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

Why is physical science important
Murrr4er [49]
"Traditionally, physical science courses are categorized into four areas: physics, chemistry, earth sciences, and space sciences. It is important to understand that the arbitrary divisions of specialized knowledge are integrated into a basic overview of the physical laws that govern our universe." - Cameron University

What do you think will happen to the potential energy of the ball if the mass of the ball remains the same and placed in a highe
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

Potential energy of the ball would increase

Explanation:

The formula for potential energy of an object is:

Potential Energy (object) = mass x gravity x height

In your question, the value for height is increased when the object (ball) is placed in a higher position. This creates a net positive change in the right-hand side of the formula and since the value of mass and gravity doesn't change because gravity is a constant (meaning it's always 9.8N/kg) and the mass is said to be kept the same, the ball's potential energy would increase.
