A 50.1 kg diver steps off a diving board and drops straight down into the water. The water provides an average net force of resi

stance of 1598 N to the diver’s fall. If the diver comes to rest 5.2 m below the water’s surface, what is the total distance between the diving board and the diver’s stopping point underwater? The acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s 2. Answer in units of m.

Answer:

The total distance is 16.9 m

Explanation:

We understand work in physics as certain force exerted through certain distance. To reach that point below the water, the work done by the diver must be equal to the work done by the water's force of resistance. Therefore, we determine both work expressions and we solve the equation for the diver distance, which is the total distance between the diving board and the stopping point underwater.

W_{d}: work done by diver\\W_{R}: work due the force of resistance\\W_{d} = W_{R}\\F_{d}\times d_{d}=F_R \times d_{R}\\d_{d}= \frac{F_R \times d_R}{F_d}= \frac{F_R \times d_R}{m_d \times g}= \frac {1598 N \times 5.2 m}{50.1 kg \times 9.81 m/s^2}\\d_{d}= 16. 91 m

Two resistors of resistances R1 and R2, with R2>R1, are connected to a voltage source with voltage V0. When the resistors are
ehidna [41]

Answer

The Value of  r  = 0.127

Explanation:

The mathematical representation of the two resistors connected in series is

                               R_T = R_1 +R_2

 And from Ohm law

                           I_s =\frac{ V}{R_T}

                            I_s  = \frac{V_0}{R_1 +R_2} ---(1)

The mathematical representation of the two resistors connected in parallel  is

                    R_T = \frac{1}{R_1} +\frac{1}{R_2}

                          = \frac{R_1 R_2}{R_1 +R_2}

From the question I_p =10I_s

          =>                 I_p =10I_s = \frac{V_0 }{\frac{R_1R_2}{R_1 +R_2} }  = \frac{V_0 (R_1 +R_2)}{R_1 R_2}---(2)

     Dividing equation 2 with equation 1

       =>                 \frac{10I_s}{I_s} =\frac{\frac{V_0 (R_1 +R_2)}{R_1 R_2}}{\frac{V_0}{R_1 +R_2}}

                                  10 = \frac{(R_1+R_2)^2}{R_1 R_2}----(3)

We are told that    r = \frac{R_1}{R_2} \ \ \ \ \  = > R_1 = rR_2

From equation 3  

                            10 = \frac{(1-r)^2}{r}

=> \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \  1+r^2 + 2r = 10r

=> \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ r^2 -8r+1 = 0

Using the quadratic formula

                             r =\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{(b^2 - 4ac)} }{2a}

        a = 1  b = -8 c =1  

                              =  \frac{8 \pm\sqrt{((-8)^2- (4*1*1))} }{2*1}

                               r= \frac{8+ \sqrt{60} }{2}  \ or \  r = \frac{8 - \sqrt{60} }{2}

                              r = \ 7.87\ or \  r \  = \ 0.127

Now  r =  0.127 because it is the least value among the obtained values

2. Bank robbers have pushed a 1000 kg safe to a second story floor-to-ceiling window. They plan to break the window, then lower
zlopas [31]

Answer:

5.4 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of the safe, m1 = 1000 kg

Distance to lower the safe, d = 3 m

Mass of furniture, m2 = 500 kg.

Speed of the safe, v = ?

To get the final speed by the time that the safe hits the truck, we first find its acceleration.

The total mass of the system is M = 1000 + 500 kg = 1500 kg

One of the forces acting on the system is that of gravity, and it acts on the safe friction acting on the furniture. Using the formula, we have

= m1*g - mu*m2g

= 1000 * 9.81 - 0.5 * 500 * 9.81

= 7357.5 N

From this calculated weight, we find the acceleration.

Acceleration, a = F/m

Acceleration, a = 7357.5 / 1500

Acceleration, a = 4.905 m/s²

From the question, we know that the Initial speed = 0 m/s

So, employing the use of one of the equations of motion, we have

v² - u² = 2aS

v² - 0 = 2 * 4.905 * 3

v² = 29.43

v = √29.43

v = 5.4 m/s

What is the difference between a molecular formula and a molecular model
Anon25 [30]
The difference is one is a written formula that describes a molecule, the other is a visual representation of the molecule. for example the hydrocarbon butane has a molecular formula of C4H10, whereas the molecular model would depict 4 Carbon atoms (either represented by colour coded dots or the letter C) with single bonds (one straight line) connecting them to the 10 Hydrogen atoms (either differenly coloured dots or a H)

How far could you speed walk in 10 minutes based on your speed for the 10 meter trial
Neporo4naja [7]
S=D÷T. The speed would be equal to the speed from the walking backwards 5 meter<span> trial and time should be 15 minutes. Students will need to multiply the speed by the time to find the distance. 6. How long would it take you to walk (regular rate) </span>1 kilometer<span> (or </span>1,000 m<span>) based on your speed for the 10 meter trial?</span>
