Answer:

D

Explanation:

There is no friction to stop you from moving BC you are in space, however you have a larger mass than the ball, so it takes more force to get you up to the same speed as the baseball. You will move in the opposite direction of the ball because you exerted force on the ball in one direction and therefore yourself in the opposing direction.

A swimmer bounces straight up from a diving board and falls feet first into a pool. She starts with a velocity of 4.00 m/s, and
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

a = 1.152s

b = 0.817 m

c = 7.29m/s

Explanation: let the following

From the first equation of linear motion

V = u+at..........1

parameters be represented as :

t = Time taken

v = Final velocity

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

u = Initial velocity = 4 m/s

s = Displacement

V = 0

Substitute the values into equation 1

0 = 4-9.8(t)

-4 = -9.8t

t = 4/9.8

t = 0.408s

From : s = ut+1/2at^2.........2

S = 4×0.408+0.5(-9.8)×0.408^2

S= 1.632-4.9(0.166)

S = 1.632-0.815

S = 0.817m

Her highest height above the board is 0.817 m

Total height she would fall is 0.817+1.90 = 2.717 m

From equation 2

s = ut+1/2at^2

2.717 m = 0t+0.5(9.8)t^2

2.717 m = 0+4.9t^2

2.717 m = 4.9t^2

2.717/4.9 = t^2

0.554 =t^2

t =√0.554

t = 0.744s

Hence, her feet were in the air for 0.744+0.408seconds

= 1.152s

Also recall from equation 1

V= u+at

V = 0+9.8(0.744)

V = 7.29m/s

Hence, the velocity when she hits the water is 7.29m/s

Finally,

a = 1.152s

b = 0.817 m

c = 7.29m/s

Car A, moving in a straight line at a constant speed of 20. meters per second, is initially 200 meters behind car B, moving in t
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
First, let's express the movement of Car A and B in terms of their position over time (relative to car B)
For car A: y=20x-200   Car A moves 20 meters every second x, and starts 200 meters behind car B
For Car B: y= 15x      Car B moves 15 meters every second and starts at our basis point

Set the two equations equal to one another to find the time x at which they meet:
20x - 200 = 15x
200 = 5x 
x= 40
At time x=40 seconds, the cars meet. How far will Car A have traveled at this time? 
Car A moves 20 meters every second:
20 x 40 = 800 meters

A cyclist is travelling eastwards at a velocity
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

0.02 m/s^2

Explanation:

change in velocity= 4.5m/s - 2.3m/s = 2.2 m/s

acceleration= change in velocity/change in time

acceleration= 2.2/120= 0.0183

= 0.02 (to 2 significant figures)
