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

A positive charge is placed at rest at the center of a region of space in which there is a uniform electric field. (A uniform fi
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

.D.It will decrease because the charge will move in the direction of the electric field

Explanation:

<em>which there is a uniform electric field. (A uniform field is one whose strength and direction are the same at all points within the region.) What happens to the electric potential energy of the positive charge, after the charge is released from rest in the uniform electric field?A. It will remain constant because the electric field is uniform.B.It will decrease because the charge will move in the opposite direction of the electric field.C.It will remain constant because the charge remains at rest.D.It will decrease because the charge will move in the direction of the electric field.E.It will increase because the charge will move in the direction of the electric field.</em>

solution

The potential energy decreases, converted to kinetic energy

The charge will feel a force in the direction of the electric field (F=Eq) and thus it will accelerate with

a constant acceleration. (Just like releasing an object above the earth's surface - constant acceleration,

at least until it hits something.)

tus te answer will be

.D.It will decrease because the charge will move in the direction of the electric field

HURRY Which change is an example of transforming potential energy to kinetic energy
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

C.  changing nuclear energy to radiant energy

Explanation:

Nuclear energy takes atoms in their potential state, split them (fission) or fuse them (fusion)  creating chain reactions of radiant energy.  Most nuclear electrical power plants use fission, radiant energy heats water making steam to spin turbines.

Or think of the atom bomb.  Definitely potential energy until the fuse starts detonation and chain reactions.  The radiant kinetic energy and shock waves were horrendous.

A 0.717kg block is attached to a spring with spring constant 19.32N/m. While the block is sitting at rest, a student hits it wit
hjlf

Answer:

15.38 m.

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of the block is equal to potential energy of spring at maximum compression

1/ 2 m V² = 1 /2 K X²

m is mass of block , V is its velocity , K is spring constant and  X is maximum compression or its amplitude.

X = V\times\sqrt{\frac{m}{K} }

Putting the values

x = 79.856\times\sqrt{\frac{.717}{19.32} }

= 15.38 m.
