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 stream moving with a speed of 7.1 m/s reaches a point where the cross-sectional area of the stream decreases to one half of th
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

14.2 m/s

Explanation:

Given data:

Speed of the stream, v₁ = 7.1 m/s

let the cross section area at initial point be A₁

now area at the second point, A₂ = (1/2)A₁ = 0.5A₁

now, from the continuity equation, we have

A₁v₁ = A₂v₂

where, v₂ is the velocity at the narrowed portion

thus, on substituting the values, we get

A₁ × 7.1 = 0.5A₁ × v₂

or

v₂ = 14.2 m/s

2200 kg semi truck driving down the highway has lost control. The truck rolls across the median and into oncoming traffic. The t
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

The semi truck travels at an initial speed of 69.545 meters per second downwards.

Explanation:

In this exercise we see a case of an entirely inellastic collision between the semi truck and the car, which can be described by the following equation derived from Principle of Linear Momentum Conservation: (We assume that velocity oriented northwards is positive)

m_{S}\cdot v_{S}+m_{C}\cdot v_{C} = (m_{S}+m_{C})\cdot v (1)

Where:

m_{S}, m_{C} - Masses of the semi truck and the car, measured in kilograms.

v_{S}, v_{C} - Initial velocities of the semi truck and the car, measured in meters per second.

v - Final speed of the system after collision, measured in meters per second.

If we know that m_{S} = 2200\,kg, m_{C} = 2000\,kg, v_{C} = 45\,\frac{m}{s} and v = -15\,\frac{m}{s}, then the initial velocity of the semi truck is:

m_{S}\cdot v_{S} = (m_{S}+m_{C})\cdot v -m_{C}\cdot v_{C}

v_{S} = \frac{(m_{S}+m_{C})\cdot v - m_{C}\cdot v_{C}}{m_{S}}

v_{S} = \left(1+\frac{m_{C}}{m_{S}} \right)\cdot v - \frac{m_{C}}{m_{S}} \cdot v_{C}

v_{S} = v +\frac{m_{C}}{m_{S}}\cdot (v-v_{C})

v_{S} = -15\,\frac{m}{s}+\left(\frac{2000\,kg}{2200\,kg} \right) \cdot \left(-15\,\frac{m}{s}-45\,\frac{m}{s}  \right)

v_{S} = -69.545\,\frac{m}{s}  

The semi truck travels at an initial speed of 69.545 meters per second downwards.

The picture shows it has a real life something to display conservation of energy  with kinetic energy and potential energy. 


Five sentences are for potential and kinetic energy. Potential energy is to energy an object when it stores. Kinetic energy is something to motion. When the potential energy is slows down the potential energy it might be increases. As from the object when the speeds up and it is decreases to potential energy.

Kinetic energy is to calculated by KE= mass×velocity²/2 as a fraction.

Potential energy is to calculated by PE= mass×g×height.

And the another picture it has a <span>energy, kinetic energy, mechanical energy, conservation of energy.
