Answer:
Kinetic energy of diver at 90% of the distance to the water is 9000 J
Explanation:
Let d is the distance between the position of the diver and surface of the pool.
Initially, the diver is at rest and only have potential energy which is equal to 10000 J.
As the diver dives towards the pool, its potential energy is converting into kinetic energy due to law of conservation of energy, as total energy of the system remains same.
Energy before diving = Energy during diving
(Potential Energy + Kinetic Energy) = (Kinetic Energy + Potential Energy)
When the diver reaches 90% of the distance to the water, its kinetic energy
is 90% to its initial potential energy, as its initial kinetic is zero,i.e.,
K.E. = 
K.E. = 9000 J
No additional force is required because it's already going downhill
Answer:
If the canoe heads upstream the speed is zero. And directly across the river is 8.48 [km/h] towards southeast
Explanation:
When the canoe moves upstream, it is moving in the opposite direction of the normal river current. Since the velocities are vector (magnitude and direction) we can sum each vector:
Vr = velocity of the river = 6[km/h}
Vc = velocity of the canoe = -6 [km/h]
We take the direction of the river as positive, therefore other velocity in the opposite direction will be negative.
Vt = Vr + Vc = 6 - 6 = 0 [km/h]
For the second question, we need to make a sketch of the canoe and we are watching this movement at a high elevation. So let's say that the canoe is located in point 0 where it is located one of the river's borders.
So we are having one movement to the right (x-direction). And the movement of the river to the south ( - y-direction).
Since the velocities are vector we can sum each vector, so using the Pythagoras theorem we have:
![Vt = \sqrt{(6)^{2} +(-6)^{2} } \\Vt=8.48[km/h]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Vt%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%7B%286%29%5E%7B2%7D%20%2B%28-6%29%5E%7B2%7D%20%7D%20%5C%5CVt%3D8.48%5Bkm%2Fh%5D)
There is kinetic energy when it is sitting at the top, then as it goes towards the bottom, the kinetic energy is transformed into potential energy.
