A springboard diver intending to do a somersault brings her knees and arms closer to her body during the dive. What effect does

this have?
It makes her fall more slowly.

It decreases her moment of inertia.

It decreases her angular velocity.

It increases her angular momentum.

During the diving when a diver jumps off from platform he brings her knees and arms closer to the body

This is because when diver is in air he don't have any torque about his center of mass which shows that angular momentum of his body will remain constant during his motion in air

Now we can say product of his moment of inertia and his angular speed will remain constant always

So here if we decrease the moment of inertia of the body during our motion then angular speed will increase so that product will remain constant

and this is what the diver use during his diving

so correct answer will be

<u><em>It decreases her moment of inertia.</em></u>

Nata [24]

Answer:

a) 69.3 m/s

b) 18.84 s

Explanation:

Let the initial velocity = u

The vertical and horizontal components of the velocity is given by uᵧ and uₓ respectively

uᵧ = u sin 40° = 0.6428 u

uₓ = u cos 40° = 0.766 u

We're given that the horizontal distance travelled by the projectile rock (Range) = 1 km = 1000 m

The range of a projectile motion is given as

R = uₓt

where t = total time of flight

1000 = 0.766 ut

ut = 1305.5

The vertical distance travelled by the projectile rocks,

y = uᵧ t - (1/2)gt²

y = - 900 m (900 m below the crater's level)

-900 = 0.6428 ut - 4.9t²

Recall, ut = 1305.5

-900 = 0.6428(1305.5) - 4.9 t²

4.9t² = 839.1754 + 900

4.9t² = 1739.1754

t = 18.84 s

Recall again, ut = 1305.5

u = 1305.5/18.84 = 69.3 m/s

The general kinematic equations of motion for vertical displacement can also be simplified significantly. Write the simplified
Setler [38]

Answer:

Δy = v₀t + (1/2)gt²

where g = 9.81 m/s if the body is moving downwards and g = -9.81 m/s if the body is moving upwards

Explanation:

The general kinematic equation for horizontal displacement is gives as:

Δx = v₀t + (1/2)at²

Where

Δx = change in the x direction

v₀ = initial velocity

t = time

a = acceleration

If the body is vertically instead of horizontally, Δx is changed to Δy

Δy = v₀t + (1/2)at²

For a vertical moving body, the acceleration it experiences is the gravitational accerelation of the earth 'g'

So the equation becomes:

Δy = v₀t + (1/2)gt²

where g = 9.81 m/s if the body is moving downwards and g = -9.81 m/s if the body is moving upwards

This type of system is an example of open system because the vapors leave the system and goes into the atmosphere.

<h3>What is open system?</h3>

An open system is a type of system that has external interactions which means energy, or material transfers into or out of the system.

So we can conclude that this type of system is an example of open system because the vapors leave the system and goes into the atmosphere.

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

<em>18808.7 m/s^2</em>

Explanation:

Given

Length of the pendulum L = 1.44 m

Number of complete cycles of oscillation n = 1.10 x 10^2

total time of oscillation t = 2.00 x 10^2 s

The period of the T = n/t

T = (1.10 x 10^2)/(2.00 x 10^2) = 0.55 ^-s

The period of a pendulum is gotten as

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g} }

where g is the acceleration due to gravity

substituting values, we have

0.55 = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{1.44}{g} }

0.0875 = \sqrt{\frac{1.44}{g} }

squaring both sides of the equation, we have

7.656 x 10^-3 = 144/g

g = 144/(7.656 x 10^-3) = <em>18808.7 m/s^2</em>

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

748 treats.

Explanation:

If the trainer gives out 34 treats and gave them out for 22 shows, then to find the total you need to multiply 34 by 22, or (a longer but more simple way) add 34, 22 times.
