Answer:

a) 1.20227 seconds

b) 0.98674 m

c) 7.3942875 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity = 4.4 m/s

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 0=4.4-9.81\times t\\\Rightarrow \frac{-4.4}{-9.81}=t\\\Rightarrow t=0.44852\ s

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=4.4\times 0.44852+\frac{1}{2}\times -9.81\times 0.44852^2\\\Rightarrow s=0.98674\ m

b) Her highest height above the board is 0.98674 m

Total height she would fall is 0.98674+1.8 = 2.78674 m

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 2.78674=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{2.78674\times 2}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow t=0.75375\ s

a) Her feet are in the air for 0.75375+0.44852 = 1.20227 seconds

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=0+9.81\times 0.75375\\\Rightarrow v=7.3942875\ m/s

c) Her velocity when her feet hit the water is 7.3942875 m/s

Which measurement is a potential difference?<br> A.115J<br> B.115V<br> C.115N<br> D.115C
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Potential difference has a SI Unit of Volt and its symbol is <em>V</em>. Hence answer is <u>B</u>.

A is wrong as it has the unit Joule <em>(J)</em> which is the SI unit for energy.

C is wrong as it has the unit Newton <em>(N)</em> which is the SI unit for force.

D is wrong as it has the unit Coulomb <em>(C)</em> which is the SI unit of charge.

light waves are first transmitted through the ________ at the front of the eye and enter an opening called the ________ before s
viva [34]

The transmission of light waves is usually done through cornea of the eyes, then move through another opening which is regarded as pupil before it will get to the retina.

  • Light waves can be regarded as moving energy which contains microscopic particles known as photons.
  • The vision of the eye can be completed through the light wave passing through the components of the eyes and this process goes thus;
  • Light will move through the (cornea) which is situated at the front area of the eyes into lens.
  • Then both the cornea and the lens give room for the focusing of the light rays to the retina which is situated at the back of the eye .
  • Then through the help of the cells in the retina, the light will be absorbed and then be converted to  electrochemical impulses and then transfer it to the brain as well as optic nerve.

Therefore, light wave are form of tiny microscopic particles.

After being struck by a bowling ball, a 1.3 kg bowling pin sliding to the right at 5.0 m/s collides head-on with another 1.3 kg
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

a) 4.2m/s

b) 5.0m/s

Explanation:

This problem is solved using the principle of conservation of linear momentum which states that in a closed system of colliding bodies, the sum of the total momenta before collision is equal to the sum of the total momenta after collision.

The problem is also an illustration of elastic collision where there is no loss in kinetic energy.

Equation (1) is a mathematical representation of the the principle of conservation of linear momentum for two colliding bodies of masses m_1 and m_2 whose respective velocities before collision are u_1 and u_2;

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2..............(1)

where v_1 and v_2 are their respective velocities after collision.

Given;

m_1=1.3kg\\u_1=5m/s\\m_2=1.3kg\\u_2=0m/s

Note that u_2=0 because the second mass m_2 was at rest before the collision.

Also, since the two masses are equal, we can say that m_1=m_2=m so that equation (1) is reduced as follows;

mu_1+mu_2=mv_1+mv_2\\\\m(u_1+u_2)=m(v_1+v_2)..............(2)

m cancels out of both sides of equation (2), and we obtain the following;

u_1+u_2=v_1+v_2.............(3)

a) When v_1=0.8m/s, we obtain the following by equation(3)

5+0=0.8+v_2\\hence\\v_2=5-0.8\\v_2=4.2m/s

b) As m_1 stops moving v_1=0, therefore,

5+0=0+v_2\\v_2=5m/s
