Answer:

The data that we have is:

Initial height = 2m

Initial vertical speed: As the sister is only pushed, we can assume that we do not have initial speed in the vertical axis.

Then at the beginning, we only have potential energy, that (using the water as the zero in our axis) can be written as:

U = m*g*h

where m is the mass of your sister, g is the gravitational acceleration, and h is the initial height:

h = 2m

g = 9.8m/s^2

Now, when your sister is about to touch the water, all the potential energy has be transformed into kinetic energy:

K = (m/2)*v^2

Then we have, at that moment:

K = U

(m/2)*v^2 = m*g*h

We want to solve this for v, that is the velocity.

v = √(2*g*h) = √(2*9.8m/s^2*2m) = 6.26 m/s

So the speed at which your sister hits the water is 6.26 m/s

A barge floating in fresh water (rho = 1000 kg/m^3) is shaped like a hollow rectangular prism with base area A = 550 m^2 and hei
patriot [66]

Answer:

Explanation:

A )

When empty , H₀ length of barge is inside water .

volume of barge inside water = A x H₀

Weight of displaced water = AH₀ x ρ x g

Buoyant force = weight of displaced water = AH₀ ρg

B)

It should balance the weight of barge

Weight = buoyant force

Weight = AH₀ ρg

mass of barge = weight / g

weight / g = AH₀ ρ

= 550 x .55 x 1000

= 302500 kg
