Refer to the diagram below.

Ignoring air resistance, use gravitational acceleration g = 9.8 m/s².

The pole vaulter drops with an initial vertical speed u = 0.
At impact with the pad, velocity v satisfies:
v² = 2 × (9.8 m/s²) × (4.2 m) = 82.32 (m/s)²
v = 9.037 m/s

As the pad compresses by 0.5 m to bring the vaulter to rest,
let the average acceleration (deceleration) be a m/s². Then:
0 = (9.037 m/s)² + 2 × a × 0.5 m
Solving for a gives:
a = - 82.32 / (2 × 0.5) = -82 m/s²

Thus, the deceleration magnitude is 82 m/s².

The magnitude of the pole-vaulter's acceleration on the pad is 66.64 m/s².

Explanation

Acceleration represents how quickly velocity changes.

\large {\boxed {a = \frac{v - u}{t} } }

\large {\boxed {d = \frac{v + u}{2}~t } }

a = acceleration (m/s²)

v = final speed (m/s)

u = initial speed (m/s)

t = time interval (s)

d = displacement (m)

Let's solve the problem step by step!

Given:

Height above pad: H = 4.2 m - 0.8 m = 3.4 m

Pad compression distance: d = 0.5 m

Find:

Acceleration, a

Solution:

First, calculate velocity just before hitting the pad.

v^2 = u^2 + 2gH

v^2 = 0^2 + 2 \times 9.8 \times 3.4

v^2 = 1666/25

v = \frac{7 \sqrt{34}}{5} ~ m/s

Next, find the magnitude of acceleration decelerating the vaulter within the compressed pad.

v^2 = u^2 + 2gH

0^2 = 1666/25 + 2 \times a \times 0.5

a = -1666/25

\large {\boxed {a = -66.64 ~ m/s^2} }

A simple harmonic wave of wavelength 18.7 cm and amplitude 2.34 cm is propagating along a string in the negative x-direction at
Ostrovityanka [942]

Answer

Given:

Wavelength = λ = 18.7 cm

                  = 0.187 m

Amplitude, A = 2.34 cm

Velocity, v = 0.38 m/s

A)  Calculate the angular frequency.

     f = \dfrac{v}{\lambda}

     f = \dfrac{0.38}{0.187}

     f =2.03\ Hz

Angular frequency,

ω = 2π f

ω = 2π x 2.03

ω = 12.75 rad/s

B) Calculate the wave number:

      K = \dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}

     K= \dfrac{2\pi}{0.187}

    K =33.59\ m^{-1}

C)

Since the wave is traveling in the -x direction, the sign is positive between x and t

y (x, t) = A sin(k x - ω t)

y (x, t) = 2.34 sin(33.59 x - 12.75 t)

How many electrons must be removed from a neutral, isolated conducting sphere to give it a positive charge of 8.0 x 10 8 C? [Q=n
inna [987]

The new charge of the ball will amount to 8x10^8C after removing 5x10^27 electrons.

Explanation:

Initially, if the sphere is electrically neutral, its charge stands at 0C.

When an electron with a charge of (-1.6*10^-19 C) is taken away, we effectively add a positive charge, leading to:

1.6*10^-19 C as the sphere's new charge.

For a total of N electrons removed, the sphere's overall charge now becomes:

N*1.6*10^-19 C.

To calculate N when:

N*1.6*10^-19 C = 8.0x 10^8 C.

We find that N is: (8.0/1.6)x10^(8 + 19) = 5x10^27 electrons.

Which statements about inertia and centripetal force are correct? Check all that apply. Inertia is always present. Inertia cause
kicyunya [1025]
Inertia is universally present. It's important to note that inertia doesn't serve as the force keeping objects in circular paths; that role belongs to centripetal force, which is not always present. Centripetal force actively pulls objects towards the center of a circle. Both inertia and centripetal force contribute to the phenomenon of circular motion. Thank you, and enjoy your day;)

A hiker walks 200m west and then walks 100m north. What is the magnitude and direction of her resulting displacement?
Maru [1056]

A hiker proceeds 200 m west and subsequently another 100 m north, resulting in a displacement of 223 m. The direction can be determined using the trigonometric function where sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse, yielding an angle of 26.6 degrees. Therefore, the total displacement is 223 m at an angle of 26.6 degrees north of west.
