In springboard diving, the diver strides out to the end of the board, takes a jump onto its end, and uses the resultant spring-l

ike nature of the board to help propel him into the air. Assume that the diver's motion is essentially vertical. He leaves the board, which is 3.0 m above the water, with a speed of 6.3 m/s. The diver is in the air for 1.7 s from when he left the board to the water. What is the speed of the diver when he reaches the water?

Answer:

final speed with which it will hit the water is v = 9.92 m/s

Explanation:

Here we know that diver's motion is essentially in air

So the motion of diver is under gravity at uniform acceleration

so we can use kinematic in order to find the final velocity

so we will have

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2ad

v_f^2 - 6.3^2 = 2(9.8)(3)

so we will have

v_f = 9.92 m/s

so final speed with which it will hit the water is v = 9.92 m/s

Answer:

10.4 m/s

Explanation:

The problem can be solved by using the following SUVAT equation:

v=u+at

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time

For the diver in the problem, we have:

u=+6.3 m/s is the initial velocity (positive because it is upward)

a=g=-9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity (negative because it is downward)

By substituting t = 1.7 s, we find the velocity when the diver reaches the water:

v=+6.3 + (-9.8)(1.7)=-10.4 m/s

And the negative sign means that the direction is downward: so, the speed is 10.4 m/s.

A current is established in a gas discharge tube when a sufficiently high potential difference is applied across the two electro
pishuonlain [190]

Explanation:

It is given that the number of electrons passing through the cross-sectional area in 1 s is 3.4 \times 10^{18}. Also, we know that charge on an electron is -1.60 \times 10^{-19} C, then negative charge crossing to the left per second is  as follows.

         I- = 3.4 \times 10^{18} electrons \times -1.6 x 10^{-19} C/electrons

         I- = 0.544 A

As it is given that the number of protons crossing per second is 1.4 \times 10^{18}, as the charge on the proton is +1.60 \times 10^{-19} C, then positive charge crossing to the right per second is calculated as follows.

          I+ = 1.4 \times 10^{18} electrons \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} electrons/C

            I+ = 0.224 A

          I = l I+ l + l I- l

So,    I = 0.544 + 0.224

            = 0.768 A

Thus, we can conclude that the current in given hydrogen discharge tube is 0.768 A.
