Answer: The velocity is 27.6m/s

Explanation: We know that they leap from a distance of 36m.

We know then that the initial height is equal to 36m, and this means that the initial potential energy is equal to:

U = mgh

where m is the mass, g is the gravity acceleration and h is the height.

Right in the point where the diver touches the water, we have h = 0, and this means that all the potential energy transformed into kinetic energy, that is written as:

K = (1/2)*m*v^2

And from here we can find the velocity in that point.

m*g*h = (1/2)*m*v^2

2*g*h = v^2

v = √(2*g*h)

and g = 9.8m/s^2, h = 39m

v = √(2*9.8m/s^2*39m) = 27.6m/s

<u>Answer:</u>

 Velocity Divers in Acapulco, Mexico when they enter the water from a height of 36m above the sea = 26.58 m/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

 We have equation of motion, v^2=u^2+2as, where u is the initial velocity, u is the final velocity, s is the displacement and a is the acceleration.

 Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s, Displacement = 36 m , acceleration = acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.8 m/s^2. We need to find final velocity.

  Substituting

      v^2=0^2+2*9.81*36\\ \\ v=26.58 m/s

  Velocity Divers in Acapulco, Mexico when they enter the water from a height of 36m above the sea = 26.58 m/s

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

An asteroid impact could affect the tilt of the Earth due to the force it applies onto the planet. This would change Earth's seasons due to the fact that Earth's tilt causes seasons.

what are the three types of solenoids, which one is the most common, and which one is used in pinball machines?​
amm1812

Answer:

The types of solenoids are: AC Laminated Solenoid , DC Solenoid , Linear Solenoid ,and Rotary Solenoid.

Explanation:

  • The main purpose of solenoid is to generate the controlled magnetic field that can be used in many forms.
  • The most common use of solenoid is done in the pinball game.
  • The Flipper solenoid that uses the two coil are used in the mechanism of pinball machines.
  • One coil of the solenoid is supplied with high electric current where as other one has the weak current flowing through it.

A hockey player hits a rubber puck from one side of the rink to the other. It has a mass of .170 kg, and is hit at an initial sp
Dimas [21]

By using third law of equation of motion, the final velocity V of the rubber puck is 8.5 m/s

Given that a hockey player hits a rubber puck from one side of the rink to the other. The parameters given are:

mass m =  0.170 kg

initial speed u = 6 m/s.

Distance covered s = 61 m

To calculate how fast the puck is moving when it hits the far wall means we are to calculate final speed V

To do this, let us first calculate the kinetic energy at which the ball move.

K.E = 1/2mU^{2}

K.E = 1/2 x 0.17 x 6^{2}

K.E = 3.06 J

The work done on the ball is equal to the kinetic energy. That is,

W = K.E

But work done = Force x distance

F x S = K.E

F x 61 = 3.06

F = 3.06/61

F = 0.05 N

From here, we can calculate the acceleration of the ball from Newton second law

F = ma

0.05 = 0.17a

a = 0.05/0.17

a = 0.3 m/s^{2}

To calculate the final velocity, let us use third equation of motion.

V^{2} = U^{2} + 2as

V^{2}  = 6^{2} + 2 x 0.3 x 61

V^{2} = 36 + 36

V^{2} = 72

V = \sqrt{72}

V = 8.485 m/s

Therefore, the puck is moving at the rate of 8.5 m/s (approximately) when it hits the far wall.

Atoms of elements at the top of a group on the periodic table are smaller than the atoms of elements at the bottom of the group.

Well formation of metallic bond depends on free electrons.smaal sized atoms hold their electrons more firmly as compared to large size atoms ,this z due to distance of outer shell electrons by nucleus..in this way no of free electrons affect strength of metallic bond..smaal sized atoms release less free electrons..
