Hello
We know that the water's kinetic energy upon leaving will be converted into potential energy as it is projected straight up. The maximum height attained by the water is 29.6m.
We know Kinetic Energy is
1/2 * m * v^2
And Potential energy is
m*g*h
Equating,
(m*v^2)/2 = m*g*h
The mass cancels out from each side, making an object's mass irrelevant when its Kinetic and Potential energies are interchanging.
v = sprt(2gh)
v = sqrt(2*9.81*29.6)
v = 24.1 m/s
Fossil fuels are the largest source of energy in the US.
Answer:
It is frequently stated that the value of the acceleration due to gravity at the pole is larger than at the equator because the poles are closer to the center of the earth due to the earth's oblateness. ... The measured value is larger because the earth's density is not uniform but increases toward the center.

Answer:
As the skydiver falls to the Earth, she experiences positive acceleration only due to gravity.
Explanation:
As the skydiver falls to the Earth, she experiences friction in the form of air resistance which tries to slow her down and is proportional to the her velocity. So it cannot have a positive acceleration as it acts in opposite direction to slow her down.
Inertia during skydiving is experienced when we open an parachute, the parachute slows down the speed of are descent hence changing our inertia of motion with a velocity.
Only the Earth's, gravitational field has an positive acceleration as it pulls us towards the Earth, hence increasing our velocity.
