the time a male bungee jumps is freely falling is 1.5 seconds. what is the velocity of the jumper at the end
V = g t will tell you the answer.
"g" is the acceleration of gravity.
Please capitalize the beginning of sentences and questions. You omitted a word (probably "that") in the first sentence. It should have read:
The time THAT a male bungee jumper is freely falling is 1.5 seconds.
The answer would be the same for a female jumper.
-978.5 m/s
To determine the velocity of the jumper at the end of the free fall, we need to know the acceleration due to gravity and the distance fallen during the 1.5-second free fall.
The acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.8 m/s² (meters per second squared). During free fall, the velocity of an object increases by this amount every second.
To calculate the distance fallen, we can use the equation for free fall:
distance = 0.5 * acceleration * time²
Since we know the time of free fall is 1.5 seconds, we can substitute the values into the equation:
distance = 0.5 * 9.8 m/s² * (1.5 seconds)²
distance = 0.5 * 9.8 m/s² * 2.25
distance = 11.025 meters
Now, we can find the velocity using the formula:
velocity = acceleration * time
velocity = 9.8 m/s² * 1.5 seconds
velocity = 14.7 m/s
Therefore, the velocity of the male bungee jumper at the end of the free fall is 14.7 meters per second.
To determine the velocity of the bungee jumper at the end of the free fall, we need to know two things: the distance fallen and the acceleration due to gravity.
Given that the free fall time is 1.5 seconds, we can find the distance fallen using the formula for free fall:
d = (1/2) * g * t^2
Where:
d is the distance fallen,
g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2),
t is the time in seconds.
Plugging in the values:
d = (1/2) * 9.8 * (1.5)^2
d = 1/2 * 9.8 * 2.25
d = 11.025 meters (rounded to three decimal places).
Now that we know the distance fallen, we can calculate the final velocity using another equation:
v^2 = u^2 + 2 * a * s
Where:
v is the final velocity,
u is the initial velocity (which is zero since the jumper is at rest before falling),
a is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2),
s is the distance fallen.
Plugging in the values:
v^2 = 0 + 2 * 9.8 * 11.025
v^2 = 215.196
v ≈ 14.67 m/s (rounded to two decimal places).
Therefore, the velocity of the bungee jumper at the end of the free fall is approximately 14.67 m/s.
