Answer:

a) Ep = 5886[J]; b) v = 14[m/s]; c)   W = 5886[J]; d) F = 1763.4[N]

Explanation:

a)

The potential energy can be found using the following expression, we will take the ground level as the reference point where the potential energy is equal to zero.

E_{p} =m*g*h\\where:\\m = mass = 60[kg]\\g = gravity = 9.81[m/s^2]\\h = elevation = 10 [m]\\E_{p}=60*9.81*10\\E_{p}=5886[J]

b)

Since energy is conserved, that is, potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy, the moment the harpsichord touches water, all potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy.

E_{p} = E_{k} \\5886 =0.5*m*v^{2} \\v = \sqrt{\frac{5886}{0.5*60} }\\v = 14[m/s]

c)

The work is equal to

W = 5886 [J]

d)

We need to use the following equation and find the deceleration of the diver at the moment when he stops his velocity is zero.

v_{f} ^{2}= v_{o} ^{2}-2*a*d\\where:\\d = 2.5[m]\\v_{f}=0\\v_{o} =14[m/s]\\Therefore\\a = \frac{14^{2} }{2*2.5} \\a = 39.2[m/s^2]

By performing a sum of forces equal to the product of mass by acceleration (newton's second law), we can find the force that acts to reduce the speed of the diver to zero.

m*g - F = m*a

F = m*a - m*g

F = (60*39.2) - (60*9.81)

F = 1763.4 [N]

Opposite electric charges will repel, and like charges will attract.
DochEvi [55]
As it stands now, that statement is false.

There are two ways to make the statement true:

#1).  Exchange the places of the words "Opposite" and "like".

#2).  Exchange the places of the words "repel" and "attract".

Either ONE of these changes will make the statement true.
Doing BOTH of these changes will leave it false.
