If a high jumper needs to make his center of gravity rise 1.50 m, how fast must he be able to sprint? Assume all of his kinetic

energy can be transformed into potential energy. For an extended object, the gravitational potential energy is U = mgh, where h is the height of the center of gravity.

Answer:

v = 5.42 m/s

Explanation:

given,

height of the jumper = 1.5 m

velocity of sprinter = ?

kinetic energy can be transformed into potential energy

m g h = \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

g h = \dfrac{1}{2}v^2

v =\sqrt{2gh}

v =\sqrt{2\times 9.8 \times 1.5}

v = 5.42 m/s

Speed of the sprinter is equal to v = 5.42 m/s

What name is given to a fuel made from living organisms or their waste??
Anni [7]
The name given to a fuel made from living organisms or their waste is a fossil fuel. Fossil fuels, in the form of oil and coal, have been utilised by mankind for approximately 100 years in order to produce energy. Today, there is a shift to more renewable energy sources such as solar, wind or wave power.

The team monitoring a space probe exploring the outer solar system fi nds that radio transmissions from the probe take 2.53 hours
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
If you can observe, we are only given one parameter here which is the time. If you want to compute for the distance, you have to know the speed. The hint here is the 'radio transmissions'. All the information gathered by the probe from the space, is sent back to the Earth by electromagnetic waves. Hence, we must know the speed of electromagnetic waves. Since they are as fast as light, their speed is equal to 300 million meters per second. Then, we can finally determine the distance.

d = speed*time
d = (300×10⁶ m/s)(2.53 hours)

Since 1 hour = 3,600 seconds,

d = (300×10⁶ m/s)(2.53 hours)(3,600 seconds/1 hour)
d = 2.73×10⁻¹² m
