A motorcyclist intends to perform a stunt

Reference no: EM13656314

A motorcyclist intends to perform a stunt in which he jumps a river 25 meters wide. The motorcyclist must jump from a cliff on one side to a cliff 20 meters lower on the other side. The motorcyclist approaches the cliff's edge at a speed of 50 meters per second. To determine if he will successfully make the jump, answer the following questions:

a. How long will he be in the air?
b. How far will he travel in a horizontal direction?
c. Will he make the jump?

What is radius of geostationary orbit for this neutron star : The weight of a star is usually balanced by two forces: the gravitational force, acting inward, and the force created by nuclear reaction, acting outward. Over a long period of time, the force due to nuclear reactions gets weaker, causing the grav..

Calculate the wave speed : The distance between two successive maxima of a transverse wave is 1.20m. Eight crests, or maxima, pass a given point along the direction of travel every 12.0s. Calculate the wave speed.

How temperature and humidity affect the speed of sound : The speed of sound does not depend on the loudness or the frequency of sound. The speed of sound in dry air 0 degree celsius is 330 m/s. Explain how temperature and humidity affect the speed of sound.

As astronauts travel between the earth and the moon : As astronauts travel between the Earth and the moon, their mass remains constant, but their weight diminishes. Assume the Earth and moon are in a fixed position relative to each other and the astronauts travel directly from the Earth to the moon.

An astronaut on a distant planet notices : An astronaut on a distant planet notices that it takes 8 seconds for an object to drop 32 meters beginning from a resting position. Determine the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity on the planet.

How far did projectile travel horizontally during its flight : A plane, diving with constant speed at an angle of 49.0° with the vertical, releases a projectile at an altitude of 560 m. The projectile hits the ground 6.00 s after release.
