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

How does kinect energy affect the stopping distance of a vehicle traveling at 30 mph compared to the same vehicle traveling at 6
mote1985 [20]

If it is the same vehicle, then the 60mph vehicle has more kinetic energy since it is moving faster. Therefore, it requires more energy to stop, and if it is the same car with the same beak system, the braking distance of the 30mph car will be significantly shorter than the 60mph car.

Answer:

Inhibit the flow of electrons  

Explanation:

An electric current usually consists of electrons moving through a wire.

An insulator prevents the flow of an electric current, so it inhibits the flow of electrons.

Calculate the final velocity right after a 117 kg rugby player who is initially running at 7.45 m/s collides head‑on with a padd
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

v_f = 0.87 m/s

Explanation:

We are given;

F_avg = -17700 N (negative because it's backward)

m = 117 kg

Δt = 5.50 × 10^(−2) s

v_i = 7.45 m/s

Now, formula for impulse is given by;

I = F•Δt = - 17700 x 5.50 × 10^(−2) = - 973.5 kg.m/s

From impulse momentum theory, we know that;

Change in momentum of particle is equal to impulse.

Thus,

Δp = I = m•v_f - m•v_i

Thus,

-973.5= 117(v_f - 7.45)

Thus,

-973.5/117 = (v_f - 7.45)

-8.3205 + 7.45 = v_f

v_f = - 0.87 m/s

We'll take absolute value as;

v_f = 0.87 m/s
