As an acapulco cliff diver drops to the water from a height of 42.0 m, his gravitational potential energy decreases by 27,500 j.

what is the diver's weight in newtons?

We know that potential energy is simply energy due to position which has the formula:

PE = mass * gravity * height

We know that mass * gravity is weight, therefore:

PE = weight * height

27500 J = weight * 42 m

<span>weight = 654.76 Newtons</span>

julsineya [31]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Atomic structure contains electrons, protons and neutrons.

Electron is very light compared to proton and neutrons.

Given that the mass of an electron is

A) equal to the mass of a proton

B) less than the mass of a neutron

C) greater than the mass of a proton

D) equal to the mass of a neutron

The correct answer is B which is less than the mass of the neurons.

A sound has a sound level of 30 dB. Its intensity is what multiple of the standard reference level for intensities?
arsen [322]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

1000th multiple of the standard reference level for intensities.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The sound intensity level (β), measured in decibels, of a sound with an intensity of I is defined as follows;

β = 10 log (I / I₀)       --------------------(i)

Where;

I₀ = reference intensity

Given from the question;

β = sound level = 30dB

Substitute this value into equation (i) as follows;

30 = 10 log (I / I₀)

Divide both sides by 3;

3 = log (I / I₀)

Take antilog of both sides;

10^(3) = (I / I₀)

1000 = I / I₀

Solve for I;

I = 1000I₀

Therefore the intensity of the sound is 1000 times the standard reference level for intensities (I₀)

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change for which of the following? Question 4 options: time position velocity displacemen
vovangra [49]

Acceleration can be defined as the rate of change in the velocity of an object. Option C is correct.

<h3>What is Acceleration?</h3>
  • It is defined as the rate of change in velocity.
  • It can also be defined as the rate of change in position in a particular direction.

a =  \dfrac {v-u}t\ \ \ \ \rmor}\\\\a = \dfrac {\Delta v }t

Where,

a - acceleration

\Delta v - change in velocity

t - time

Therefore, acceleration can be defined as the rate of change in the velocity of an object.

A uniform ladder 5.0 m long rests against a frictionless, vertical wall with its lower end 3.0 m from the wall. The ladder weigh
dem82 [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

Reaction force of the ground

R = mg

= 160 N

Maximum friction force possible

= μ x R

= μ x 160

= .4 x 160

= 64 N .

b )

 160 N will act at middle point . 740N will act at distance of 3 / 5 m from the wall ,

Taking moment about top point of ladder

160 x 1.5 + 740 x 3/5 + f x 4 = 900 x 3

240 + 444 + 4f = 2700

f = 504 N

c )

Let x be the required distance.  

Taking moment about top point of ladder

160 x 1.5 + 740 x 3 x / 5 + .4 x 900 x 4  = 900 x 3  ( .4 x 900 is the maximum friction possible )

240 + 444 x + 1440  = 2700

x = 2.3  m

so man can go upto 2.3 at which maximum friction acts .
