A swimmer bounces straight up from a diving board and falls feet first into a pool. She starts with a velocity of 3.00 m/s, and

her takeoff point is 1.80 m above the pool.(a) How long are her feet in the air?(b) What is the highest point above the board her feet reach? (c) What is her velocity when her feet hit the water?

Answer:

A) 0.9844 s

B) x2 = 0.4587 m

C) v = 6.657 m/s

Explanation:

We are given;

Height of take off point above pool; x1 = 1.8 m

Initial take off velocity; u = 3 m/s

Final velocity at highest point before free fall; v = 0 m/s

B) To find the highest point above the board her feet reaches means the distance from take off to the top of the motion just before free fall.

Thus, we will be using equation of motion and we have;

v² = u² + 2gs

Now, let s = x2 which will be the distance between take off and the top before free fall.

So;

v² = u² + 2g(x2)

Now,since the motion is against gravity, g will be negative.

Thus;

v² = u² + 2(-9.81)(x2)

Plugging in the relevant values to give;

0² = 3² - (19.62x2)

19.62(x2) = 9

x2 = 9/19.62

x2 = 0.4587 m

A) We want to find how long her feet is in air.. It means we want to find out the time to get to a distance of x1 and also the time to achieve the distance (x1 + x2) on free-fall.

Thus, using equation of motion;

v = u + gt

Again, g = -9.81

Thus;

0 = 3 - 9.81t1

9.81t1 = 3

t1 = 3/9.81

t1 = 0.3058 s

Now, for the time taken to achieve the distance (x1 + x2) on free-fall, we will use the formula;

s = ut + ½gt²

Where s = (x1 + x2) = 1.8 + 0.4587 = 2.2587 m

And now, u = 0 m/s because the start of the free fall is from maximum height with velocity of 0 m/s. Again, g = - 9.81 m/s²

Thus;

2.2587 = 0 - ½(-9.81)(t2)²

2.2587 = 4.905(t2)²

(t2)² = 2.2587/4.905

(t2)² = 0.4605

t2 = √0.4605

t2 = 0.6786 s

Thus, total time of feet in air = t1 + t2 = 0.3058 + 0.6786 = 0.9844 s

C) Velocity when feet hit the water would be given by;

v = u + gt

Where u = 0 m/s and t = t2 = 0.6786

Since it's in direction of gravity, g = 9.81 m/s

v = 0 + (0.6786 × 9.81)

v = 6.657 m/s

a car initially at rest can accelerate at 7 m/s^2 how long will it take the car to reach 60 m/s and how far will it travel durin
Alex787 [66]

1. The time taken for the car to reach a velocity of 60 m/s is 8.57 s

2. The distance travelled during the time is 257.14 m

<h3>What is acceleration? </h3>

The acceleration of an object is defined as the rate of change of velocity which time. It is expressed as

a = (v – u) / t

Where

  • a is the acceleration
  • v is the final velocity
  • u is the initial velocity
  • t is the time

1. How to determine the time

  • Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s
  • Acceleration (a) = 7 m/s²
  • Final velocity (v) = 60 m/s
  • Time (t) =?

a = (v – u) / t

Thus,

t = (v – u) / a

t = (60 – 0) / 7

t = 8.57 s

2. How to determine the distance

  • Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s
  • Acceleration (a) = 7 m/s²
  • Final velocity (v) = 60 m/s
  • Distance (s) = ?

v² = u² + 2as

60² = 0² + (2 × 7 × s)

3600 = 0 + 14s

3600 = 14s

Divide both sides by 14

s = 3600 / 14

s = 257.14 m

What is the sound intensity level in decibels? Use the usual reference level of I0 = 1.0×10−12 W/m2.
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

L = 130 decibels

Explanation:

The computation of the sound intensity level in decibels is shown below:

According to the question, data provided is as follows

I = sound intensity = 10 W/m^2

I0 = reference level = 1 \times 10-12 W/m^2

Now

Intensity level ( or Loudness)is

L = log10 \frac{I}{10}

L = log10 \frac{10}{1\times 10^{-12}}

L = log10 \times 1013

= 13 \times 1 ( log10(10) = 1)

Therefore  

L = 13 bel

And as we know that

1 bel = 10 decibels

So,

The  Sound intensity level is

L = 130 decibels
