AP physics questions
Hi guys, i'm preparing for the AP physics exam.... please help me answer these questions. thank you.
9. A diver initially moving horizontally with speed v dives off the edge of a vertical cliff and lands in the water a distance d from the base of the cliff. How far from the base of the cliff would the diver have landed if the diver initially had been moving horizontally with speed 2v ?

21. A square loop of copper wire is initially placed perpendicular to the lines of a constant magnetic field of 5 x 10-3 tesla. The area enclosed by the loop is 0.2 square meter.

i really have no idea how to do some of them...
Thanks for helping.

You have 10 and 5 correct.
21 looks right too
In 23 use the formula PV=kT.
In 22, remember that Joule is a measure of energy.

for 9 :
the diver has no initial vertical velocity ..hence in both cases it took same time to hit the water
so for horizontal speed v , he travels a distance d = v*t for 2v he travels 2*v*t = 2*d.
so the answer should be C

@leflon,
> i agree with avisit that C) is correct, if we can assume that the vertical velocity is constant over the complete way. if there is an vertical accelelration it's a different story. as i can't find any hint about this in the question i would agree.
If the vehicle was ever to hit the water, there would be a vertical acceleration because the initial vertical velocity of the vehicle was zero. The impact (vehicle with water) distance from the base of the cliff is directly proportional to the horizontal velocity of the vehicle (as avizit stated). Double the speed that the vehicle leaves the cliff, and it will land twice as far away.

shame on me!!
oh stupid me, i really should take care to read (!!!!) and understand the question. so he is jumping from a cliff INTO the water. and the cliff is not getting higher (where did i get this from). oh man this is not my day.

ok, i will try it again (one last time)
10) the energy stiored in the spring is divided onto both bodies in an equal amount, resulting in two equally distributed cinetic energies.
so we have (1/2)*m1*v1^2 = (1/2)*m2*v2^2
doing a little bit of conversion you get
m1*v1^2 5kg*(1/5 m/s)^2 1 m
v2^2 = --------------------- -> v2=root(------------------
m2 7kg root(35) s
please tell me i'm not wrong again :-)
cheers

@ozo
is this
p' = m*v' has to be constant, as the initial system (no movement) has a momentum of 0 it has to be the same as the two bodies start moving. as the movements (velocities) are in oposite direction there resulting momentums add to 0.
-> (now in scalar mode) m1*v1=m2*v2 -> v2=(m1*v1)/v2 -> B)?
i should really start thinking before writing. i will try to improve.
thanks a lot
