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

Why do astronomers use the word on to describe angles on the sky rather than angles in the sky?
Sever21 [200]
<span>The use of the word on instead of the word in when referring to the angular distance between celestial objects comes about because all of the objects appear to be on the celestial sphere and at an indeterminable distance. While we know that objects are at different distances in the sky, their distance from Earth is irrelevant in determining the angular distance between the two objects as viewed from Earth.</span>

Calculate the molecular weight of Aluminium hydroxide​
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Al(OH)3 = 26.98 + [(16×3) + (1.01×3)] = 26.98 + 51.03 = 78.01 and the unit will be g/mol

<h3><em>Al(OH)3 = 78.01 g/mol</em></h3>

What is the half life-life of your 100 atoms of Carbon-14?
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Answer: It takes 5,730 years for half the carbon-14 to change to nitrogen; this is the half-life of carbon-14. After another 5,730 years only one-quarter of the original carbon-14 will remain

How do galaxies vary?
givi [52]

The universe has trillions of galaxies and counting. Astronomers give names to each galaxy base on its shape (e.i, Sombrero galaxy, Milkyway Galazy, ect,.).

Also, the size of the galaxy is taken into account and their color.

What is the relationship between the applied force of a hanging mass on a spring and the spring force of the spring?
zaharov [31]

Answer:

elastic force and weight are related to the acceleration of the System.

Explanation:

The relationship between these two forces can be found with Newton's second law.

        F_{e} - W = m a

        K x - m g = m a

We see that elastic force and weight are related to the acceleration of the System.

If a harmonic movement is desired, an extra force that increases the elastic force is applied, but to begin the movement this force is eliminated, in general , if the relationship between this external and elastic force is desired, the only requirement is that it be small for harmonic movement to occur
