<span>Her center of mass will rise 3.7 meters. First, let's calculate how long it takes to reach the peak. Just divide by the local gravitational acceleration, so 8.5 m / 9.8 m/s^2 = 0.867346939 s And the distance a object under constant acceleration travels is d = 0.5 A T^2 Substituting known values, gives d = 0.5 9.8 m/s^2 (0.867346939 s)^2 d = 4.9 m/s^2 * 0.752290712 s^2 d = 3.68622449 m Rounded to 2 significant figures gives 3.7 meters. Note, that 3.7 meters is how much higher her center of mass will rise after leaving the trampoline. It does not specify how far above the trampoline the lowest part of her body will reach. For instance, she could be in an upright position upon leaving the trampoline with her feet about 1 meter below her center of mass. And during the accent, she could tuck, roll, or otherwise change her orientation so she's horizontal at her peak altitude and the lowest part of her body being a decimeter or so below her center of mass. So it would look like she jumped almost a meter higher than 3.7 meters.</span>

Stop to Think 7.1 Which one is greater- the attraction of the Earth on 1 kg lead or the attraction of 1 kg of led
Daniel [21]

Answer:

1 kg lead to earth is greater attraction as mass of earth is much more than 1kg lead.

Explanation:

Objects with more mass have more gravity. Gravity also gets weaker with distance. So, the closer objects are to each other, the stronger their gravitational pull is. Earth's gravity comes from all its mass

Radio waves travel at 3.00 · 108 m/s. Calculate the wavelength of a radio wave of frequency 900 kHz. (9.00 · 105 Hz.)
Anuta_ua [19.1K]
V: velocity of wave
f: frequency 
L: wavelenght

v = fL => L = v/f => L = (3x10^8)/(900x10^3) => L = 3.33 x 10^2m
