A person jumps off a diving board 5.0 m above the water's surface into a deep pool. The person's downward motion stops 2.2 m bel

ow the surface of the water. Calculate the speed of the diver just before striking the water, in m/s (ignore air friction).

Answer:

9.9 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2as+u^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 5+0^2}\\\Rightarrow v=9.9\ m/s$

If the body has started from rest then the initial velocity is 0. In order to find the velocity just before hitting the water then the distance at which the downward motion stops is irrelevant.

Hence, the speed of the diver just before striking the water is 9.9 m/s

Which of the following would most likely utilize a particulate control device?

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

d

Explanation:

Correct answer: D). All of the above The particulate control device is a device that is used for the separation of the material that is of a bigger size as compared to filter. In the factory smokestack, the particulate control device filters the particulate matter that is known to cause air pollution. In the vacuum cleaner, a fine dust particle is filtered out. In the laundry dryer, the water and dirt molecule is allowed to pass through it. Hence, all the options are correct.so therefore your answer would be all

polet [3.4K]

Here is the answer to the given question above. If Angela has been feeling fatigued and a test is used to check the basal metabolic rate and revealed that she has a low metabolic rate, therefore, the possible diagnosis for Angela would be HYPOTHYROIDISM. <span>The BMR test works by precisely measuring the amount of oxygen that you consume when your body is basal, or completely at rest. Hope this answers your question.</span>

Two different liquids are poured into a jar until it is half full. The jar is then sealed shut and shaken. The liquids undergo a

Lilit [14]

Answer:

A closed system.

Explanation:

The three major types of system are: open, closed and isolated. Open system interacts with its surroundings with respect to its particles and energy. A closed system interacts with its surroundings with respect to energy but not its particles. While an isolated system does not interact with its surroundings in any way.

Therefore, after the jar is sealed, it is an example of a closed system. This is because the emitted gas could not escape into the surroundings, but thermal energy was emitted into its surroundings after the chemical reaction has taken place.

A thermistor is placed in a 100 °C environment and its resistance measured as 20,000 Ω. The material constant, β, for this therm

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

the thermistor temperature = $325.68 \ ^0 \ C$

Explanation:

Given that:

A thermistor is placed in a 100 °C environment and its resistance measured as 20,000 Ω.

i.e Temperature

$T_1 = 100^0C\\T_1 = (100+273)K\\\\T_1 = 373\ K$

Resistance of the thermistor $R_1 =$ 20,000 ohms

Material constant $\beta$ = 3650

Resistance of the thermistor $R_2$ = 500 ohms

Using the equation :

$R_1 = R_2 \ e^{\beta} (\frac{1}{T_1}- \frac{1}{T_2})$

$\frac{R_1}{ R_2} = \ e^{\beta} (\frac{1}{T_1}- \frac{1}{T_2})$

Taking log of both sides

$In \ \frac{R_1}{ R_2} = In \ \ e^{\beta} (\frac{1}{T_1}- \frac{1}{T_2})$

$In \ \frac{R_1}{ R_2} = {\beta} (\frac{1}{T_1}- \frac{1}{T_2})$

$\frac{ In \ \frac{R_1}{ R_2}}{ {\beta}} = (\frac{1}{T_1}- \frac{1}{T_2})$

$\frac{1}{T_2} = \frac{1}{T_1} - \frac{ In \ \frac{R_1}{ R_2}}{ {\beta}}$

${T_2} = \frac{\beta T_1}{\beta - In (\frac{R_1}{R_2})T}$

Replacing our values into the above equation :

${T_2} = \frac{3650*373}{3650 - In (\frac{20000}{500})373}$

${T_2} = \frac{1361450}{3650 - 3.6888*373}$

${T_2} = \frac{1361450}{3650 - 1375.92}$

${T_2} = \frac{1361450}{2274.08}$

${T_2} = 598.68 \ K$

${T_2} = 325.68 \ ^0 \ C$

Thus, the thermistor temperature = $325.68 \ ^0 \ C$

A 1-kg rock is suspended by a massless string from one end of a

maxonik [38]

Answer:

The weight of measuring stick is 9.8 N

Explanation:

given information:

the mass of the rock, $m_{r}$ = 1 kg

measuring stick, x =1 m

d = 0.25 m

to find the weight of measuring stick, we can use the following equation:

τ = Fd

τ = 0

$F_{r} d$ - $F_{s}d$ = 0

F_{r} = the force of the rock

F_{s} = the force of measuring stick

$F_{s} =F_{r}$

= m g

= 1 kg x 9.8 m/s

= 9.8 N

thus, the weight of measuring stick is 9.8 N
