An Olympic diver springs off of a high dive that is 3 m above the surface of the water. When she lands in the water she is trave
klemol [59]

Answer:u=4.51 m/s\ at\ angle\ of\ \theta =59.34^{\circ}

Explanation:

Given

height of building h=3 m

Landing velocity of diver v=8.90 m/s at an angle of 75^{\circ}

Let u be the initial velocity of diver at an angle of \theta with horizontal

Since there is no acceleration in horizontal direction therefore horizontal component of velocity will remain same

u\cos \theta =8.9\cos (75)        ---- -----1

Considering Vertical motion

v^2-u^2=2as

here v=8.9\sin (75)

u=u\sin \theta

s=3 m

a=9.8 m/s^2

(8.9\sin (75))^2-(u\sin \theta )^2=2\times 9.8\times 3

u\sin \theta =\sqrt{(8.9\sin 75)^2-(2\cdot 9.8\cdot 3)}

u\sin \theta =3.886         ----------------2

Divide 2 and 1 we get

\tan \theta =\frac{3.886}{8.9\cos (75)}

\tan \theta =1.687

\theta =59.34^{\circ}

Thus u\cos (59.34)=8.9\cos (75)

u=4.51 m/s

In heavy rush-hour traffic you drive in a straight line at 12 m/s for 1.5 milrutes, then you have to stop for 3.5 minutes, and f
g100num [7]

Average velocity  between t= 0 and t = 7.5 minutes = 7.4 m / s

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Regular straight motion is the motion of objects on a straight track that has a fixed speed

Formula used

\large{\boxed{\boxed{\bold{S\:=\:v\:\times\:t}}}

S = distance = m

v = speed = m / s

t = time = seconds

The motion of objects can be expressed in graphical form

This relationship graph can be in the form of a graph S-t, v-t or a-t

From the S-t graph, the average speed can be determined by determining the slope distance of the curve line from the distance to time ratio

average velocity = distance traveled / time taken

 

From the statement of questions there are 3 stages of time that occur

  • 1. first time

move with v = 12 m / s, t = 1.5 min = 90 s

So the distance traveled =

s = v x t

S = 12. 90

S = 1080 m

  • 2. second time

stop (v = 0) so that s = 0 and t = 3.5 min = 210 s

  • 3. third time

move with v = 15 m / s and t = 2.5 min = 150 s

so the distance traveled

s = v x t

s = 15 x 150

s = 2250 m

Total distance = 2250 + 1080 = 3330  m

If we look at the existing chart (attached)

then we can draw a straight line from the starting point to the end point so we get a slash curve that shows the average speed

v average = distance traveled / time taken

v average = 3330/450

v average = 7.4 m / s

What is the molality of a solution that contains 54 grams of NaOH dissolved in 1.50 kg of water? (The molar mass of NaOH 40.00 g
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

0.900 mol/kg

Explanation:

Molality is moles of solute per kilograms of solvent.

Converting 54 grams of NaOH to moles:

54 g NaOH × (1 mol NaOH / 40.00 g NaOH) = 1.35 mol NaOH

So the molality is:

m = (1.35 mol) / (1.50 kg)

m = 0.900 mol/kg
