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

Two cars traveled equal distances in different amounts of time. Car A traveled the distance in 2 h, and Car B traveled the dista
lions [1.4K]
The answer is 60 mph.

The speed (v) is distance (d) per time (t): v = d/t

Car A:
v1 = ?
t1 = 2 h
d1 = ?
___
v1 = d1/t1
d1 = v1 * t1

Car B:
v2 = ?
t2 = 1.5 h
d2 = ?
___
v2 = d2/t2
d2 = v2 * t2

<span>Two cars traveled equal distances:
d1 = d2
</span>v1 * t1 = v2 * t2

<span>Car B traveled 15 mph faster than Car A:
v2 = v1 + 15


</span>v1 * t1 = v2 * t2
v2 = v1 + 15
________
v1 * 2 = (v1 + 15) * 1.5
2v1 = 1.5v1 + 22.5
2v1 - 1.5v1 = 22.5
0.5v1 = 22.5
v1 = 22.5/0.5
v1 = 45 mph


v2 = v1 + 15
v2 = 45 + 15
v2 = 60 mph

Write a brief essay describing how Newton’s Laws explain how a rocket in space can move objects
statuscvo [17]
The First Law describes how an object acts when no force is acting upon it. So, rockets stay still until a force is applied to move them. Likewise, once they're in motion, they won't stop until a force is applied. Newton's Second Law tells us that the more mass an object has, the more force is needed to move it. A larger rocket will need stronger forces (eg. more fuel) to make it accelerate. The space shuttles required seven pounds of fuel for every pound of payload they carry. Newton's Third Law states that "every action has an equal and opposite reaction". In a rocket, burning fuel creates a push on the front of the rocket pushing it forward.
