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

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

# of Snickers bars 2

Explanation:

Power output= 0.30 HP

=0.3*746

= 0.30 HP (746 W=1.00 HP)

= 224 W

time required 2 h 49 m = 10140 seconds

Since power is work divided by time, then work is:

Work done by the jet = P*t

= 224 *(10140)

= 2.3 MJ (2.3 x 10^{6} J)

Converting MJ to Cal

2.3 MJ=549 Cal

# of Snickers bars = 549 Cal / 280 Cal

= 2.0 bars (rounded from 1.96)

A roller coaster speeds up with constant acceleration for 2.3 s until it reaches a velocity of 35 m/s. During this time, the rol
Arada [10]

The initial velocity is 0.65 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the roller coaster is a uniformly accelerated motion, so we can solve the problem by using the following suvat equation:

s=(\frac{u+v}{2})t

where

s is the displacement

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

t is the time

For the roller coaster in this problem:

v = 35 m/s

t = 2.3 s

s = 41 m

Solving the equation for u, we find the initial velocity:

u=\frac{2s}{t}-v=\frac{2(41)}{2.3}-35=0.65 m/s
