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 plane travels 350 km south along a straight path with an average velocity of 125 km/h to the south. The plane has a 30 minute
faust18 [17]
Average Velocity = Total Displacement / Total time

1st part of journey,  350 km at velocity 125 km/h

Time = 350 / 125 = 2.8 hours.

2nd part of journey,  220 km at velocity 115 km/h

Time = 220 / 115 = 1.9 hours


Average Velocity = Total Displacement / Total time

                               = (350 + 220) / (2.8 + 1.9)

                                =   570 / 4.7  ≈ 121.3 km/hr

Average Velocity ≈ 121 km/hr due south.

Brut [27]

A sound wave leaves the loudspeaker. As it travels, it experiences a temporary increase in wavelength and then returns to its original wavelength.  The sound wave traveled through a helium balloon (helium is less dense than air could explain this change in wavelength

The pattern of disruption brought on by energy moving away from the sound source is known as a sound wave. Longitudinal waves are what makeup sound. This indicates that the direction of energy wave propagation and particle vibrational propagation are parallel. The atoms oscillate when they are put into vibration.

A high-pressure and a low-pressure zone are created in the medium as a result of this constant back and forth action. Compressions and rarefactions, respectively, are terms used to describe these high- and low-pressure zones. The sound waves go from one medium to another as a result of these regions being transmitted to the surrounding media.
