His average speed all the way is

                   (50 meters) / (5 sec)  =  10 m/s .

But, if the acceleration is uniform all the way down, then

            Average speed  =  (1/2) (start speed + end speed)

Start speed  =  0.
So
             Average speed  =  (1/2) (0 + end speed)

                                     =  (1/2) of end speed .

                   10 m/s        = (1/2) of end speed

               End speed (at the bottom)  =  20 m/s .

Magnitude of acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

                                      =     (20 m/s)            /    (5 sec)

                                       =                4 m/s²  .

If you place a paper clip very close to a magnet, the paper clip
Alik [6]
The answer is “D. all of the above”!

Metal from the paper clip is attracted to the magnet, so it will naturally move toward and stick to the magnet. This will cause the paper clip to temporarily become a magnet for other metals. I hope this helped!

a diver of mass 101 kg jumps upward off a diving board into water. Diving board is 6m above water. Diver has a speed of 1.2m/s.
8090 [49]
When the diver reaches maximum height, the upward velocity will be zero.

We shall use the formula
v^2 = u^2 - 2gh
where 
v = 0 (velocity at maximum height)
u = 1.2 m/s, intial upward velocity
g = -9.8 m/s^2, gravitational acceleration (downward)
h = maximum height attained above the diving board.

Therefore
0 = 1.2^2 - 2*9.8*h
h = 1.2^2/(2*9.8) = 0.0735 m

Answer: 0.074 m (nearest thousandth)
