B. The gravity acceleration is in the same direction as the force of gravity, and thus towards the centre of the earth
Inspect the glassware for cracks or chips prior to beginning the lab.
Answer:
a = 1.152s
b = 0.817 m
c = 7.29m/s
Explanation: let the following
From the first equation of linear motion
V = u+at..........1
parameters be represented as :
t = Time taken
v = Final velocity
a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²
u = Initial velocity = 4 m/s
s = Displacement
V = 0
Substitute the values into equation 1
0 = 4-9.8(t)
-4 = -9.8t
t = 4/9.8
t = 0.408s
From : s = ut+1/2at^2.........2
S = 4×0.408+0.5(-9.8)×0.408^2
S= 1.632-4.9(0.166)
S = 1.632-0.815
S = 0.817m
Her highest height above the board is 0.817 m
Total height she would fall is 0.817+1.90 = 2.717 m
From equation 2
s = ut+1/2at^2
2.717 m = 0t+0.5(9.8)t^2
2.717 m = 0+4.9t^2
2.717 m = 4.9t^2
2.717/4.9 = t^2
0.554 =t^2
t =√0.554
t = 0.744s
Hence, her feet were in the air for 0.744+0.408seconds
= 1.152s
Also recall from equation 1
V= u+at
V = 0+9.8(0.744)
V = 7.29m/s
Hence, the velocity when she hits the water is 7.29m/s
Finally,
a = 1.152s
b = 0.817 m
c = 7.29m/s
SI will always be in metric, so the answer is D. Meter.
