4. Word Problems

 

www.sihunt.co.uk Russian long jumper Tayana Lebedeva performs a
double hitch action in the 2007 world finals in Osaka Japan.

 

 

 

Ex) An athlete doing a running jump leaves ground at an angle of 25.° and a velocity of 10. m/s.

(a) What is the initial vertical component (Viy) of the athlete's velocity?

 

Ex)  An athlete doing a running jump leaves ground at an angle of 25.° and a velocity of 10. m/s.

 

(a) What is the initial vertical component (Viy) of the athlete's velocity?

                   

 

 

Viy = VisinӨ

 

 

 = (10. m/s)sin25.°

 

 

 

= 4.2 m/s up

 

 

(b) How long does it take for
the athlete to reach her maximum height?

X Y
t = ? Viy = 4.2 m/s
(from before)
 
t  =  ?
  Vfy= 0
(peak)
 
ay = -9.8 m/s2

 

 

Vf = Vi + at

 

 

0 =4.2 m/s+(-9.8 m/s2)t

 

 

(subtract 4.2 m/s from both sides)

 

- 4.2 m/s = (-9.8 m/s2)t

 

 

 

(- 4.2 m/s)/(-9.8 m/s2) = t

 

 

 

t = .43 secs
 to reach peak

 

 

 

(c) How long did it take for the athlete to complete the entire jump?

(c) How far did she jump?

 

 

 

dx = ?

 

 

(c) How far did she jump?

 

dx = ?

t = .86 sec

 

dx = Vxt

 

 

(Must find Vx first)

 

Vx = VcosӨ

 

 

Vx = (10. m/s)cos25.°

 

Vx = 9.1 m/s

 

 

 

dx = 9.1 m/s(.86 sec)

 

 

 

dx = 7.8 m
