Answer:

Kinetic energy of diver at 90% of the distance to the water is 9000 J

Explanation:

Let d is the distance between the position of the diver and surface of the pool.

Initially, the diver is at rest and only have potential energy which is equal to 10000 J.

As the diver dives towards the pool, its potential energy is converting into kinetic energy due to law of conservation of energy, as total energy of the system remains same.

Energy before diving = Energy during diving

(Potential Energy + Kinetic Energy) =  (Kinetic Energy +  Potential Energy)

When the diver reaches 90% of the distance to the water, its kinetic energy

is 90% to its initial potential energy, as its initial kinetic is zero,i.e.,

K.E. = \frac{90}{100}\times10000

K.E. = 9000 J

What discoveries support the idea of continental drift?
noname [10]

Answer: With the discovery of plate tectonics and the mapping of the earth into about 12 plates, plus the understanding that plates' movement caused earthquakes, Alfred Wegener's idea of " continental drift" looked less ludicrous than his contemporaries had thought.

Explanation: Hope this works :)! If not, I am sorry :(. If it does, Your Welcome! :)

Calculate the mean free path of air molecules at a pressure of 7.00×10^−13 atm and a temperature of 303 K . (This pressure is re
Grace [21]

Answer:

82.8986 km

Explanation:

Given:

Pressure = 7.00×10⁻¹³ atm

Since , 1 atm = 101325 Pa

So, Pressure = 7.00×10⁻¹³×101325 Pa = 7.09275×10⁻⁸ Pa

Radius = 2.00×10⁻¹⁰ m

Diameter = 4.00×10⁻¹⁰ m (2× Radius)

Temperature = 303 K

The expression for mean free path is:

\lambda (Mean\ free\ path)=\frac {K (Boltzmann\ Constant)\times Temperature}{\sqrt {2}\times \pi\times (Diameter)^2\times Pressure}

Boltzmann Constant = 1.38×10⁻²³ J/K

So,

\lambda (Mean\ free\ path)=\frac {1.38\times 10^{-23}\times 303}{\sqrt {2}\times \frac {22}{7}\times (4.00\times 10^{-10})^2\times 7.09275\times 10^{-8}}

<u>Mean free path = 82.8986×10³ m = 82.8986 km</u>

NikAS [45]

Answer:

so the speed will increase by 1.44 times then the initial speed if the distance is increased to double

Explanation:

As we know that the air friction or resistance due to air is neglected then we can use the equation of kinematics here

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

since we released it from rest so we have

v_i = 0

so here we have

v_f = \sqrt{2gd}

now if the distance is double then we have

v_f' = \sqrt{2g(2d)}

now from above two equations we can say that

v_f' = \sqrt2 v_f

so the speed will increase by 1.44 times then the initial speed if the distance is increased to double
