Answer:

1.4 m/s

Explanation:

The minimum speed will be when the diver's initial velocity is horizontal.

First, find the time it takes for the diver to fall 10 meters.

Given:

Δy = 10 m

v₀ᵧ = 0 m/s

aᵧ = 9.8 m/s²

Find: t

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

10 m = (0 m/s) t + ½ (9.8 m/s²) t²

t = 1.43 s

Now find the initial horizontal velocity.

v = (2 m) / (1.43 s)

v = 1.4 m/s

Estimate the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of Europa (one of the moons of Jupiter) given that its mass is 4.9×1022k

Taya2010 [7]

Answer: $g=1.97 m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given

mass of Jupiter is $M=4.9\times 10^{22} kg$

Density of Jupiter is same as Earth

$density\ of\ Earth=density\ of\ Jupiter=5510 kg/m^3$

$mass=volume\times density$

considering Jupiter to be sphere of radius r

$M=\frac{4}{3}\times \pi r^3\times \rho$

$r^3=\frac{3M}{\rho \times 4\pi}$

$r^3=\frac{3\times 4.9\times 10^{22}}{5510\times 4\pi}$

$r=(\frac{3\times 4.9\times 10^{22}}{5510\times 4\pi})^{\frac{1}{3}}$

$r=1.28\times 10^6 m$

acceleration due to gravity is given by

$g=\frac{GM}{r^2}$

$g=\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 4.9\times 10^{22}}{(1.28\times 10^6)^2}$

$g=1.97 m/s^2$

A 75-g projectile traveling at 600 m /s strikes and becomes embedded in the 40-kg block, which is ini-tially stationary. Compute

levacccp [35]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

Mass, m = 75 g

Velocity, v = 600 m/s

As no external force is acting on the system in the horizontal line of motion. So, the equation will be as follows.

$m_{1}v_{1_{i}} = (m_{1} + m_{2})vi$

where, $m_{1}$ = mass of the projectile

$m_{2}$ = mass of block

v = velocity after the impact

Now, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

$m_{1}v_{1_{i}} = (m_{1} + m_{2})vi$

$75(10^{-3}) \times 600 = [(75 \times 10^{-3}) + 50] \times v$

= $\frac{45}{50.075}$

v = 0.898 m/s

Now, equation for energy is as follows.

E = $\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$

= $\frac{1}{2} \times (75 \times 10^{-3} + 50) \times (600)^{2}$

= 13500 J

Now, energy after the impact will be as follows.

E' = $\frac{1}{2}[75 \times 10^{-3} + 50](0.9)^{2}$

= 20.19 J

Therefore, energy lost will be calculated as follows.

$\Delta E$ = E E'

= (13500 - 20) J

= 13480 J

And, n = $\frac{\Delta E}{E}$

= $\frac{13480}{13500} \times 100$

= 99.85

= 99.9%

Thus, we can conclude that percentage n of the original system energy E is 99.9%.
