On a hot summer day in the state of Washington while kayaking, I saw several swimmers jump from a railroad bridge into the Snoho

mish River below. The swimmers stepped off the bridge, and I estimated that they hit the water 2.00 s later. A)How high was the bridge?
B)How fast were the swimmers moving when they hit the water?

C)What would the swimmer's drop time be if the bridge were twice as high?

Answer: part a: 19.62m

part b: 19.62 m/s

part a: 2.83 secs

Explanation:If the air resistance is ignored then the swimmer experience free fall under gravity hence

u=0

a=9.81 m/s2

t=2 secs

s=ut+0.5at^2

s=h

h=0*2+0.5*9.81*2^2\\h=19.62 meters

Part b

v=u+at\\v=0+9.81*2\\v=19.62m/s

Part c

now we have h=2*19.62=39.24

39.24=0+0.5*9.81*t^2\\t^2=8\\t=2.83 secs

zimovet [89]
The more you mix salt with water the more the salt will dissolve
The act of dissolving in chemistry describes a physical change such as change in shape or state. Its important to remember that physical change does not change the chemical state.

The sum of the kinetic and potential energies of a system of objects is conserved: Group of answer choices only when no external
uysha [10]

The sum of the kinetic and potential energies of a system of objects is conserved only when no external force acts on the objects.

<h3>Conservation of mechanical energy</h3>

The principle of conservation of mechanical energy states that the total mechanical energy of an isolated system (absence of external force) is always constant.

M.A = P.E + K.E

where;

P.E is potential energy

K.E is kinetic energy

Thus, the sum of the kinetic and potential energies of a system of objects is conserved only when no external force acts on the objects.

All Physicsts over here plz help in these questions!!!!!!!!!
mrs_skeptik [129]
Hello!

First one we can use that PE=mgh so we have

4.37*10^5J/(9.12*10^3kg*9.80m/s^2)= 4.89m

Second one we can use Newton’s Second Law
F=ma and in this case F=mg so we have

g= 3.28*10^-2N/6*10^-3kg = 5.47m/s^2

Hope this helps. Any questions please ask. Thank you.
