You took a running leap off a high diving platform. You were running at 3.1 m/s and hit the water 2.4 seconds later. How high wa

s the platform, and how far from the edge of the platform did you hit the water? Assume your initial velocity is horizontal. Ignore air resistance.

The distance you free-fall from rest is  D = (1/2) (g) (T²) <== memorize this

Height of the platform = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (2.4 sec)²

Height = (4.9 m/s²) (5.76 s²)

Height = (4.9/5.76) meters

Height = 28.2 meters (a VERY high platform ... about 93 ft off the water !)

Without air-resistance, your horizontal speed doesn't change.  It's constant.  Traveling 3.1 m/s for 2.4 sec, you cover (3.1 m/s x 2/4 s) = 7.4 m horizontally.

An atom undergoes nuclear decay, but its atomic number is not changed.
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

A. Gamma decay

Explanation:

A form of nuclear decay in which the atomic number is unchanged is a gamma decay.

The atom has undergone a gamma decay.

In a gamma decay, no changes occur to the mass and atomic number of the substance.

  • Gamma rays have zero atomic and mass numbers.
  • When they cause decay, they cause no change to the mass and atomic numbers.
  • They simply produce gamma rays during such reactions and these rays are very energetic.

What force is necessary to accelerate a 2500 kg care from rest to 20 m/s over 10 seconds?
EleoNora [17]
Force = mass x acceleration
force = 2500kg x (20m/s / 10m/s)
force = 2500kg x 2m/s^2
force = 5000kg m/s^2 = 5kN

i hope this is right (^^)

A sinusoidal voltage is given by the expression ????(????)=20cos(5π×103 ????+60°) V. Determine its (a) frequency in hertz, (b) p
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

<em>There are some placeholders in the expression, but they can be safely assumed</em>

Answer:

(a) f=1617.9\ Hz

(b) T=0.618\ ms

(c) A=20 \ Volts

(d) \varphi=60^o

Explanation:

<u>Sinusoidal Waves </u>

An oscillating wave can be expressed as a sinusoidal function as follows

V(t)&=A\cdot \sin(2\pi ft+\varphi )

Where

A=Amplitude

f=frequency

\varphi=Phase\  angle

The voltage of the question is the sinusoid expression  

V(t)=20cos(5\pi\times 103t+60^o)

(a) By comparing with the general formula we have

f=5\pi\times 103=1617.9\ Hz

\boxed{f=1617.9\ Hz}

(b) The period is the reciprocal of the frequency:

\displaystyle T=\frac{1}{f}

\displaystyle T=\frac{1}{1617.9\ Hz}=0.000618\ sec

Converting to milliseconds

\boxed{T=0.618\ ms}

(c) The amplitude is

\boxed{A=20 \ Volts}

(d) Phase angle:

\boxed{\varphi=60^o}

Friends Burt and Ernie stand at opposite ends of a uniform log that is floating in a lake. The log is 3.0 m long and has mass 20
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

The distance the log has moved by the time Ernie reaches Bur is 1.33 m.

Explanation:

give information:

The log is 3.0 m long and has mass 20.0 kg.

Burt has mass 30.0 kg; Ernie has mass 40.0 kg

Ernie has mass 40.0 kg.

to find the distance, first, we have to calculate the center of mass

X = ∑ m x /∑m

   = (20 x (3/2)) + (30 x 0) + (40 x 3)/ (20+30+40)

   = 150/90

   = 5/3

when Ernie walk, the center of the mass is

X = (70 x 0) + (20 x (3/2))/(70 + 20)

  = 30/90

  = 1/3

the distance of log moved = 5/3 - 4/3 = 1.33 m
