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

Based on its type of chemical bond, which of the following has the highest boiling point?
Sever21 [200]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Potassium chloride

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Potassium Chloride is an ionic compound and has ionic bond which is stronger than covalent bond in ethyl alcohol,water ,ammonia, and thus has the highest boiling point .
  • ionic bond is a type of bond that results from the transfer of electrons between metallic atoms and non-metallic atoms.

En el mar, la luz visible alcanza una profundidad de aproximadamente 200 metros (zona fotica). ¿De dónde obtienen energías las p
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

En la zona apótica (profundidad inferior a 200 m); todo lo que queda de la luz solar es una luz tenue, opaca, azul-verde, demasiado impotente para siquiera considerar permitir que ocurra la fotosíntesis. Sin embargo, hay comida para tener; basura, trozos de plantas podridas y derroche de criaturas caen desde arriba para cuidar a los seres vivos en la zona apótica.

Las formas de vida a una profundidad inferior a 200 m dependen de los productos químicos que salen de los respiraderos; el procedimiento que utilizan para hacer los alimentos se llama quimiosíntesis en lugar de fotosíntesis.

A 100 Kg man is diving off a 50 meter cliff. What is his kinetic energy when he is 20 meters from the water?
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

K.E=29.403125J

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Mass M=100

Height 50-20=30m

Generally the equation for velocity before impact is is is mathematically given by

v=\sqrt{2gh}

v=\sqrt{2*9.8*30}

v=24.25

Generally the equation for Kinetic Energy is is mathematically given by

K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

K.E=\frac{1}{2}*100*(24.25)^2\\

K.E=29403.125J

K.E=29.403125J
