A daring 510-N swimmer dives off a cliff with a running horizontal leap. What must her minimum speed be just as she leaves the t

op of the cliff so that she will miss the ledge at the bottom, which is 1.75 m wide and 9.00 m below the top of the cliff?

Answer:

v_x = 1.26 m/s

Explanation:

given,

weight of swimmer = 510 N

length of ledge, L = 1.75 m

vertical height of the cliff, h =  9 m

speed of the swimmer = ?

horizontal velocity  of the swimmer should be that much it can cross the wedge.

distance = speed x time

d = v_x × t

1.75 = v_x × t ........(1)

now,time taken by the swimmer to cover 9 m

initial vertical velocity of the swimmer is zero.

using equation of motion for time calculation

s = ut +\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

9= 0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times t^2

  t² = 1.938

  t = 1.39 s

same time will be taken to cover horizontal distance.

now, from equation 1

1.75 = v_x × 1.39

v_x = 1.26 m/s

horizontal speed of the swimmer is equal to 1.26 m/s

A 62.2 kg ice skater moving to the right with a velocity of 2.66 m/s throws a 0.145 kg snowball to the right with a velocity of
Travka [436]

Answer:

Velocity of skater after throwing the snowball is 2.57 m/s

Explanation:

Given :

Mass of skater, M = 62.2 kg

Mass of snowball, m = 0.145 kg

Velocity of snowball relative to ground, v = 39.3 m/s

Consider v₁ be the velocity of skater after throwing the snowball.

According to the problem, initially the velocity of skater and snowball is same. So,

Velocity of skater before throwing snowball, u = 2.66 m/s

Applying conservation of momentum,

Momentum before throwing snowball = Momentum after throwing snowball

(M + m) u = Mv₁ + mv

v_{1}=\frac{(M+m)u-mv}{M}

Substitute the suitable values in the above equation.

v_{1}=\frac{(62.2+0.145)2.66-0.145\times39.3}{62.2}

v₁ = 2.57 m/s

When you connect an unknown resistor across the terminals of a 1.50 V D-cell battery having negligible internal resistance, you
g100num [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using ohm's law

a) V = IR where V is voltage in Volt, I is current in Ampere and R is resistance in ohms

R = V / I = 1.50 V/ ( 2.05 /1000) A = 731.71 ohms

b) Power = IV = \frac{V}{R} × v = \frac{V^{2} }{R} = \frac{9^{2} }{731.71} = 0.1107 W

c) E = IR + Ir = ( 731.71 × 0.0036) + ( 35 × 0.0036) = 2.76 V

d) Power use by the resistor = I²R = 0.0036² × 731.71 = 0.00948 W = 0.00948 W = 0.000009483 kw × ( 18 / 60 ) H = 2.84 × 10⁻⁶ KW-H

A hockey puck sliding on a frictionless surface strikes a box at rest. After the collision, the two objects stick together and m
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

Answer:

f) The puck conserves its original momentum but loses some, but not all, of its mechanical energy.

 Explanation:

It is a case of perfectly inelastic collision . So momentum will be conserved because no external force acts on them during the collision . But there will be loss of energy ( kinetic energy ) . It will be in the form of sound or heat that is produced during collision. They will still have some kinetic energy even after the collision.
