<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

makkiz [27]

<u>Answer: </u>

Cat has 2.02 seconds to right itself.

<u>Explanation: </u>

Initial height of cat from ground = 20 meter.

We have equation of motion , s= ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2, s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

In this the velocity of cat in vertical direction = 0 m/s, acceleration = acceleration due to gravity =  9.8 m/s^2, we need to calculate time when s = 20 meter.

Substituting

20=0*t+\frac{1}{2} *9.8*t^2\\ \\ t = 2.02 seconds

So, cat has 2.02 seconds to right itself.

What does a curved gradient line in a distance-time graph represent?
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

If the line is curved, the slope is changing, which also means the velocity is changing. In a distance-time graph, the gradient of the line is equal to the speed of the object. The more the gradient (and the steeper the line) the faster the object is moving.

Danny's mother believes her own fear of big dogs may have led to his phobia. This explanation is pointing to ______________.
matrenka [14]
<h2><u>Answer:</u></h2>

Cynophobia

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Cynophobia originates from the Greek words that signify "dog" (cyno) and "fear" (phobis). An individual who has cynophobia encounters a dread of mutts that is both unreasonable and tenacious. It's something beyond feeling of scaredness whether a dog is barking or an individual is around dogs.

An individual who has cynophobia encounters a dread of dogs that is both silly and constant. Explicit fears, similar to cynophobia, influence somewhere in the range of 7 to 9 percent of the populace. They're regular enough that they're formally perceived in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,
