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

What form of matter is vapor?
katrin [286]
The form of matter that is vapor is a gas made of a substance that is usually liquid. 
Vapor is created when water, or some other liquid evaporates - meaning that it becomes so hot in a room, or wherever, that the liquid starts becoming gas.

R S ( M ) = 2 G M c 2 , where G is the gravitational constant and c is the speed of light. It is okay if you do not follow the d
padilas [110]

The provided question's answer is "Schwarzschild radius".

The conversion factor between mass and energy is the speed of light squared.

GM/r stands for gravitational potential energy, also known as energy per unit mass.

GM/rc² then has "mass per unit mass" units. In other words, as mass/mass splits out in a dimensional analysis, "dimensionless per unit."

The derivation yields a formula for time or space coordinate ratios requiring sqrt(1 - 2GM/rc²). This number becomes 0 when r=2GM/c2, or the formula becomes infinite if in the denominator. However, there is no justification for using c² as a conversion factor there. Consider the initial expression sqrt(1 - 2GM/rc²).

Assume that m is used as the test particle's mass instead of 1. Then you have sqrt(m - 2GMm/rc² and mass units. This expression denotes that the rest energy of the test mass m you introduced into the gravitational field is "gone" at that radius.

The 2 would be absent if the gravitational field were Newtonian. However, at the event horizon, Einstein gravity is slightly stronger than Newton gravity, resulting in the factor 2 in qualitative terms.

So, the given equation is of Schwarzschild radius.

If Vx= 9.5 units and Vy= -6.4 units, determine the magnitude of V
valkas [14]

Answer:

The magnitude of the velocity is approximately 11.45 units

Explanation:

Since they give us the x and y components of the vector velocity, we can find its magnitude via the Pythagorean theorem:

|v|=\sqrt{9.5^2+(-6.4)^2} \approx 11.45

What is the difference between “exercise” and “physical activity”?
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
Physical activity is movement that is carried out by the skeletal muscles that requires energy. In other words, any movement one does is actually physical activity. Exercise, however, is planned, structured, repetitive and intentional movement intended to improve or maintain physical fitness.
