Answer:

1120 N

Explanation:

The velocity with which he hits the water can be found with kinematics:

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

v² = (0 m/s)² + 2 (-9.8 m/s²) (-9.00 m)

v = -13.3 m/s

Or it can be found with conservation of energy.

PE = KE

mgh = ½ mv²

v = √(2gh)

v = √(2 × -9.8 m/s² × -9.00 m)

v = -13.3 m/s

Sum of forces on the diver after he hits the water:

∑F = ma

F − mg = m Δv/Δt

F − (74.0 kg) (9.8 m/s²) = (74.0 kg) (0 m/s − (-13.3 m/s)) / (2.50 s)

F = 1120 N

A 10.0 cm object is 5.0 cm from a concave mirror that has a focal length of 12 cm. What is the distance between the image and th
fiasKO [112]
Let's use the mirror equation to solve the problem:
\frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{d_o}+ \frac{1}{d_i}
where f is the focal length of the mirror, d_o the distance of the object from the mirror, and d_i the distance of the image from the mirror.
For a concave mirror, for the sign convention f is considered to be positive. So we can solve the equation for d_i by using the numbers given in the text of the problem:
\frac{1}{12 cm}= \frac{1}{5 cm}+ \frac{1}{d_i}
\frac{1}{d_i}= -\frac{7}{60 cm}
d_i = -8.6 cm
Where the negative sign means that the image is virtual, so it is located behind the mirror, at 8.6 cm from the center of the mirror.

Why are the outlets in homes never wired in series? What problems might this present?
rosijanka [135]
A series circuit means that there is only one current. Which means that everything is sharing that one wire. Homes are normally wired with a parallel circuit, which means that there is more than one current running through the house. If you have a series, if you turn on one thing for example a light switch, than everything will turn on with it. But of you have  a parallel you can turn on everything one by one, and save energy.

Trust me. I just took my semester test in physical science this morning, and I passed. This is exactly what we learned. <span />
