A diver having mass m climbs up the diving board.
We know that Gravitational potential energy is given as <span>P<span>EG</span>=mgΔh</span>

What changes is his Gravitational potential energy due to change of height <span>Δh</span> with reference to the ground/water level.
While standing on the diving board his velocity is zero. As such kinetic energy is also zero.

Once he jumps off the springboard we see he gets additional energy from the springboard and falls down under action of gravity g. Due to decrease of height above the ground level Gravitational potential energy decreases and gets converted in to his kinetic energy. <span>1/2m<span>v2</span></span>.

While in air he encounters air resistance. Some of his energy is spent in overcoming this resistance. Gets converted in to kinetic and thermal energy of surrounding air and his body.

Once diver reaches the water, we see water splashing and hear noise of splash. Thereafter the diver comes to rest. Now his potential energy becomes zero. And converted kinetic energy has been converted in to kinetic energy, heat energy and sound energy of water.

As such energy transformation equation looks like

<span><span>Gravitational PE+Elastic PE of springboard</span><span>→Kinetic energy of air and water+Sound energy of splash+thermal energy</span></span>

babunello [35]

Answer:

he maximum frequency occurs when the denominator is minimum

 f’= f₀  \frac{343}{343 + v_s}

Explanation:

This is a doppler effect exercise, where the sound source is moving

           f = fo \frac{v}{v-v)s}      when the source moves towards the observer

           f ’=f_o  \frac{v}{v+v_{sy}}  Alexandrian source of the observer

the maximum frequency occurs when the denominator is minimum, for both it is the point of maximum approach of the two objects

          f’= f₀  \frac{343}{343 + v_s}

A basketball player does 2.43 x 105 J of work during her time in the game, and evaporates 0,1 '10 kg of water. Assuming a latent
olchik [2.2K]

The change in the player's internal energy is -491.6 kJ. The number of nutritional calories is -117.44 kCal

For this process to take place, some of the basketball player's perspiration must escape from the skin. This is because sweating relies on a physical phenomenon known as the heat of vaporization.

The heat of vaporization refers to the amount of heat required to convert 1g of a liquid into a vapor without causing the liquid's temperature to increase.

From the given information,

  • the work done on the basketball is dW = 2.43 × 10⁵ J

The amount of heat loss is represented by dQ.

where;

  • dQ = -mL

∴

Using the first law of thermodynamics:b

dU = dQ - dW

dU = -mL - dW

dU = -(0.110 kg × 2.26 × 10⁶ J/kg - 2.43 × 10⁵ J)

dU = -491.6 × 10³ J

dU = -491.6 kJ

The number of nutritional calories the player has converted to work and heat can be determined by using the relation:

\mathbf{dU = -491.6 \ kJ \times (\dfrac{1 \ cal}{ 4.186 \ J})}

dU = -117.44 kcal

An astronaut drops a rock from the top of a crater on the moon. When the rock is halfway down to the bottom of the crater, its s
Alexxx [7]

Answer: vf1/vf2= 1/ sqrt(2)

Explanation :on the moon no drag force so we have only the  force of gravity. aceleration is g(moon)= 1.62m/s2.the rest is basic kinematics

if the rock travels H to the bottom we can calculate velocity:

vo=0m/s (drops the rock)  , yo=0

vf*vf= vo*vo+2g(y-yo)

when the rock is halfway  y = H/2 so:

vf1*vf1=2*g*H/2 so vf1 = sqrt(gH)

when the rock reach the bottom y=H so:

vf2*vf2=2*g*H so vf2 = sqrt(2gH)

so vf1/vf2= 1/ sqrt(2)

good luck from colombia

What is the level of incidence
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

The incidence rate is typically expressed as the number of cases per person-year of observation. Only new cases are considered when computing the incidence rate, while cases that were diagnosed earlier are excluded. The “population at risk” measure is usually obtained from census data.

What advantage do space telescopes have over telescopes used on earth?
Elina [12.6K]
Earth's atmosphere blocks many types of light including gamma, x-rays most ultraviolet and infrared. So optical telescopes that use visible light and ultraviolet telescopes that are used to study very hot stars are much less effective on Earth.
