Answer:

4.0 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the diver is the motion of a projectile: so we need to find the horizontal and the vertical component of the initial velocity.

Let's consider the horizontal motion first. This motion occurs with constant speed, so the distance covered in a time t is

d=v_x t

where here we have

d = 3.0 m is the horizontal distance covered

vx is the horizontal velocity

t = 1.3 s is the duration of the fall

Solving for vx,

v_x = \frac{d}{t}=\frac{3.0 m}{1.3 s}=2.3 m/s

Now let's consider the vertical motion: this is an accelerated motion with constant acceleration g=9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground. The vertical position at time t is given by

y(t) = h + v_y t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

where

h = 4.0 m is the initial height

vy is the initial vertical velocity

We know that at t = 1.3 s, the vertical position is zero: y = 0. Substituting these numbers, we can find vy

0=h+v_y t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2\\v_y = \frac{0.5gt^2-h}{t}=\frac{0.5(9.8 m/s^2)(1.3 s)^2-4.0 m}{1.3 s}=3.3 m/s

So now we can find the magnitude of the initial velocity:

v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}=\sqrt{(2.3 m/s)^2+(3.3 m/s)^2}=4.0 m/s

An ordinary flashlight battery has a potential difference of 1.2 V between its positive and negative terminals. How much work mu
Maru [420]

The work done to transport an electron from the positive to the negative terminal is 1.92×10⁻¹⁹ J.

Given:

Potential difference, V = 1.2 V

Charge on an electron, e = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

Calculation:

We know that the work done to transport an electron from the positive to the negative terminal is given as:

W.D = (Charge on electron)×(Potential difference)

       = e × V

       = (1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C)×(1.2 V)

       = 1.92 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

Therefore, the work done in bringing the charge from the positive terminal to the negative terminal is 1.92 × 10⁻¹⁹ J.

Physics is really confusing...is there anyone that can show it to me?
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

1.0×10³ N

Explanation:

μs is the static coefficient of friction.  That's the friction that acts on a stationary (non-moving) object when being pushed or pulled.

μk is the kinetic coefficient of friction.  That's the friction that acts on a moving object.

To budge the pig (while it's still stationary), we need to overcome the static friction.

F = N μs

For a non-moving object on level ground, the normal force N equals the weight.

F = mg μs

Given m = 130 kg and μs = 0.80:

F = (130 kg) (9.8 m/s²) (0.80)

F = 1019.2 N

Rounded to two significant figures, the force needed to budge the pig is 1.0×10³ N.
