Answer:
B) the change in momentum
Explanation:
Impulse is defined as the product between the force exerted on an object (F) and the contact time (
)

Using Newton's second law (F = ma), we can rewrite the force as product of mass (m) and acceleration (a):

However, the acceleration is the ratio between the change in velocity (
) and the contact time (
):
, so the previous equation becomes

And by simplifying
,

which corresponds to the change in momentum of the object.
Tom used more Force but over a shorter distance. Tom and Claudia both did the same amount of work.
Answer:
Time elapsed
Explanation:
Acceleration is a vector quantity. It is defined as:

where
v is the final velocity
u is the initial velocity
t is the time elapsed
Acceleration is measured in meters per second squared (m/s^2). It must be noticed that acceleration is a vector, so it also has a direction. In particular:
- when acceleration is negative, it means that the object is slowing down, so acceleration is in opposite direction to the velocity
- when acceleration is positive, it means that the object is speeding up, so acceleration is in the same direction as the velocity
Answer:
Part a)

Part b)

Explanation:
Part a)
Since the diver is moving under gravity
so here its acceleration due to gravity will be uniform throughout the motion
so here we will have

here we have




Part b)
at highest point of his motion the final speed will be zero
so we will have
