Frequency,f=2.0Hz.
From the equation of a simple harmonic motion, the displacement of the object at a given time is define as
we can express the velocity by the derivative of the displacement,
Hence
at equilibrium, the velocity becomes
Hence if we substitute values we arrive at
Answer:
The BMX lands 5.4 m from the end of the ramp.
Explanation:
Hi there!
The position of the BMX is given by the position vector "r":
r = (x0 + v0 · t · cos α, y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²)
Where:
r = position vector at time t
x0 = initial horizontal position
v0 = initial velocity
α = jumping angle
y0 = initial vertical position
g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive)
Please, see the attached graphic for a better understanding of the situation. At final time, when the bicycle reaches the ground, the vector position will be "r final" (see figure). The y-component of the vector "r final" is - 2.4 m (placing the origin of the frame of reference at the jumping point). With that information, we can use the equation of the y-component of the vector "r" (see above) to calculate the time of flight. With that time, we can then obtain the x-component (rx in the figure) of the vector "r final". Then:
y = y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²
-2.4 m = 0 m + 5.9 m/s · t · sin 40° - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²
0 = -4.9 m/s² · t² + 5.9 m/s · t · sin 40° + 2.4 m
Solving the quadratic equation:
t = 1.2 s
Now, we can calculate the x-component of the vector "r final" that is the horizontal distance traveled by the bicycle:
x = x0 + v0 · t · cos α
x = 0 m + 5.9 m/s · 1.2 s · cos 40°
x = 5.4 m
The BMX lands 5.4 m from the end of the ramp.
Have a nice day!
