Swimmer and Divers. The Potential energy is transferred into Kinetic energy, and allows the diver to submerge into the water. The Kinetic energy then allows the diver to submerge and dive into the water. Potential energy however, is needed to allow the diver to get back out of the water after diving to get up and go and dive again, and then the Kinetic energy is transferred back to Potential energy to repeat the process.
Hope :) -Emilie Xo this is right and it helps! Xo
Impulse = (force) x (time)
The first impulse was (20 N) x (10 sec) = 200 meters/sec
The second one is (50 N) x (time) and we want it equal to the first one, so
(50 N) x (time) = 200 meters/sec
Divide each side by 50N : Time = 200/50 = <em>4 seconds</em>
By the way, the quantity we're playing with here is the cart's <em>momentum</em>.
Weight = mg, g ≈ 9.8 m/s²
Weight = 2.2 * 9.8 ≈ 21.56 N
Work done = Force x Distance
Force = 10 lb = 44.5 N
Work Done = 44.5 N x 15 m
= 667.5 N-m
