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 electromagnetic wave is traveling straight down toward the center of the Earth. At a certain moment in time the electric fiel
Anika [276]

Answer:

North

Explanation:

In an electromagnetic wave, the direction of the wave, the direction of the electric field and the direction of the magnetic field are all perpendicular to each other.

Therefore, we can  find the direction of the magnetic field by using the right hand rule. We have:

- Index finger: direction of motion of the wave --> toward the center of Earth

- middle finger: direction of the electric field --> west

- thumb: direction of the magnetic field --> north

So, the magnetic field points north.

What net force acting on a 14 KG wagon produces an acceleration of 1.5 MS^2?
valentina_108 [34]

21N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of wagon = 14kg

Acceleration = 1.5m/s²

Unknown:

Net force on wagon = ?

Solution:

Force is a pull or push on a body that causes a body to change its state. It is expressed as:  

                 Force = mass  x acceleration

  Force on wagon = 14 x 1.5 = 21N
