<span>The diver is heading downwards at 12 m/s Ignoring air resistance, the formula for the distance under constant acceleration is d = VT - 0.5AT^2 where V = initial velocity T = time A = acceleration (9.8 m/s^2 on Earth) In this problem, the initial velocity is 2.5 m/s and the target distance will be -7.0 m (3.0 m - 10.0 m = -7.0 m) So let's substitute the known values and solve for T d = VT - 0.5AT^2 -7 = 2.5T - 0.5*9.8T^2 -7 = 2.5T - 4.9T^2 0 = 2.5T - 4.9T^2 + 7 We now have a quadratic equation with A=-4.9, B=2.5, C=7. Using the quadratic formula, find the roots, which are -0.96705 and 1.477251164. Now the diver's velocity will be the initial velocity minus the acceleration due to gravity over the time. So V = 2.5 m/s - 9.8 m/s^2 * 1.477251164 s V = 2.5 m/s - 14.47706141 m/s V = -11.97706141 m/s So the diver is going down at a velocity of 11.98 m/s Now the negative root of -0.967047083 is how much earlier the diver would have had to jump at the location of the diving board. And for grins, let's compute how fast he would have had to jump to end up at the same point. V = 2.5 m/s - 9.8 m/s^2 * (-0.967047083 s) V = 2.5 m/s - (-9.477061409 m/s) V = 2.5 m/s + 9.477061409 m/s V = 11.97706141 m/s And you get the exact same velocity, except it's the opposite sign. In any case, the result needs to be rounded to 2 significant figures which is -12 m/s</span>

Why do scientist use models to study atoms
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
Scientists use models to study atoms, Because atoms are very tiny, and almost impossible to cut open and look inside.. And the center of an atom is the nucleus and that is ever smaller.

Will a solid metal sphere hold a larger elaectric charge than a hollow sphere of the same diameter?Where does the charge reside
melomori [17]
The answer would be no. Both will have same charge, in both caes charge will reside on surface. In case of solid sphere it will be distributed evenly throughout. Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions here.
