Answer: 40 Joules

Explanation: Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its motion.

Kinetic energy depends on the mass and speed of the object.

$K.E=\frac{1}{2}\times mv^2$

m= mass of canoe = 20 kg

v= speed of canoe = 2 m/s

$K.E=\frac{1}{2}\times 20kg\times (2m/s)^2$

$K.E=40kgm^2s^-{2}=40Joules$

$(1kgm^2s^{-2}= 1Joule)$

1.Convert 340 cm into m *(answer=0.34m)

Nataly [62]

Answer:

1.for the first one 100centimeters make 1 meter therefore

100cm-1m

340cm-x

340/100

=3.4

the answer is supposed to be 3.4, maybe there's a mistake with the question or the answer

2.the weight of a body is given by the formula

mass×gravity,in this case the mass is 75kg and the gravity is 9.8

weight=75×9.8

=735N

3.for this one the mass of a body is given by the formula

mass=weight/gravity

=420/9.8

=42.8kg

I hope this helps

This question is incomplete the complete question is

A diver bounces straight up from a diving board, avoiding the diving board on the way down, and falls feet first into a pool. She starts with a velocity of 4.00 m/s and her takeoff point is 1.80 m above the pool. (a) What is her highest point above the board? (b) How long a time are her feet in the air? (c) What is her velocity when her feet hit the water?

Answer:

(a) Xs=0.459m

(b) t=0.984 s

Explanation:

(a) To reach maximum distance

$g=-9.8m/s^{2}\\ Vf=0\\v_{b}^{2}=v_{a}^{2}+2gx_{s} \\ x_{s}=\frac{0-(3^{2} )}{-2*9.8}\\ x_{s}=0.459m$
