A 65.0-kg woman steps off a 10.0-m diving platform and drops straight down into the water. 1) If she reaches a depth of 3.20 m,

what is the average resistance force exerted on her by the water? Ignore any effects due to air resistance. (Express your answer to three significant figures in kN)

Answer:

F=2627.6N

Explanation:

The work done by this resistive force while traveling a distance <em>d</em> underwater would be:

W=F.d=-Fd

where the minus sign appears because the force is upwards and the displacement downwards.

This work is equal to the change of mechanical energy. At the diving plataform and underwater, when she stops moving, the woman has no kinetic energy, so all can be written in terms of her total change of gravitational potential energy:

W=\Delta E=U_f-U_i=mgh_f-mgh_i=mg(h_f-h_i)

Putting all together:

F=-\frac{W}{d}=-\frac{mg(h_f-h_i)}{d}=-\frac{(65kg)(9.8m/s^2)(-3.2m-10m)}{3.2m}=2627.6N

Which of the following is not an example of a molecule? A.H2O2 B.NCl3 C.F D.O3
lara [203]
I believe the answer is F. This is because, F stands for Fluorine, which is an element and consists of one atom. A molecule consists of TWO OR MORE atoms held together by chemical bonds. F consists of only one atom, which is Fluorine. So the answer is C. Hope helped.

The magnitude of the net force versus time graph has a rectangular shape. Often in physics geometric properties of graphs have p
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

In this particular case, the area of the graph represents the impulse.

In fact, impulse is defined as the change in momentum of an object:

I=\Delta p

Moreover, impulse is also defined as the product between the magnitude of the force acting on an object and the duration of the collision:

I=F\Delta t

If we plot a graph of the force versus the time, if the force is constant then this graph will have a rectangular shape, and the area under the graph will simply be the product

F\cdot \Delta t

which corresponds to the definition of impulse.
