[High Dive) above a pool of water. According to the announcer, the divers enter the water at a speed of 56 mi/h (25 m/s). (Air r

esistance may be ignored in this problem.) ve] Visitors at an amusement park watch divers step off a platform 70 ft (a) Is the announcer correct in this claim? Please explain. (b) Is it possible for a diver to leap directly upward off the board so that, missing the platform on the way down, the diver enters the water at 25 m/s? If so, what initial upward speed is required? Is the required initial speed physically attainable? How do you know?

Answer:

(a) The announcer's claim is incorrect because the divers enter at a speed of 20.4 and not 25 m/s as announced

(b)  it’s possible for a diver to enter the water with the velocity of 25 m/s if he has initial velocity of 14.4 m/s. The upward initial velocity can’t be physically attained

Explanation:

(a)

To find the final velocity V_{f} for an object traveling distance h taking the initial vertical component of velocity as V_{i} the kinematics equation is written as

V_{f}^{2}=V_{i}^{2}+2ah where a is acceleration

Substituting g for a where g is gravitational force value taken as 9.81

V_{f}^{2}=V_{i}^{2}+2gh

Since the initial velocity is zero, we can solve for final velocity by substituting figures, note that 70 ft is 21.3 m for h

V_{f}=\sqrt {(2gh)}= V_{f}=\sqrt {(2*9.81*21.3)}= 20.44275

Therefore, the divers enter with a speed of 20.4 m/s

The announcer's claim is incorrect because the divers enter at a speed of 20.4 and not 25 m/s as announced

(b)

The divers can enter water with a velocity of 25 m/s only if they have some initial velocity. Using the kinematic equation

V_{f}^{2}=V_{i}^{2}+2gh

Since we have final velocity of 25 m/s

V_{i}^{2}=2gh-V_{f}^{2}

V_{i}=\sqrt{(V_{f}^{2}-2gh)}

V_{i}=\sqrt{(25^{2}-2*9.81*21.3)}= 14.390761 m/s

Therefore, it’s possible for a diver to enter the water with the velocity of 25 m/5 if he has initial velocity of 14.4 m/s

In conclusion, the upward initial velocity can’t be physically attained

A professor drives off with his car (mass 870 kg), but forgot to take his coffee mug (mass 0.47 kg) off the roof. The coefficien
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:6.86 m/s^2

Explanation:

Given

mas of car=870 kg

coffee mug mass=0.47 kg

coefficient of static friction between mug and roof \mu _s= 0.7

Coefficient of kinetic Friction \mu _k=0.5

maximum car acceleration is \mu \times g

here coefficient of static friction comes in to action because mug is placed over car . If mug is moving relative to car then \mu _k is come into effect

a_{max}=0.7\times 9.8=6.86 m/s^2

Compare the maximum rate of heat transfer to the basal metabolic rate by converting a bmr of 88 kcal/hr into watts. what is the
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Explanation :

It is given that,

BMR i.e basal metabolic rate is 88 kcal/hr. So, BMR in watts is converted by the following :

We know that, 1 kilocalorie = 4184 joules

So, 1\ kcal/h=\dfrac{1\times 4184\ J}{3600\ sec}

1\ kcal/h=1.16\ J/sec

J/sec is nothing but watts.

So, 1\ kcal/h=1.16\ watts

and 88\ kcal/h=88\times 1.16\ watts = 102.08\ watts

So, it can be seen that the body can accommodate a modes amount of activity in hot weather but strenuous activity would increase the metabolic rate above the body's ability to remove heat.
