You are watching that guy on his bike jump off a ramp again. Where will you see his vertical velocity become zero?
a) at the top of the trajectory
b) right before he hits the ground again
c) when he first jumps off the ramp
d) nowhere on the trajectory
The vertical velocity of the bike is the rate at which its height is increasing. If the vertical velocity is positive, that is upwards, then its height is increasing.
If the vertical velocity is negative, the height is decreasing.
At the top of the trajectory the vertical velocity of the object is zero.
We can see this by the following reasoning, if the vertical velocity is positive, its height is still increasing so it can't be at top, and if the vertical velocity is negative, its height is decreasing it means, it is not at the top at some earlier moment. Hence at the top verical velocity is Zero.

You are watching that guy on a bike jump off of a ramp again. Suppose you are told that his initial velocity in the x direction is 4.5 m/s and his initial velocity in the y direction is 6.8 m/s. What is his overall initial velocity? a) 66 m/s b) 3.4 m/s c) 8.2 m/s d) 11 m/s What is the angle of this?
A 165 lb student lands from a vertical jump and immediately jumps vertically again. The average ground reaction force is 1735 N which is applied for 0.33s. He was moving 1.2 m/s downwards when he first contacted the ground. What will his velocity be at takeoff? What will be his jump height?
Spectators watch a bicycle stunt rider travel off the end of a 60.0 degree ramp, rise to the top of his trajectory, and at that instant, suddenly push his bike away from him so that he falls vertically straight down, reaching the ground 0.550 seconds later. How far from the rider does the bicycle land if the rider has a mass of M = 72.0 kg and the bike has a mass of m = 12.0 kg? Neglect air resistance...
Please answer both
A motocross hike drives off of a jump angled at 45 degree. When the bike leaves the jump, it has a speed of 20 m/n (about 40 mph). To ensure a smooth landing, the landing ramp nerds to be at the same angle as the hikes trajectory when it lands. If the landing ramp is 15 meters lower than the jump, what angle below the horizon should the Undoing ramp slope down? -30 degree -12 degree -58...
A 56-kg mother and her 32-kg son are sledding down a 20° incline when their 8-kg toboggan hits a small bump and the son falls off the sled (he was not holding onto the toboggan as instructed by his mother). After one second, the mother jumps off the toboggan to see if her son is unharmed. The son leaves the toboggan with zero relative velocity, and the mother has a relative velocity of 1 m/s up the hill when she...
1. A boy takes a running jump off the high-dive board at the local pool. His speed as he leaves the board is 3.0 m/s and the board is 5.0 m above the water. What is his speed just before he hits the water? please include an energy chart 2. A roller-coaster car rolls over the crest of 18 m high hill at a speed of 3.2 m/s. The car then rolls down the track to the bottom of the...
DI Question 24 1 pts You watch as your young neighbor falls off his bike. He seems to have hurt himself. According to the empathy-altruism hypothesis, in which situation are you most likely to help? O Before he falls, you are thinking about how easy it is to ride a bike O Before he falls, you remember that his mother owes you $50 O After he falls, you remember how you got hurt falling off your bike and can feel...
Zero Launch Angle - Car Drives Off a Cliff A car drives straight off the edge of a cliff that is h =40 m high. The police at the scene of the accident note that the point of impact is d =86 m from the base of the cliff. Here the initial speed v0 is unknown. Ignore air resistance. The magnitude of the gravitational acceleration is 9.8 m/s2. Choose the RIGHT as positive x-direction. Choose UPWARD as positive y-direction. A....
I need help with this physics on projectile motion problem! 4.83: A motorcycle daredevil wants to set a record for jumping over burning school buses. He has hired you to help with the design. He intends to ride off a horizontal platform at 40m/s, cross the burning buses in a pit below him, then land on a ramp sloping down at 20∘. It's very important that he not bounce when he hits the landing ramp because that could cause him...
a) A man jumps off the roof of an office building onto a trampoline 30 m below. His speed is 5 m/s when he umps from the roof and his mass (with all of her gear) is 60 kg. How high will he go when he bounces back up from the trampoline? You can assume his speed at the top of his bounce is zero. b) Describe the changes in mechanical energy that take place during his jump. c) A...
