The working equation would be Vf (final velocity) = Vi (initial velocity) + a (acceleration) t (time). The given data are the initial velocity (5.0 m/s), acceleration (-2.5 m/s^2, negative since it is said to decelerate) and the final velocity (0 m/s, since it will put to a stop). The time would be 2 seconds.

Which of the following is a unit of mass?
Bogdan [553]

the answer is c: kilogram

explanation:  The standard International System of Units (SI) unit of mass is the kilogram (kg). The kilogram is 1000 grams (g), first defined in 1795 as one cubic decimeter of water at the melting point of ice.

When a 0.622 kg basketball hits the floor, its velocity changes from 4.23 m/s down to 3.85 m/s up. If the ball was in contact wi
SVEN [57.7K]

when the ball hits the floor and bounces back the momentum of the ball changes.

the rate of change of momentum is the force exerted by the floor on it.

the equation for the force exerted is

f = rate of change of momentum

f = \frac{mv - mu}{t}

v is the final velocity which is - 3.85 m/s

u is initial velocity - 4.23 m/s

m = 0.622 kg

time is the impact time of the ball in contact with the floor - 0.0266 s

substituting the values

f = \frac{0.622 kg (3.85 m/s - (-)4.23 m/s)}{0.0266}

since the ball is going down, we take that as negative and ball going upwards as positive.

f = 189 N

the force exerted from the floor is 189 N

A 61.0-kg person jumps from rest off a 10.0-m-high tower straight down into the water. Neglect air resistance. She comes to rest
9966 [12]

Answer:

Explanation:

In this case, law of conservation of energy will be implemented. It states that "the energy of the system remains conserved until or unless some external force act on it. Energy of the system may went through the conversion process like kinetic energy into potential and potential into kinetic energy.But their total always remain the same in conserved systems."

Given data:

Height of tower = 10.0 m

Depth of the pool = 3.00 cm

Mass of person = 61.0 kg

Solution:

Initial energy = Final energy

U_{i} =  (K.E) + U_{f}

As the person was at height initially so it has the potential energy only.

mg(h_{1} +h_{2}) = K.E + mgh_{2}

K.E = mgh_{1}

K.E = (61.0)(9.8)(10)\\K.E = 5978 J

Lets find out the magnitude of the force that the water is exerting on the diver.

W =ΔK.E

F.h_{2} = 5978\\

F = \frac{5978}{3}

F = 1992.67 N

calculate the period of a wave whose frequency is 5 Hertz and whose wavelength is one centimeter give your answer in a decimal f
olga2289 [7]
The period of the wave is the reciprocal of its frequency.

       1 / (5 per second)  =  0.2 second .

The wavelength is irrelevant to the period.  But since you
gave it to us, we can also calculate the speed of the wave.

Wave speed = (frequency) x (wavelength)

                   = (5 per second) x (1cm)  =  5 cm per second
