<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>

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

You drive 0.025 miles blind (or 132 ft)

Explanation:

(distance) = (speed) x (time)

(distance blind) = (speed) x (time looking for CD)

(distance blind) = (45 mi/hr) x (2 s) x (1/3600 hr/s) = 0.025 miles = 132 ft

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

When substances made of iron are exposed to oxygen and moisture (water), rusting takes place. Rusting removes a layer of material from the surface and makes the substance weak. Rusting is a chemical change.

If a 340 N girl sits on a seesaw and is lifted 1.4 m in 1.6 s, how much work was done by the child on the other side?
blondinia [14]
In physics, work is defined as the total energy when an object is moved to a certain displacement by the application of external force. It is calculated by the expression W = Fd. For this case, the displacement is apparently zero, then there is no work in the system above.

E=kq/r^2

q=(E*r^2)/k

q=(.086N/C)(1.7m^2)/(8.99*10^9N*m^2/C^2)

q=2.76*10^-11 C

q=2.8*10^-11 C
