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

Please HELP ME If the motion of an object changes, what must be true about the forces acting on that object?
atroni [7]

Answer:

If there is a net force acting on an object, the object will have an acceleration and the object's velocity will change. ... Newton's second law states that for a particular force, the acceleration of an object is proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

What are the comparisons and contrast of adaptation and natural selection? ASAP!!!!!!
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

Natural selection is a mechanism, or cause, of evolution.

Explanation:

Adaptations are physical or behavioral traits that make an organism better suited to its environment. Heritable variation comes from random mutations.
