't' be the time taken to reach ground

Therefore, using equations of motion, we have

$H= v_{oy}t+\frac{1}{2}a_yt^2$

$5= (0)t+\frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2$

$t= \frac{10}{9.8}=1.02 s$

Then using Equations of motion for horizontal motion,

$R= v_{ox}t+\frac{1}{2}a_xt^2$

$20= v_{ox}(1.02)+\frac{1}{2}(0)(1.02)^2$

$v_{ox}= 19.6\ m/s$
