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.

How much energy is contained in matter what the mass of 1 gram (0.001 kilogram)
kaheart [24]

Classically and Newtonianly, it's the sum of the chemical energy if any,
the electrical energy if any, the thermal energy if any, and the mechanical
energy consisting of potential and kinetic energy if any.

The mechanical energy, consisting of potential and kinetic energy if any, is

           0.001 x [ (acceleration of gravity x height) +  (1/2) (speed)² ] .

But I've got a sneaky hunch that you're not talking about any of these.
You want to know how much [ <em><u>mc</u>² </em>] there is in 1 gram of mass.  No prob.

           E = m c² = (0.001) x (3 x 10⁸)² = <em>9 x 10¹³ joules</em>

That's the energy that a 1,000-watt toaster uses
in  <em>2,852 years</em>  of continuous toasting.

5. If the average velocity of a duck is zero in a given
Ronch [10]
If the average velocity of the duck is zero, it means that the duck's location at the end of the time interval was the same as at the beginning of the interval, but says nothing about the duck's motion during that time.
For instance, the duck could have waddled around in a circle 20 times; as long as it wound up at the starting point, the displacement and average velocity is zero.

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

1s

Explanation:

The time going up equals the time going down.  So if the total time was 2s, the time rising was half that, or 1s.
