If a skydiver jumps out of a plane horizontally (in other words with no initial vertical velocity), then what will her vertical

speed be after having fallen a vertical distance of 50.8m if you neglect air resistance over that distance?

The final vertical velocity of the skydiver at 50.8 m of fall is 31.56 m/s.

<h3>Time of motion of the girl</h3>

The time of motion of the girl is calculated as follows;

h = vt + ¹/₂gt²

where;

  • v is initial vertical velocity = 0
  • t is time of motion
  • g is acceleration due to gravity

Substitute the given parameters and solve for time of motion;

50.8 = 0 + ¹/₂(9.8)t²

2(50.8) = 9.8t²

101.6 = 9.8t²

t² = 101.6/9.8

t² = 10.367

t = √10.367

t = 3.22 seconds

<h3>Final vertical velocity of the skydiver</h3>

vf = vi + gt

where;

vi is the initial vertical velocity = 0

vf = 0 + 9.8(3.22)

vf = 31.56 m/s

Thus, the final vertical velocity of the skydiver at 50.8 m of fall is 31.56 m/s.

I'm assuming the question is time it will take for ball to reach ground, if it is then set equation to zero then use the quadratic formula, the possible t value is your answer then

What is one way to increase the amplitude of a wave in a medium
vovikov84 [41]

supply it with more energy. one way to do is to produce vibrations in the same frequency as the wave. This would cause resonance leading to higher amplitude

Answer:

    K = m g (A - A2)

Explanation:

In a block spring system the total energy is the sum of the potential energy plus the kinetic energy, for maximum elongation all the energy is potential

         Em = U₀ = m g A

For when the system is at an ele

Elongation A2 less than A, energy has two parts

        Em = K + U₂

       K = Em –U₂

We substitute

     K = m g A - m gA2

    K = m g (A - A2)

Listed following are three possible models for the long-term expansion (and possible contraction) of the universe in the absence
sineoko [7]

Answer:

From smallest ratio to the largest ratio:

Coasting Universe - Critical Universe - Recollapsing Universe(From left to right)

Explanation:

The coasting universe is one that expands at a constant rate given by the Hubble constant throughout all of cosmic time. It has a ratio of actual density to critical density that is less than 1

The critical universe is one that is at balance with no expansion .I.e. the actual density and the critical density are equal, which makes the ratio of actual density to critical density to be equal to 1

Recollapsing Universe: The expansion of the universe reverses in the future and the universe eventually recollapses. The recollapsing universe has the ratio of the actual density to the critical density to be greater than 1
