You can painlessly wade into a pool, but doing a belly flop off of the high diving board hurts because of the cohesion of the water molecules.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Water is represented as H20 where two hydrogen atoms are bonded to one oxygen atom. Due to force of attraction between the water molecules they stick together providing a greater force when an object or a body acts upon them.

Hence moving slowly in water or dipping slowly will not produce any opposite form whereas flipping does as it tries to separate the body between the water molecules when we fall with a certain amount of force.

Answer:

Power = 2702.56 W

Explanation:

Let the power consumed be P

Energy expended = E = mgh

height, h = 5 m

E = 80 * 9.8 * 5

E = 3920 J

Power = \frac{Energy}{time}

To calculate the time, t

From F = ma

F = 900 N

900 = 80 a

a = 900/80

a = 11.25 m/s²

From the equation of motion, s = ut + 0.5at^{2}

The drill head starts from rest, u = 0 m/s

5 = 0 * t + (0.5*11.25*t^{2} )\\5 = 5.625t^{2}\\t^{2} = 5/5.625\\t^{2} = 0.889\\t = 0.943 s

Power, P = E/t

P = 3920/0.0.943

P = 4157.79 W

But Efficiency, E = 0.65

P = 0.65 * 4157.79

Power = 2702.56 W

An object on Earth's surface has a weight of 609 N. What is its mass?
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

62.1 kg

Explanation:

Weight = mass × acceleration

609 N = mass × (9.8)

The acceleration is 9.8 because that is the acceleration of gravity.

Divide both sides by 9.8 to isolate the mass.

609N/9.8 = mass

62.1 kg =mass

What must you do to calculate a meaningful value of distance from the following equation?
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

Convert all the times to either hours or seconds

Explanation:

One time unit is in hours, and the other is in seconds.  In order to do the math, the units need to be the same.  So you either need to convert hours to seconds, or seconds to hours.
