<h2>Kinetic energy just before hitting the floor is 324.57 J</h2>

Explanation:

Weight of volleyball player = 650 N

That is

            Mass x Acceleration due to gravity = 650

            Mass x 9.81 = 650

            Mass = 66.26 kg

We also have equation of motion v² = u² + 2as

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s  

Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²  

Final velocity, v = ?

Displacement, s = 0.5 m

Substituting  

v² = u² + 2as

v² = 0² + 2 x 9.81 x 0.5

v = 3.13 m/s

Velocity with which he lands on ground is 3.13 m/s

We have kinetic energy = 0.5 x Mass x Velocity²

Substituting

          Kinetic energy = 0.5 x 66.26 x 3.13²

           Kinetic energy = 324.57 J

Kinetic energy just before hitting the floor is 324.57 J

What would be the answer for this and how?
Veronika [31]

Answer:

B. 6 cm

Explanation:

First, we calculate the spring constant of a single spring:

k = \frac{F}{\Delta x}\\

where,

k = spring constant of single spring = ?

F = Force Applied = 10 N

Δx = extension = 4 cm = 0.04 m

Therefore,

k = \frac{10\ N}{0.04\ m}\\k =  250\ N/m\\

Now, the equivalent resistance of two springs connected in parallel, as shown in the diagram, will be:

k_{eq} = k + k\\k_{eq} = 2k = 2(250\ N/m)\\k_{eq} = 500\ N/m\\

For a load of 30 N, applying Hooke's Law:

\Delta x = \frac{F}{k_{eq}}\\\\\Delta x = \frac{30\ N}{500\ N/m}\\\\\Delta x = 0.06\ m = 6\ cm\\

Hence, the correct option is:

<u>B. 6 cm</u>

Energy is transferred by the process of convection from the hot water at the bottom of the tank to the cooler water at the top.
iragen [17]
The transfer of energy means, in convention process, transport of matter. In this case, hot water has lower density than cool water. The water with less density ascends and leaves gaps that are occupied with cooler water "packages".

HELP PLEASE!!
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

m=41 kg

v=0,02 ms

R=2,1 m

F-?

a=v²/R

a=(0,02) ²/2,1=0,0002

F=m*a

F=41*0,0002=0,0082 H

F=0,0082 H
