Answer:
18.4 m
Explanation:
(a)
The known variables in this problem are:
u = 1.40 m/s is the initial vertical velocity (we take downward direction as positive direction)
t = 1.8 s is the duration of the fall
a = g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity
(b)
The vertical distance covered by the life preserver is given by
If we substitute all the values listed in part (a), we find
The ratio of the distance moved by the point at which the effort is applied in a simple machine to the distance moved by the point at which the load is applied, in the same time. In the case of an ideal (frictionless and weightless) machine, velocity ratio = mechanical advantage. Velocity ratio is sometimes called distance ratio.
Answer: Pressure increases as the depth increases
Explanation: The pressure in a liquid is due to the weight of the column of water above. Since the particles in a liquid are tightly packed, this pressure acts in all directions.
