The "weight" is the name we give to the force of gravity on the object. They're the same thing.

A diver leaves the end of a 4.0 m high diving board and strikes the water 1.3s later, 3.0m beyond the end of the board. Consider

shutvik [7]

Answer:

4.0 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the diver is the motion of a projectile: so we need to find the horizontal and the vertical component of the initial velocity.

Let's consider the horizontal motion first. This motion occurs with constant speed, so the distance covered in a time t is

$d=v_x t$

where here we have

d = 3.0 m is the horizontal distance covered

vx is the horizontal velocity

t = 1.3 s is the duration of the fall

Solving for vx,

$v_x = \frac{d}{t}=\frac{3.0 m}{1.3 s}=2.3 m/s$

Now let's consider the vertical motion: this is an accelerated motion with constant acceleration g=9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground. The vertical position at time t is given by

$y(t) = h + v_y t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

where

h = 4.0 m is the initial height

vy is the initial vertical velocity

We know that at t = 1.3 s, the vertical position is zero: y = 0. Substituting these numbers, we can find vy

$0=h+v_y t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2\\v_y = \frac{0.5gt^2-h}{t}=\frac{0.5(9.8 m/s^2)(1.3 s)^2-4.0 m}{1.3 s}=3.3 m/s$

So now we can find the magnitude of the initial velocity:

$v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}=\sqrt{(2.3 m/s)^2+(3.3 m/s)^2}=4.0 m/s$

Most people can detect frequencies as high as 20 000 Hz. Assuming the speed of sound in air is 345 m/s, determine the wavelength

Gekata [30.6K]

Wavelength = speed / frequency

(345 m/s) / (20,000 Hz) = 0.017 m

Answer: A river delta is a landform created by deposition of sediment that is carried by a river as the flow leaves its mouth and enters slower-moving or stagnant water. This occurs when a river enters an ocean, sea, estuary, lake, reservoir, or (more rarely) another river that cannot carry away the supplied sediment. The size and shape of a delta is controlled by the balance between watershed processes that supply sediment.

An engine flywheel initially rotates counterclockwise at 6.77 rotations/s. Then, during 23.9 s, its rotation rate changes to 3.5

olganol [36]

Answer:

-2.70 rad/s²

Explanation:

Given that

ω1 = initial angular velocity of the flywheel, which is 6.77 rev/s

If we convert it to rad/s, we have

(6.77 x 2π) rad/s = 13.54π rad/s

ω2 = final angular velocity of the flywheel = -3.51 rev/s,

On converting to rad/s also, we have

(-3.51 x 2π) rad/s = 7.02π rad/s

α = average angular acceleration of the flywheel = ?

Δt = elapsed time = 23.9 s

Now, using the formula, α = (ω2 - ω1)/Δt. On substituting, we have

α = (-7.02π rad/s - 13.54π rad/s)/23.9 s

α = -20.56π rad/s / 23.9 s

α = -64.59 rad/s / 23.9 s

α = -2.70 rad/s²

Therefore, the average angular acceleration of the flywheel is -2.70 rad/s²
