The second diver have to leap to make a competitive splash by 4.08 m high.

<h3>What is potential energy?</h3>

The energy by virtue of its position is called the potential energy.

PE = mgh

where, g = 9.81 m/s²

Given is the diver jumps from a 3.00-m platform. one diver has a mass of 136 kg and simply steps off the platform. another diver has a mass of 100 kg and leaps upward from the platform.

The potential energy of the first diver must be equal to the second diver.

P.E₁ = P.E₂

m₁gh₁ = m₂gh₂

Substitute the vales, we have

136 x 3 = 100 x h₂

h₂ = ₂4.08 m

Thus, the second diver need to leap by 4.08 m high.

Most street lights are made from one or two elements mercury or sodium. Explain why astronomers preferred that cities you sodium

lora16 [44]

Mercury is very harmful to the average human being. the mercury can easily be released from the lamp if the lamp is knocked over and broken. mercury is also harmful if inhaled. sodium on the other hand is not harmful in any way.

Astronaut Sarah leaves Earth in a spaceship at a speed of 0.280c relative to Earth. Sarah's destination is a star-system 12.5 li

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

L= 12 light years

Explanation:

for length dilation we use the formula

$L=L_0\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} }$

now calculating Lo

Lo = 12.5×365×24×3600×3×10^8

= 1.183×10^17 m

now putting the values of v and Lo in the above equation we get

$L=1.183\times10^{17}\sqrt{1-\frac{0.28c^2}{c^2} }$

= 1.136×10^17 m

L= $= \frac{1.136\times10^{17}}{365\times24\times3600\times3\times10^8}$ m

so L= 12 light years
