Daring Darless wishes to cross the Grand Canyon of the Snake River by being shot from a cannon. She wishes to be launched at 65

∘ relative to the horizontal so she can spend more time in the air waving to the crowd.
With what minimum speed must she be launched to cross the 520-m gap?

Answer:

To successfully navigate the 520 m gap, she needs to be launched at a minimum speed of 57.67 m/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The projectile's launch angle is, \theta =65°

The range covered by the projectile is, R=520 m.

Gravity's acceleration is, g=9.8\ m/s^2

To determine the minimum speed necessary for crossing the gap, we use the formula related to the range of the projectile.

The projectile's range is calculated as:

R=\frac{v_{0}^2\sin2\theta}{g}

By substituting the provided values, we can find the minimum speed, v_0.

520=\frac{v_{0}^2\sin(2(65))}{9.8}\\520\times 9.8=v_{0}^2\sin(130)\\5096=1.532v_{0}^2\\v_0^2=\frac{5096}{1.532}\\v_0^2=3326.371\\v_0=\sqrt{3326.371}=57.67\textrm{ m/s}

Thus, in order to clear the 520 m gap, she must be launched at a minimum speed of 57.67 m/s.

A trained sea lion slides from rest down a long
Keith_Richards [3271]

Answer:

1.5 m/s²

Explanation:

Begin by sketching a free body diagram.  Three forces are at play on the sea lion: the force of gravity acting downwards, the normal force that is perpendicular to the ramp, and the frictional force parallel to the ramp.

Considering the forces perpendicular to the incline:

∑F = ma

N − mg cos θ = 0

This gives us N = mg cos θ

Next, examining the forces parallel to the incline:

∑F = ma

mg sin θ − Nμ = ma

Substituting for N yields:

mg sin θ − (mg cos θ) μ = ma

g sin θ − g cos θ μ = a

hence a = g (sin θ − μ cos θ)

If we set θ = 23° and μ = 0.26:

a = 9.8 (sin 23 − 0.26 cos 23)

this results in a = 1.48

When rounded to two significant figures, the acceleration of the sea lion is 1.5 m/s².

Definamos h como la distancia que hay desde el borde del pozo hasta la superficie del agua (en metros).

Consideremos la gravedad g como 9.8 m/s² y despreciemos la resistencia del aire.

La velocidad inicial vertical del guijarro es nula.
Ya que el guijarro impacta el agua tras 1.5 segundos, entonces:
h = 0.5 * (9.8 m/s²) * (1.5 s)² = 11.025 m

Resultado: 11.025 m
