12.75 \frac{m}{s}

Assuming vertical acceleration of 9.81 \frac{m}{s^2}, the speed after x seconds of falling is 9.81x \to 9.81(1.3) = 12.75

You can painlessly wade into a pool, but doing a belly flop off of the high diving board hurts because of
Blizzard [7]

You can painlessly wade into a pool, but doing a belly flop off of the high diving board hurts because of the cohesion of the water molecules.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Water is represented as H20 where two hydrogen atoms are bonded to one oxygen atom. Due to force of attraction between the water molecules they stick together providing a greater force when an object or a body acts upon them.

Hence moving slowly in water or dipping slowly will not produce any opposite form whereas flipping does as it tries to separate the body between the water molecules when we fall with a certain amount of force.

All light waves move through a vacuum with a constant speed. True or False
andrey2020 [161]

Answer: True

Explanation:

Electromagnetic wave is defined as the wave which is associated with both electrical and magnetic component associated with them. They can travel in vacuum as well and travel with the speed of light.

Electromagnetic spectrum consists of electromagnetic waves called as radio waves, microwaves, infrared, Visible, ultraviolet , X rays and gamma rays in order of increasing frequency and decreasing wavelength.

Thus the statement that All light waves move through a vacuum with a constant speed is true.

A piece of nickel at 25 °C is dropped into a glass of water at 25 °C. Which statement is correct?
Makovka662 [10]
The answer is C the temp of water in both beakers will decrease since the metal is flowing heat into the water. Therefore we can say the metal losses heat and the water gains the heat lost by the metal minus any heat loss to surroundings! Hope this explanation helps you understand the concept! Please rate if I helped you! Thank you so much!

Alice and Tom dive from an overhang into the lake below. Tom simply drops straight down from the edge, but Alice takes a running
crimeas [40]

Answer:c

Explanation:

Given

Alice launches with horizontal velocity u=25\ m/s

Tom simply drops straight down from the edge

Time taken by both the person is same as they have same initial vertical velocity i.e. zero so the time taken to reach the ground is zero.

Although Alice will travel more horizontal distance compared to Tom.

Thus option c is correct
