A high diver of mass 51.7 kg steps off a board 10.0 m above the water and falls vertical to the water, starting from rest. If he

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

You hang a heavy ball with a mass of 10 kg from a gold wire 2.6 m long that is 1.6 mm in diameter. You measure the stretch of th
PolarNik [594]

<u>Answer:</u> The Young's modulus for the wire is 6.378\times 10^{10}N/m^2

<u>Explanation:</u>

Young's Modulus is defined as the ratio of stress acting on a substance to the amount of strain produced.

The equation representing Young's Modulus is:

Y=\frac{F/A}{\Delta l/l}=\frac{Fl}{A\Delta l}

where,

Y = Young's Modulus

F = force exerted by the weight  = m\times g

m = mass of the ball = 10 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s^2

l = length of wire  = 2.6 m

A = area of cross section  = \pi r^2

r = radius of the wire = \frac{d}{2}=\frac{1.6mm}{2}=0.8mm=8\times 10^{-4}m      (Conversion factor:  1 m = 1000 mm)

\Delta l = change in length  = 1.99 mm = 1.99\times 10^{-3}m

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Y=\frac{10\times 9.81\times 2.6}{(3.14\times (8\times 10^{-4})^2)\times 1.99\times 10^{-3}}\\\\Y=6.378\times 10^{10}N/m^2

Hence, the Young's modulus for the wire is 6.378\times 10^{10}N/m^2

What are radioactive isotopes?
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

<em><u>R</u></em><em><u>adioactive isotope</u></em> , also called radioisotope,

radionuclide, or radioactive nuclide, any of

several species of the same chemical element

with different masses whose nuclei are unstable

and dissipate excess energy by spontaneously

emitting radiation in the form of alpha , beta , and

gamma rays .

A brief treatment of radioactive isotopes follows.

For full treatment, see isotope: <u>Radioactive</u>

<u>Radioactiveisotopes.</u>

Every chemical element has one or more

radioactive isotopes. For example, hydrogen, the

lightest element, has three isotopes with mass

numbers 1, 2, and 3. Only hydrogen-3 (tritium ),

however, is a radioactive isotope , the other two

being stable. More than 1,000 radioactive

isotopes of the various elements are known.

Approximately 50 of these are found in nature;

the rest are produced artificially as the direct

products of nuclear reactions or indirectly as the

radioactive descendants of these products.

Radioactive isotopes have many useful

applications. In medicine , for example, cobalt -60

is extensively employed as a radiation source to

arrest the development of cancer. Other

radioactive isotopes are used as tracers for

diagnostic purposes as well as in research on

metabolic processes. When a radioactive isotope

is added in small amounts to comparatively large

quantities of the stable element, it behaves

exactly the same as the ordinary isotope

chemically; it can, however, be traced with a

Geiger counter or other detection device.

Iodine -131 has proved effective in treating

hyperthyroidism. Another medically important

radioactive isotope is carbon-14, which is used in

a breath test to detect the ulcer-causing bacteria

Heliobacter pylori .
