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

Answer:

160 kg

12 m/s

Explanation:

m_1 = Mass of first car = 120 kg

m_2 = Mass of second car

u_1 = Initial Velocity of first car = 14 m/s

u_2 = Initial Velocity of second car = 0 m/s

v_1 = Final Velocity of first car = -2 m/s

v_2 = Final Velocity of second car

For perfectly elastic collision

m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}\\\Rightarrow m_2v_2=m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}-m_{1}v_{1}\\\Rightarrow m_2v_2=120\times 14+m_2\times 0-(120\times -2)\\\Rightarrow m_2v_2=1920\\\Rightarrow m_2=\frac{1920}{v_2}

Applying in the next equation

v_2=\frac{2m_1}{m_1+m_2}u_{1}+\frac{m_2-m_1}{m_1+m_2}u_2\\\Rightarrow v_2=\frac{2\times 120}{120+\frac{1920}{v_2}}\times 14+\frac{m_2-m_1}{m_1+m_2}\times 0\\\Rightarrow \left(120+\frac{1920}{v_2}\right)v_2=3360\\\Rightarrow 120v_2+1920=3360\\\Rightarrow v_2=\frac{3360-1920}{120}\\\Rightarrow v_2=12\ m/s

m_2=\frac{1920}{v_2}\\\Rightarrow m_2=\frac{1920}{12}\\\Rightarrow m_2=160\ kg

Mass of second car = 160 kg

Velocity of second car = 12 m/s

PLEASE SHOW STEPS!
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

660 J/kg/°C

Explanation:

Heat lost by metal = heat gained by water

-m₁C₁ΔT₁ = m₂C₂ΔT₂

-(0.45 kg) C₁ (21°C − 80°C) = (0.70 kg) (4200 J/kg/°C) (21°C − 15°C)

C₁ = 660 J/kg/°C

9. ¿Por qué no es lo mismo distancia que desplazamiento?
masya89 [10]

Answer:

Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion. Displacement is a vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's overall change in position.

Dimas [21]
Think in gravity, the moon is orbiting the Earth because of gravitational pull/force. Without this gravitational pull, the moon will just move in a straight line (Newton's first law).

Which energy transformations BEST illustrates why people can walk? A) Chemical energy is being converted into light energy. B) C
Gekata [30.6K]

The answer is letter c.

The explanation behind this is when human consumes a plant or when a human being eats an animal that ate a plant. The chemical energy kept in the plant (or animal) cells is progressed into the cells of the human's body. All of the body progressions, like ingestion, breathing, pumping blood, are driven by cells changing the kept chemical energy into heat and work, in a procedure called respiration. In the muscle cells of the human (or any animal), the chemical energy is converted into mechanical work and heat. The muscle pacts, the legs thrust, and the body jumps into the air.
