platform diving in the olympic games takes place at two heights: 5 meters and 10 meters. What is the velocity of a diver enterin

1) Velocity: 9.9 m/s and 14 m/s

The motion of the diver is a free-fall motion, so it is a uniform accelerated motion. Choosing downward as positive direction, the final velocity can be found by using the following suvat equation:

v^2-u^2=2as

where

v is the final velocity

u = 0 is the initial velocity (the diver starts from rest)

a=g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

s is the displacement

For the diver jumping from 5 m, s = 5 m, so

v=\sqrt{2as}=\sqrt{2(9.8)(5)}=9.9 m/s

For the diver jumping from 10 m, s = 10 m, so

v=\sqrt{2as}=\sqrt{2(9.8)(10)}=14 m/s

2) Time: 1.01 s and 1.43 s

The time of flight of each diver can be found by using the other suvat equation

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

And since u = 0, it can be reduced to

s=\frac{1}{2}at^2

For the diver jumping from 5 m, s = 5 m, so we find

t=\sqrt{\frac{2s}{a}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(5)}{9.8}}=1.01 s

For the diver jumping from 10 m, s = 10 m, so we find

t=\sqrt{\frac{2s}{a}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(10)}{9.8}}=1.43 s

Two ropes are attached to a heavy box to pull it along the floor. one rope applies a force of 475 newtons in a direction due wes
vekshin1

Answer:570 N

Explanation:

Given

one rope applies a force of 475 N in west direction

other applies a force of 315 N in south direction

So both forces are at an angle of 90^{\circ}

Net resultant of two forces is

R=\sqrt{315^2+475^2}

R=\sqrt{99225+225625}

R=569.95 N \approx 570

and the resultant will be an angle of \theta with 475 Newton force

Rcos\theta =475

cos\theta =\frac{475}{569.95}=0.833

\theta =cos^{-1}(0.833)=33.591

So replacing two force we can apply a force of magnitude of 570 N at angle of 33.6 ^{\circ} with west
