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 rocket in deep space has an exhaust-gas speed of 2000 m/s. When the rocket is fully loaded, the mass of the fuel is five times
Sav [3153]

Answer:

 v_{f} = 1,386 m / s

Explanation:

The mechanism behind rocket propulsion is defined by the formula

       v_{f} - v₀ =  v_{r} ln (M₀ / Mf)

Here, v refers to the initial, final, and relative velocities, while M indicates the masses

The provided values include the relative velocity (see = 2000 m / s) and the initial mass, where the mass of the rocket when loaded is represented as (M₀ = 5Mf)

For our analysis, we assume the rocket begins at rest (v₀ = 0)

Once half of the fuel has burnt, the mass ratio indicates that the current mass is    

       M = 2.5 Mf

       v_{f} - 0 = 2000 ln (5Mf / 2.5 Mf) = 2000 ln 2

       v_{f} = 1,386 m / s

ValentinkaMS [3465]
The tension calculated is 236 N. The formula for tension is T = mg + ma. With the following values: m = 20 kg, g = 9.8 m/s², and a = 2.0 m/s², we find T = m(g + a) = 20(9.8 + 2.0) = 20(11.8) = 236 N.

Two golf carts have horns that emit sound with a frequency of 394 Hz. The golf carts are traveling toward one another, each trav
Sav [3153]
The frequency detected is 394 Hz. This question pertains to the Doppler effect, outlined by the equation fo = {c + vo}/{c - vs} × f. Here, fo is the observed frequency, c denotes sound speed at 345 m/s, vo is the observer's velocity of 9.5 m/s, and vs refers to the source's velocity of -9.5 m/s (the negative indicates opposite directions). The source's frequency is given as 394 Hz. Substituting the values leads to fo = {345 + 9.5}/{345 + 9.5} × 394. Simplifying yields fo = (354.5/354.5) × 394 = 1 × 394 = 394 Hz.

A 120-g block of copper is taken from a kiln and quickly placed into a beaker of negligible heat capacity containing 300 g of wa
ValentinkaMS [3465]

Answer: The correct choice is (d) 535^oC

Explanation:

This analysis assumes that the heat supplied by the hot body matches the heat absorbed by the cold body.

q_1=-q_2

m_1\times c_1\times (T_f-T_1)=-m_2\times c_2\times (T_f-T_2)

where,

c_1 = the specific heat capacity of copper = 0.10cal/g^oC

c_2 = the specific heat capacity of water = 1.00cal/g^oC

m_1 = the mass of copper = 120 g

m_2 = the mass of water = 300 g

T_f = the final temperature of the mixture = 35^oC

T_1 = the initial temperature of copper =?

T_2 = the initial temperature of water = 15^oC  

Using the provided values in the equation yields:

120g\times 0.10cal/g^oC\times (35-T_1)^oC=-300g\times 1.00cal/g^oC\times (35-15)^oC

T_1=535^oC

Thus, the temperature of the kiln is approximately 535^oC

When a 85 kg man sits on the stool, by what percent does the length of the legs decrease? assume, for simplicity, that the stool
Yuliya22 [3333]

To determine stress, we utilize the formula Stress = Force / Area. In this scenario, the force exerted by a person weighing 85 kg on the stool is calculated as F = mg = 85 kg * 9.8 m/s² = 833 N. Next, we find the total area of the three legs: A = 3 π (D/2)² = 3 π (2.5 x 10^-2 / 2)² = 1.4726 x 10^-3 m². Substituting into the equation gives Stress = 833 N / 1.4726 x 10^-3 m² = 5.656 x 10^5 N/m². To find strain, we apply the formula strain = Stress / Young’s modulus, with wood having Y = 1.3 x 10^10 N/m². Thus, strain = 5.656 x 10^5 N/m² / 1.3 x 10^10 N/m² = 4.35 x 10^-5 = 0.00435%.



This indicates that the legs will shorten by 0.00435%
