Alice and Tom dive from an overhang into the lake below. Tom simply drops straight down from the edge, but Alice takes a running

start and jumps with an initial horizontal velocity of 25 m/s. Neither person experiences any significant air resistance. Just as they reach the lake below.A) Alice reaches the surface the lake first. B) Tom of reaches the surface of the first. C) Alice and Tom will reach the surface of the lake at the same time. D) Information is not enough

Answer:c

Explanation:

Given

Alice launches with horizontal velocity u=25\ m/s

Tom simply drops straight down from the edge

Time taken by both the person is same as they have same initial vertical velocity i.e. zero so the time taken to reach the ground is zero.

Although Alice will travel more horizontal distance compared to Tom.

Thus option c is correct

Under what condition will kinetic friction slow a sliding object?
matrenka [14]

Explanation: Slowing Down (or Stopping) occurs when the force of kinetic friction is greater than that of the external force. This also follows Newton's first law of motion as there exists a net force on the object.

A proton with an initial speed of 600,000 m/s is brought to rest by an electric field. Part A Part complete Did the proton move
rodikova [14]

Answer: Part A the right sentence is: Because the proton is a positive charge and it slows down as it travels, it must be moving from a region of lower potential to a region of higher potential

Part B.  aproximatelly 98 times ΔV  V

Part C. the initial kinetic energy of the proton is 1.87 10^3 eV

Explanation: Part A. The field stops the proton so the lines of electric fild must be directed in opposite direction of its movement. This means that the proton moves to a higher potential. Part B The kinetic energy of the  is transformed  in electric potenctial for the proton.

Part C. Energy in J divide the charge of electron gives the energy  in eV.

2. An athlete of average size is hanging from the end of a 20 m long rope, which has a mass of 4 kg and is attached to a hook in
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

  t = 0.319 s

Explanation:

With the sudden movement of the athlete a pulse is formed that takes time to move along the rope, the speed of the rope is given by

             v = √T/λ

Linear density is

           λ = m / L

           λ = 4/20

           λ = 0.2 kg / m

The tension in the rope is equal to the athlete's weight, suppose it has a mass of m = 80 kg

           T = W = mg

           T = 80 9.8

           T = 784 N

The pulse rate is

          v = √(784 / 0.2)

          v = 62.6 m / s

The time it takes to reach the hook can be searched with kinematics

          v = x / t

          t = x / v

          t = 20 / 62.6

          t = 0.319 s
