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

The resistance of resistor is greater for:
Monica [59]

Answer:

c: long and thin resistor.

Explanation:

The resistance of a resistor is given by:

R = ρ*L/A

where:

R = resistance

ρ = resistivity (depends on the material)

L =  length of the material

A = cross-sectional area of the material

We can see that the length is on the numerator, which means that if we increase the length, then the resistance is increased.

We also can see that the cross-sectional area is on the denominator, then if we increase the area (for example, with a ticker resistor) the resistance decreases.

Then if we want to maximize the resistance, we need to have a long and thin resistor, so the correct answer is c.

Does the under water pressure depend on the molecules of the air or what does it depend on
miskamm [114]

Answer:the pressure depends on gas and it will be half as much underwater

Explanation:

Water pressure increases with the depth of the water. This is because the weight of the column of water above the object increases. But a large, shallow pond may have more water in it than a small, deep pond.

This is due to an increase in hydrostatic pressure, the force per unit area exerted by a liquid on an object. The deeper you go under the sea, the greater the pressure of the water pushing down on you. For every 33 feet (10.06 meters) you go down, the pressure increases by one atmosphere .

A hotel elevator ascends 200m with maximum speed of 5m/s. Its acceleration and deceleration both have a magnitude of 1.0m/s2. Pa
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

45 s .

Explanation:

The accelerator will first accelerate , then move with uniform velocity and at last it will decelerate to rest .

displacement s = ?

acceleration a = 1 m /s²

Final speed v = 5 m/s

initial speed u = 0

v² = u² + 2as

5² = 0 + 2 x 1 x s

s = 12.5  m

B)  Let time of acceleration or deceleration be t

v = u + a t

5 = 0 + 1 t

t = 5 s

Similarly displacement during deceleration = 12.5 m

Total distance during uniform motion = 200 - ( 12.5 + 12.5 ) =  175 m .

velocity of uniform motion = 5 m /s

time during which there was uniform velocity = 175 / 5 = 35 s

Total time = 5 + 35 + 5 = 45 s .
