Answer:

1.53 g

Explanation:

Given,

Initial speed = 30 m/s

Final speed = 0 m/s

Period of stretch, t = 2 s

average deceleration = ?

we know

a = \dfrac{v-u}{t}

a = \dfrac{0-30}{2}

a = -15 m/s²

Deceleration of the jumper = 15 m/s²

Deceleration in terms of g

= \dfrac{15}{9.81}

= 1.53\ g

Hence, the deceleration of the jumper is equal to 1.53 g

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

3.5\:\mathrm{m/s^2}

Explanation:

Newton's 2nd law is given as \Sigma F = ma.

To find the acceleration in the horizontal direction, you need the horizontal component of the force being applied.

Using trigonometry to find the horizontal component of the force:

\cos 45^{\circ}=\frac{x}{5},\\\frac{\sqrt{2}}{{2}}=\frac{x}{5},\\x=\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}

Use this horizontal component of the force to solve for for the acceleration of the object:

\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}=1.0\cdot a,\\a=\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}\approx \boxed{3.5\:\mathrm{m/s^2}}

How does gay-lussac's law apply to everyday life?
vladimir2022 [97]
Gay-Lussac's Law shows the direct relationship between pressure and temperature for an ideal gas with constant volume. Mathematically it is
\frac{P_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{P_{2}}{T_{2}} 

This particular has a lot of application in our everyday life. In cooking, for example, we apply this concept when using a pressure cooker. We increase/decrease the temperature to meet the right amount of pressure.
 
In addition, knowing that pressure increases when temperature does can help you with road safety. Knowing that temperature affects heat directly, we must be careful in making sure that tires are not overheated or else they explode out of too much pressure inside.

Why the sun emits most of its energy in the form of visible light?
I am Lyosha [343]

Human eye could perceive this visible light and used it to look at the objects.

<u>Explanation: </u>

There are 3 forms of radiation emitted by the sun. They are Infrared radiation, Ultra Violet radiation as well as visible radiation.

Visible light is the type of light can perceive by the human eye and utilizes to see the objects.  

Since the sun is hotter (5800 K) than the earth, it emits mostly the radiation energy in the form of this visible light.
