ddd [48]

Answer:

1626.4 N

Explanation:

Given that a 82 kg man, at rest, drops from a diving board 3.0 m above the surface of the water and comes to rest 0.55 s after reaching the water. What force does the water exert on him?

The parameters to be considered are:

Distance S = 3m

Time t = 0.55s

Since the man started from rest, initial velocity u = 0

Using second equation of motion

S = Ut + 1/2at^2

3 = 1/2 × a × 0.55^2

3 = 1/2 × a × 0.3025

a = 3/ 0.15125

a = 19.83 m/s^2

Force = mass × acceleration

Force = 82 × 19.83

Force = 1626.4 N

Therefore, the force that water exerted on him is 1626.4 N

zepelin [54]
The correct option is B.
Sunglasses are designed to block polarized light. If you are driving toward the sun,  most of the sun's glare will be coming to you horizontally, thus, the best sunglasses to wear is the one, that will block the horizontal glare and allow only the vertical glare to pass through.

What information do you think the temperatures of stars give us?
Paul [167]

Explanation:

One way of classifying stars is by their temperature .

or

Science strives to be able to describe how stars and planets form and evolve. This requires theories to describe the processes which include:

Star and planet formation

Star and planet composition

Stellar and solar system evolution

The nuclear processes happening inside stars

The scientific method means that all theories are put to the test. By measuring or calculating the temperature, age and composition of other planets and stars the theories can be tested. If observed values of these parameters are not predicted by theories, then the theories are wrong and need to be revised or replaced.

Assume that the position vector of A is r=i+j+k . Determine the moment about the origin O if the force F=(1)i+(0)j+(5)k . The mo
ddd [48]

Answer:

M₀ = 5i - 4j - k

Explanation:

Using the cross product method, the moment vector(M₀) of a force (F) is about a given point is equal to cross product of the vector A from the point (r) to anywhere on the line of action of the force itself. i.e

M₀ = r x F

From the question,

r = i + j + k

F = 1i + 0j +  5k

Therefore,

M₀ = (i + j + k) x (1i + 0j +  5k)

M₀ = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}i&j&k\\1&1&1\\1&0&5\end{array}\right]

M₀ = i(5 - 0) -j(5 - 1) + k(0 - 1)

M₀ = i(5) - j(4) + k(-1)

M₀ = 5i - 4j - k

Therefore, the moment about the origin O of the force F is

M₀ = 5i - 4j - k
