How long Tina, a ballerina, in the air when she leaps straight up with a speed of 1.8 m/s?

Physics

The acceleration of gravity on or near the surface of the Earth is 9.8 m/s².
Anything acted on only by gravity loses 9.8 m/s of upward speed, or gains
9.8 m/s of downward speed, every second.

Leaping straight upward at 1.8 m/s, Tina keeps rising until she runs out of
upward speed.  That happens in (1.8/9.8) = 0.1837 second after the leap.

After that, Finkel's First Law of Motion takes over:
"What goes up must come down."

The dropping part of the leap is symmetrical with the first.  Please don't
make me go through proving it.  Tina hits the floor at the same speed of
1.8 m/s with which she left it, and it takes the same amount of time to drop
from the peak to the floor as it took to rise from the floor to the peak.

So her total time out of contact with the floor is

                     2 x (0.1837 sec)  =  0.367 second  (rounded)

Why is Energy not created nor destroyed?<br> (Need the answer ASAP!!)
eduard

Since both heat and work can be measured and quantified, this is the same as saying that any change in the energy of a system must result in a corresponding change in the energy of the surroundings outside the system. In other words, energy cannot be created or destroyed.

The energy your body gets from food is originally provided by which nuclear
Naily [24]

Answer:

Nuclear Fusion

Explanation:

The process releases energy because the total mass of the resulting single nucleus is less than the mass of the two original nuclei. The leftover mass becomes energy.

A proton moving at 8.00 106 m/s through a magnetic field of magnitude 1.72 T experiences a magnetic force of magnitude 7.20 10-1
gladu [14]

Answer:

19.1 deg

Explanation:

v = speed of the proton = 8 x 10⁶ m/s

B = magnitude of the magnetic field = 1.72 T

q = magnitude of charge on the proton = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

F = magnitude of magnetic force on the proton = 7.20 x 10⁻¹³ N

θ = Angle between proton's velocity and magnetic field

magnitude of magnetic force on the proton is given as

F = q v B Sinθ

7.20 x 10⁻¹³ = (1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹) (8 x 10⁶) (1.72) Sinθ

Sinθ = 0.327

θ = 19.1 deg

Water that flows from behind a large dam can cause machines to produce electricity. What change takes place?
lyudmila [28]
The mechanical energy in the falling water is used to spin the generator, and gets transformed into electrical energy.  That's the first choice on the list.
