What happens to gravity when someone jumps up?

Physics
1 answer:
Alla [95]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The direct answer to the question as written is as follows: nothing happens to gravity when someone jumps up - gravity continues exerting a force on the body of that particular someone proportional to (mass of someone) x (mass of Earth) / (distance squared). What you might be asking, however, is what is the net force acting on the body of someone jumping up. At the moment of  someone jumping up there is an upward acceleration, i.e., an upward-directed force which counteracts the gravitational force - this is the net force ( a result of the jump force minus gravity). From that moment on, only gravity acts on the body. The someone moves upward gradually decelerating to the downward gravitational acceleration until they reaches the peak of the jump (zero velocity). Then, back to Earth.

A particle with a mass of 6.64 × 10–27 kg and a charge of +3.20 × 10–19 C is accelerated from rest through a potential differenc
blondinia [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass m = 6.64×10^-27kg

Charge q = 3.2×10^-19C

Potential difference V =2.45×10^6V

Magnetic field B =1.6T

The force in a magnetic field is given as Force = q•(V×B)

Since V and B are perpendicular i.e 90°

Force =q•V•BSin90

F=q•V•B

So we need to find the velocity

Then, K•E is equal to work done by charge I.e K•E=U

K•E =½mV²

K•E =½ ×6.64×10^-27 V²

K•E = 3.32×10^-27 V²

U = q•V

U = 3.2×10^-19 × 2.45×10^6

U =7.84×10^-13

Then, K•E = U

3.32×10^-27V² = 7.84×10^-13

V² = 7.84×10^-13 / 3.32×10^-27

V² = 2.36×10^14

V=√2.36×10^14

V = 1.537×10^7 m/s

So, applying this to force in magnetic field

F=q•V•B

F= 3.2×10^-19 × 1.537×10^7 ×1.6

F = 7.87×10^-12 N

A shot is fired at an angle of 60 degree horizontal with Kinetic energy E. If air resistance is ignored, the K.E at the top of t
Lapatulllka [165]
I'm not sure what "60 degree horizontal" means.

I'm going to assume that it means a direction aimed 60 degrees
above the horizon and 30 degrees below the zenith. 

Now, I'll answer the question that I have invented.

When the shot is fired with speed of 'S' in that direction,
the horizontal component of its velocity is    S cos(60)  =  0.5 S ,
and the vertical component is   S sin(60) = S√3/2  =  0.866 S .  (rounded)

-- 0.75 of its kinetic energy is due to its vertical velocity.
That much of its KE gets used up by climbing against gravity.

-- 0.25 of its kinetic energy is due to its horizontal velocity.
That doesn't change. 

-- So at the top of its trajectory, its KE is 0.25 of what it had originally. 

That's  E/4 .

A basketball player shoots toward a basket 5.3 m away and 3.0 m above the floor. If the ball is released 1.9 m above the floor a
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Vi = 8.28 m/s

Explanation:

This problem is related to the projectile motion.

As we know there are two components of motion associated with this, the horizontal component and vertical component.

The horizontal distance covered by the ball is

Vx*t = x

Vx*t = 5.3

Vx = 5.3/t  eq. 1

Also we know that

Vx = Vicos(60)

Vx = Vi*0.5  eq. 2

equate eq. 1 and eq. 2

5.3/t = Vi*0.5

5.3/0.5 = Vi*t

Vi*t = 10.6  eq. 3

The vertical distance is

Vy = y1 + Vyi*t - 0.5gt²

also we know that

Vyi = Visin(60)

Vyi = Vi*0.866

It is given that V1 = 1.9 m and and Vy = 3 m is the vertical distance

3 = 1.9 + Vi*0.866*t - 0.5gt²

3 = 1.9 + Vi*0.866*t - 0.5(9.8)t²

3 = 1.9 + 0.866(Vi*t) - 0.5(9.8)t²

3 = 1.9 + 0.866(Vi*t) - 0.5(9.8)t²

1.1 = 0.866(Vi*t) - 4.9t²

0.866(Vi*t) = 4.9t² + 1.1

substitute Vi*t = 10.6 in above equation

0.866(10.6) = 4.9t² + 1.1

9.18 = 4.9t² + 1.1

4.9t² = 8.08

t² = 8.08/4.9

t² = 1.648

t = 1.28 sec

Finally, initial speed can be found by substituting the value of t into eq. 3

Vi*t = 10.6

Vi = 10.6/t

Vi = 10.6/1.28

Vi = 8.28 m/s
