Kilogram(kg)
It's not the SI unit of mass in the metric system however.

Answer:

The correct answer is gram (g).

Explanation:

The metric system uses grams (g) as the fundamental unit of measurement of mass. This system applies the idea that units increase and decrease by a power of 10. This means that a kilogram (kg) is 1000 times heavier than a gram (g), and a gram is 1000 times heavier than a milligram (mg).

A swimmer bounces straight up from a diving board and falls feet first into a pool. She starts with a velocity of 4.00 m/s, and

Answer:

a) Her feet are in the air for 0.73+0.41 = 1.14 seconds

b) Her highest height above the board is 0.82 m

c) Her velocity when her feet hit the water is 7.16 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity = 4 m/s

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 0=4-9.81\times t\\\Rightarrow \frac{-4}{-9.81}=t\\\Rightarrow t=0.41\ s$

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=4\times 0.41+\frac{1}{2}\times -9.81\times 0.41^2\\\Rightarrow s=0.82\ m$

b) Her highest height above the board is 0.82 m

Total height she would fall is 0.82+1.8 = 2.62 m

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 2.62=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{2.62\times 2}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow t=0.73\ s$

a) Her feet are in the air for 0.73+0.41 = 1.14 seconds

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=0+9.81\times 0.73\\\Rightarrow v=7.16\ m/s$

c) Her velocity when her feet hit the water is 7.16 m/s

If you want to tell a friend about a fish you caught or a tree you cut down,
you're going to tell him WHERE you were ... its position in space, 3 numbers,
'x', 'y', and 'z' ... and also WHEN you were ... its position in time, one more
number.

Dimensions are numbers used to describe the location of a point, and the
difference in location between two points. With four numbers, you can exactly
describe the location of anything, and its distance from any other thing, in
space and time.
