Answer:29.627 m

Explanation:

Given

Initial velocity of life preserver(u) is 1.6 m/s

it takes 2.3 s to reach the water

using equation of motion

v=u+at

v=1.6+9.81\times 2.3

v=24.163 m/s

Let s be the height of life preserver

v^2-u^2=2gs

24.163^2-1.6^2=2\times 9.81\times s

s=\frac{581.29}{2\times 9.81}

s=29.627 m

A 2.00-kg object traveling east at 20.0 m/s collides with a 3.00-kg object traveling west at 10.0 m/s.
ELEN [110]
Momentum = mass x velocity

Before collision
Momentum 1 = 2 kg x 20 m /s = 40 kg x m/s
Momentum 2 = 3 kg x -10m/s = -30 kg x m/s

After collision
Momentum 1 = 2 kg x -5 m/s = -10 m/s
Momentum 2 = 3 kg x V2 = 3V2

Total momentum before = total momentum after
40 + -30 = -10 + 3V2
V2 = <span>6.67 m/s

Total kinetic energy before
</span><span>= (1/2) [ 2 kg * 20 m/s * 2 + 3 kg * ( -10 m/s) *2 ]
= 550 J

<span>Total kinetic energy after
</span>= (1/2) [ 2 kg * ( - 5 m/s) * 2 + 3 kg * 6.67 m/s *2 ]
= 91.73 J

Total kinetic energy lost during collision
=<span>550 J - 91.73 J
= 458.27 J</span>
