The proof that the displacement of a body in nth second which is given by the S=u+a/2(2n-1) is explained below.

<h3>Calculations and Parameters</h3>

Given:

u= initial velocity
a= acceleration

Displacement during nth second= displacement in n seconds- displacement in (n-1) seconds

= [ $un + \frac{1}{2} gn^2] - [ u(n-1) + \frac{1}{2} g(n-1)^2]$

= (u * 1) + g(n *1) - $\frac{g}{2}$ (1 *1)

Hence, in (n-1) seconds, n has a unit of time and 1 has a unit of time (not a constant)

Therefore, u(m/s) is multiplied by 1 (unit of time)

g(m/s^2) is multiplied by ( n*1 ), having units of time, i.e s^2

g/2 is also multiplied by ( 1 * 1, also having units of time, i.e s^2

Therefore, the equation is dimensionally correct and we should note that 1 is not a constant in the equation as the time of 1 second in (n-1) second.

Water evaporates at 100⁰C

So change in temperature = 100-20 = 80⁰C

Amount of water to be evaporated = 1 liter = 1L*1kg/liter = 1 kg

Specific heat of water is 1 calorie/gram ⁰C = 4.186 joule/gram =4186 J/kg

So heat required E = mcΔT = 1 * 4186 *80= 334880 J =334.88 kJ

So amount of heat require to evaporate water = 334.88 kJ

Jess rides her motorcycle at an average speed of 20 m/s for 500 seconds. how far did she ride

Sedaia [141]

Distance = (speed) x (time)

Distance = (20 m/s) x (500 s)

Distance = (20 x 500) (m·s / s)

Distance = 10,000 m

A diver leaves the end of a 4.0 m high diving board and strikes the water 1.3s later, 3.0m beyond the end of the board. Consider

shutvik [7]

Answer:

4.0 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the diver is the motion of a projectile: so we need to find the horizontal and the vertical component of the initial velocity.

Let's consider the horizontal motion first. This motion occurs with constant speed, so the distance covered in a time t is

$d=v_x t$

where here we have

d = 3.0 m is the horizontal distance covered

vx is the horizontal velocity

t = 1.3 s is the duration of the fall

Solving for vx,

$v_x = \frac{d}{t}=\frac{3.0 m}{1.3 s}=2.3 m/s$

Now let's consider the vertical motion: this is an accelerated motion with constant acceleration g=9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground. The vertical position at time t is given by

$y(t) = h + v_y t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

where

h = 4.0 m is the initial height

vy is the initial vertical velocity

We know that at t = 1.3 s, the vertical position is zero: y = 0. Substituting these numbers, we can find vy

$0=h+v_y t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2\\v_y = \frac{0.5gt^2-h}{t}=\frac{0.5(9.8 m/s^2)(1.3 s)^2-4.0 m}{1.3 s}=3.3 m/s$

So now we can find the magnitude of the initial velocity:

$v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}=\sqrt{(2.3 m/s)^2+(3.3 m/s)^2}=4.0 m/s$
