Answer:

851.33 N

Explanation:

Using newton;s equation of motion,

v² = u² + 2gh ......... Equation 1

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height

Given: u = 0 m/s(from rest), h = 10 m g = 9.8 m/s².

Substitute into equation 1

v² = 0² + 2(9.8)(10)

v² = 196

v = √196

v = 14 m/s.

Note: As the Diver touches the water,  u = 14 m/s and v = 0 m/s( stopped)

Using,

d = (v+u)t/2 .............. equation 2

Where d = distance moved by the diver in water before its motion stopped, t = time taken before it comes to rest

Given: v = 0 m/s, u = 14 m/s t = 2.10 s

Substitute into equation 2

d = (0+14)2.1/2

d = 14.7 m.

Finally

work done by the water to stop the diver = potential energy of the diver

F×d = mgh'................Equation 3

Where F = force of the diver in water, d = distance of the diver in the water, m = mass of the diver, g = acceleration due to gravity, h' = height of the diver from the point of fall to the point where he comes to rest

making F the subject of the equation,

F = mgh/d ............ Equation 4

Given: m = 51.7 kg, h = 10 m, g = 9.8 m/s², d = 14.7 m.

Substitute into equation 4

F = 51.7(10+14.7)(9.8)/14.7

F = 851.33 N

Hence the upward force the water exert on her = 851.33 N

A 1000 kg car is rolling slowly across a level surface at 1m/s, heading toward a group of small innocent children.
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

The force is -1620.73 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of car = 1000 kg

Velocity = 1 m/s

Distance = 2 m

Angle = 30°

We need to calculate the force

Using formula of work done

W_{net}=K_{f}-K_{i}

F\times d=K_{f}-K_{i}

Fd\cos\theta=-K_{i}

F=\dfrac{-K_{f}}{d\cos\theta}

F=-\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2}{d\cos\theta}

Put the value into the formula

F=-\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}\times1000\times(1)^2}{2\times\cos30}

F=-1620.73\ N

Hence, The force is -1620.73 N.

Scilla [17]
<h2>Power of cheetah is 5576.85 W = 7.48 hp</h2>

Explanation:

Power is the ratio of energy to time.

Here we need to consider kinetic energy,

Mass, m = 102 kg

Initial velocity = 0 m/s

Final velocity = 16.2 m/s

Time, t = 2.4 s

Initial kinetic energy = 0.5 x Mass x Initial velocity² = 0.5 x 102 x 0² = 0 J

Final kinetic energy = 0.5 x Mass x Final velocity² = 0.5 x 102 x 16.2² = 13384.44 J

Change in energy = Final kinetic energy - Initial kinetic energy

Change in energy = 13384.44 - 0

Change in energy = 13384.44 J

Power = 13384.44  ÷ 2.4 = 5576.85 W = 7.48 hp

Power of cheetah is 5576.85 W = 7.48 hp
