Using the equation v(avg)=distance/time 
and the equation v=v(original)+a(t)
solve for acceleration
2600=0+a(12)
a=216.66666 m/s^2

Then, you use the equation
v^2=v(original)+2a*(change in x)
2600^2=2(216.666666)*change in x
6760000/2/216.666666 = 15600 meters which is the length of the race

Then using v(avg)=x/t
15600/12= 1300 m/s

An 89 kg man drops from rest on a diving board −3.1 m above the surface of the water and comes to rest 0.5 s after reaching the
OLga [1]

To solve this problem we will use the linear motion kinematic equations, for which the change of speed squared with the acceleration and the change of position. The acceleration in this case will be the same given by gravity, so our values would be given as,

m= 89 kg\\x = 3.1 m\\t = 0.5s\\a = g = 9.8m/s^2

Through the aforementioned formula we will have to

v_f^2-v_i^2 = 2ax

The particulate part of the rest, so the final speed would be

v_f^2 = 2gx

v_f=\sqrt{2(9.8)(3.1)}

v_f = 7.79m/s

Now from Newton's second law we know that

F = ma

Here,

m = mass

a = acceleration, which can also be written as a function of velocity and time, then

F = m\frac{dv}{dt}

Replacing we have that,

F = (89)\frac{7.79}{0.5}

F = 1386.62N

Therefore the force that the water exert on the man is 1386.62

A block of wood is 4 cm wide, 5 cm long, and 10 cm high. It weighs 100 grams. Calculate its volume. Calculate its density. Will
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

V=200cm^3\\\\\rho =0.500g/cm^3

It will float.

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, given the width, length and height, we can compute the volume as follows:

V=W*L*H\\\\V=4cm*5cm*10cm\\\\V=200cm^3

Moreover, since the density is computed via the division of the mass by the volume:

\rho =\frac{m}{V}

We obtain:

\rho =\frac{100g}{200cm^3} \\\\\rho =0.500g/cm^3

In such a way, since the solid has a lower density than the water, we infer it will float.

Best regards.

Tasting and smelling both involve the ability to sense chemicals. true or false
lara31 [8.8K]
TRUE.
Taste and smell senses are separate senses with their own receptor organs yet they are intimately entwined. Tastants, chemicals in foods are detected by taste buds which consist of special sensory cells.. When stimulated, these cells send signals to specific areas of the brain which then makes us conscious of the perception of taste. Also specialized cells in the nose pick up odorants, airborne odor molecules. Odorants stimulate receptor proteins found on hairlike cilia at the tips of the sensory cells, a process that initiates a neural response.
