The correct answer would be 1.7 m/s:

Start with what you know. In the y-direction, we know the jumper must fall 15 meters and starts with 0 velocity in the y direction. You can also assume that the acceleration of gravity is pulling down on the jumper at 9.8 m/s. Once you have these three you can plug it into kinematic a equation to find time

x=Vot+1/2at^2
15=(0)t+1/2(9.8)(t)^2
t=1.75

You get time=1.75 seconds. Since this is a kinematics problem, both the x and y direction have the same amount of time. You can then see that the x displacement is 3 to avoid the rocks, and acceleration is 0 in the x direction because no force is speeding it up. Therefore you can use the same equation to find initial velocity and final velocity, which are gonna be the same because we have 0 acceleration:

X=Vot+1/2at^2
3=Vi(1.75)+1/2(0)(1.75)^
Vi=1.7

1.7 is your answer

I have my work in the picture I really like to make charts to help keep everything organized if that helps you

A red laser with a wavelength of 670 nm and a blue laser with a wavelength of 450 nm emit laser beams with the same light power.
tatyana61 [14]

E=hf C=wavelength*F

E=hC/wavelength

E=(6.626*10^-34)*(3.00*10^8)/670*10^-9

E=(6.626*10^-34)*(3.00*10^8)/450*10^-9

a marine biologist wants to know the total vertical distance a dolphin travel during a jump with the surface of the water being
marin [14]

From the starting depth to the surface, the vertical distance is 35 ft.

From the surface to the peak of the jump, the vertical distance is 27 ft.

From the peak of the jump to the surface, the vertical distance is 27 ft.

From the surface to the ending depth, the vertical distance is 18 ft.

Then the total vertical distance is ...

  35 ft + 27 ft + 27 ft + 18 ft = 107 ft

How are the planets sizes related to their surface gravity
dexar [7]

Answer:

The surface gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the radius of the planet

Explanation:

The gravity at the surface of a planet is given by:

g=\frac{GM}{R^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the mass of the planet

R is the radius of the planet

We see from the formula that the surface gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the radius of the planet, R.

At the Earth's surface, the value of the surface gravity is approximately 9.81 m/s^2.

The slope of a Velocity versus Time graph will tell you the object’s what?
Verizon [17]
Hope it helped you.

My name is Charlie.

Today this question is about science,or chemistry.

A. Acceleration is a correct answer. Acceleration is a rate of change in velocity. 

It change in velocity/change in time. Next, to slope will be indicated by the acceleration.

B Change in position is a incorrect answer.

C. Velocity is a incorrect answer. Velocity is a displacement of an object during a specific unit of time. It can used two measurements are needed to determine velocity. It displacement or by the time. Displacement it includes a direction, so the velocity will also includes a direction. It can used speed with direction. Velocity it can be average velocity or an instantaneous velocity.

-Charlie

Have a great day!

Thanks!
