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

A wire, of length L = 4.1 mm, on a circuit board carries a current of I = 1.96 μA in the j direction. A nearby circuit element g
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

The magnitude of the magnetic field B is 5.921 T.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length = 4.1 mm

B_{x}=4.9\ G

B_{y}=2.3\ G

B_{z}=2.4\ G

Current I = 1.96\ mu A

We need to calculate the magnetic field

Using formula of magnetic field

B=\sqrt{B_{x}^2+B_{y}^2+B_{z}^2}

Put the value into the formula

B=\sqrt{(4.9)^2+(2.3)^2+(2.4)^2}

B=5.921\ T

Hence, The magnitude of the magnetic field B is 5.921 T.

Which weather event is capable of destroying homes and uprooting trees due to a low pressure area at its center
Bond [772]

You're talking about a <em>tornado</em>.

It's not so much the low pressure that's so dangerous in the center of a tornado.  It's more a matter of the high winds that are <em>caused </em>by the low pressure.

A 180-ohm resistor has 0.10 A of current in it. what is the potential difference across the resistor
Firlakuza [10]
We know V=IR (Ohm's law).

We are given R=180Ω and I=0.1A, then V=(0.1AΩ)(180Ω). Therefore

V=18V

The magnetic field produced by a long straight current-carrying wire is
alexdok [17]

Answer:

proportional to the current in the wire and inversely proportional to the distance from the wire.

Explanation:

The magnetic field produced by a long, straight current-carrying wire is given by:

B=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi r}

where

\mu_0 is the vacuum permeability

I is the current intensity in the wire

r is the distance from the wire

From the formula, we notice that:

- The magnitude of the magnetic field is directly proportional to I, the current

- The magnitude of the magnetic field is inversely proportional to the distance from the wire, r

Therefore, correct option is

proportional to the current in the wire and inversely proportional to the distance from the wire.
