(a) 0.40 s

First of all, let's find the initial speed at which Jordan jumps from the ground.

The maximum height is h = 1.35 m. We can use the following equation:

v^2-u^2=2gh

where

v = 0 is the velocity at the maximum height

u is the initial velocity

g=-9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

Solving for u,

u=\sqrt{-2gh}=\sqrt{-2(-9.8)(1.35)}=5.14 m/s

The time needed to reach the maximum height can now be found by using the equation

v=u+gt

Solving for t,

t=\frac{v-u}{g}=\frac{0-5.14}{-9.8}=0.52s

Now we can find the velocity at which Jordan reaches a point 20 cm below the maximum height, so at a height of

h' = 1.35 - 0.20 = 1.15 m

Using again the equation

v'^2-u^2=2gh'

we find

v'=\sqrt{u^2+2gh}=\sqrt{5.14^2+2(-9.8)(1.15)}=1.97 m/s

And the corresponding time is

t'=\frac{v'-u}{g}=\frac{1.97-5.14}{-9.8}=0.32s

So the time to go from h' to h is

\Delta t = t-t'=0.52-0.32=0.20 s

And since we have also to take into account the fall down (after Jordan reached the maximum height), which is symmetrical, we have to multiply this time by 2 to get the total time of permanence in the highest 20 cm of motion:

\Delta t=2\cdot 0.20 = 0.40 s

(b) 0.08 s

This part is easier since we need to calculate only the velocity at a height of h' = 0.20 m:

v'^2-u^2=2gh'

v'=\sqrt{u^2+2gh}=\sqrt{5.14^2+2(-9.8)(0.20)}=4.74 m/s

And the corresponding time is

t'=\frac{v'-u}{g}=\frac{4.74-5.14}{-9.8}=0.04s

So this is the time needed to go from h=0 to h=20 cm; again, we have to take into account the motion downwards, so we have to multiply this by 2:

\Delta t = 2\cdot 0.04 =0.08 s

What are used for manufacturing paper along with chemical
Airida [17]

Answer:

Dry-strength additives, or dry-strengthening agents, are chemicals that improve paper strength normal conditions. These improve the paper's compression strength, bursting strength, tensile breaking strength, and delamination resistance. Typical chemicals used include cationic starch and polyacrylamide derivatives.

Un avión tarda en llegar a su destino 12 horas. Si recorrió una distancia de 10.700 kilómetros. Calcular su velocidad y expesarl
elixir [45]

Given that,

Distance, d = 10700 km

Time taken by the airplane to complete the destination, t = 12 hours

We need to find the speed of the airplane. It is equal to the total distance covered divided by total time taken. So,

v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{10700\ km}{12\ h}\\\\v=891.66\ km/h

We know that,

1 km = 1000 m

1 h = 3600 s

So,

v=891.66\ km/h =\dfrac{891.66\times 1000\ m}{3600\ s}\\\\v=247.68\ m/s

So, the speed of the airplane is 891.66 km/h or 247.68 m/s.
