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

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

31.55 m/s

Explanation:

Let the initial velocity of the arrow is u metre per second.

Angle of projection, θ = 40 degree

range = 100 m

Use the formula for the range.

R = \frac{u^{2}Sin2\theta }{g}

100 = u^2 Sin(2 x 40) / 9.8

100 x 9.8 = u^2 Sin 80

u^2 = 995.11

u = 31.55 m/s

Perform the following mathematical operation and report answer to the correct number of significant figures 143.6 divided by 21.
Svetllana [295]

The answer to the correct number of significant figures is 6.774.

<h3>What is quotient?</h3>

When a number(big) divided smaller number, the answer obtained greater than zero is called a quotient.

Divide 143.6 ÷ 21.2

143.6/21.2 = 1436/212

                  =6.77358

The quotient is rounded to three significant figures after decimal

143.6 ÷ 21.2 = 6.774

Thus, the answer to the correct number of significant figures is 6.774

A flare is launched from a life raft with an initial velocity of 192 ft/sec. How many seconds will it take for the flare to retu
DIA [1.3K]

We use the formula,

h= ut- 16 t^2

Here, h is the  variable  represents the height of the flare  in feet when it returns to the sea so, h = 0 and u is the initial velocity of the flare, in feet per second and its value of 192 ft/sec.

Substituting these values in above equation, we get

0 = 192 t - 16 t^2  \\\\ 16 t( 12 - t ) =0 \\\\ t = 12 s.

Here, t= 0 neglect because it is  the time when the flare is launched.

Thus, flare return to the sea in 12 s.

What happens if the air pressure in your throat and outside body is less than the air pressure in your middle ear when you swall
andrezito [222]

Answer:

When the air pressure in the throat and outside the body is less than the air pressure in the middle ear, barotrauma occurs.

Explanation:

Ear barotrauma is a medical condition that describes discomfort in the ear which is caused by pressure differences in the inner and outer ear drum.

Usually, the air pressure in the middle ear is the same as the air pressure in the throat and outside the body.

When we swallow, the eustachian tube opens up and air flows out of and into the middle ear, this balances the pressure. But if the eustachian tube is blocked, the air pressure in the throat and outer body become different from the air pressure in the middle ear.
