Answer:

2 /s north

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity due North is 8 m/s and due south is 6 m/s

We need to find the magnitude and the direction of the resulting velocity.

Let North is positive and South is negative. When two velocities are in opposite direction, they adds up. So,

$v=8+(-6)\\\\v=2\ m/s$

It is positive. So, it is in North direction.

A lowly high diver pushes off horizontally with a speed of 2.00 m/s from the platform edge 10.0 m above the surface of the water

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

(a) 1.6m

(b) 6.86m

(c) 2.86s

Explanation:

This is a horizontal shooting problem, so we will use the following equations.

For horizontal distance x we use:

$x(t)=x_{0}+v_{0}t$

Where $x(t)$ is the horizontal distance at a time $t$ , $x_{0}$ is the initial horizontal position which in this case will be zero: $x_{0}=0$ . And $v_{0}$ is the initial speed: $v_{0}=2m/s$

So to solve (a):

(a) At what horizontal distance from the edge is the diver 0.800 s after pushing off?

we have that the time is: $t=0.8s$ so the horizontal distance is:

$x(0.8)=(2m/s)(0.8s)1.6m$

<u>The answer for (a) is 1.6m</u>

Now, to solve (b) we need the equation for vertical distance:

$y(t)=y_{0}-\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

Where $y(t)$ is the vertical distance at a time $t$ , $y_{0}$ is the initial vertical distance: $y_{0}=10m$ And $g$ is the gravitational acceleration: $g=9.81m/s^2$ }

(b) At what vertical distance above the surface of the water is the diver just then?

The time is the same as in the last question: $t=0.8s$

$y(0.8)=10m-\frac{1}{2}(9.81m/s^2)(0.8)^2$

$y(0.8)=10m-\frac{1}{2}(9.81m/s^2)(0.64s^2)$

$y(0.8)=10m-\frac{1}{2}(6.2784m)$

$y(0.8)=10m-(3.1392)$

$y(0.8)=6.86m$

<u>the answer to (b) is 6.86m</u>

(c) At what horizontal distance from the edge does the diver strike the water?

To solve (c) we first need to know how long it took to reach the height of the water, that is, for what time y = 0

Using $y(t)=y_{0}-\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

if $y(t)=0$

$0=10-\frac{1}{2}gt^2\\-10=-\frac{1}{2}gt^2\\20=gt^2\\\frac{20}{g}=t^2\\ \sqrt{\frac{20}{g}}=t$

and since $g=9.81m/s^2$

$t=\sqrt{\frac{20}{9.81} } =\sqrt{2.039}=1.43s$

At $t=1.43s$ the car hits the water, so the horizontal distance at that time is:

$x(t)=x_{0}+v_{0}t$

$x(1.43)=(2m/s)(1.43s)=2.86m$

<u>the answer to (c) is 2.86s</u>

How can you tell that something is in motion?

Westkost [7]

Answer - An object is in motion when its distance from another object is changing. ... A reference point is a place or object used for comparison to determine if something is in motion. An object is in motion if it changes position relative to a reference point. You assume that the reference point is stationary, or not moving.
