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.

Jack travelled 360 km at an average speed of 80 km/h. Elaine
diamong [38]

Answer:

Average speed of Elain = 60 km/h

Explanation:

Total Distance covered by Jack = 360km

Average Speed of Jack = 80 km/h

Time taken by Jack to complete his journey = Distance / Average speed = 360 km / 80 km/h

Time taken by Jack to complete his journey = 4.5 hours

As it is given the both Jack and Elain travelled the same amount of distance:

Total distance travelled by Elain = 360 km

It is given that Elain took 1.5 hourse more than Jack to cover the distance, so Time taken by Elain to cover the distance is = 4.5 hours + 1.5 hours = 6 hours

Average speed of Elain = Distance/ time = 360 km / 6 hours

Average speed of Elain = 60 km/h
