For an uniformly accelerated motion, we can write
2ah=v_f^2-v_0^2
where a=g=-9.81 m/s^2 is the acceleration of this motion, which in this problem is the gravitational acceleration, with a negative sign because it points downward, against the direction of the motion; h=0.540 m is the distance covered by the flea, and v_0 is the initial velocity. 

At the maximum height, the velocity is zero, so v_f =0. Therefore we  can solve to find v_0:
v_0 =  \sqrt{2ah}= \sqrt{2(9.81 m/s^2)(0.540 m)}  =3.25 m/s

A team of engineering students is testing their newly designed 200 kg raft in the pool where the diving team practices. The raft
elena-s [515]

Answer:

The water level rises more when the cube is located above the raft before submerging.

Explanation:

These kinds of problems are based on the principle of Archimedes, who says that by immersing a body in a volume of water, the initial water level will be increased, raising the water level. That is, the height in the container with water will rise in level. The difference between the new volume and the initial volume of the water will be the volume of the submerged body.

Now we have two moments when the steel cube is held by the raft and when it is at the bottom of the pool.

When the cube is at the bottom of the water we know that the volume will increase, and we can calculate this volume using the volume of the cube.

Vc = 0.45*0.45*0.45 = 0.0911 [m^3]

Now when a body floats it is because a balance is established in the densities, the density of the body and the density of the water.

Ro_{H2O}=R_{c+r}\\where:\\Ro_{H2O}= water density = 1000 [kg/m^3]\\Ro_{c+r}= combined density cube + raft [kg/m^3]

Density is given by:

Ro = m/V

where:

m= mass [kg]

V = volume [m^3]

The buoyancy force can be calculated using the following equation:

F_{B}=W=Ro_{H20}*g*Vs\\W = (200+730)*9.81\\W=9123.3[N]\\\\9123=1000*9.81*Vs\\Vs = 0.93 [m^3]

Vs > Vc, What it means is that the combined volume of the raft and the cube is greater than that of the cube at the bottom of the pool. Therefore the water level rises more when the cube is located above the raft before submerging.
