<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>

Consider the system consisting of the box and the spring, but not Earth. How does the energy of the system when the spring is fu
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

the energy when it reaches the ground is equal to the energy when the spring is compressed.

Explanation:

For this comparison let's use the conservation of energy theorem.

Starting point. Compressed spring

         Em₀ = K_e = ½ k x²

Final point. When the box hits the ground

         Em_f = K = ½ m v²

since friction is zero, energy is conserved

          Em₀ = Em_f

          1 / 2k x² = ½ m v²

          v = \sqrt{ \frac{k}{m} }     x

Therefore, the energy when it reaches the ground is equal to the energy when the spring is compressed.

You are riding a bicycle. If you apply a forward force of 125 N, and you and
erica [24]

Answer:

1.52g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Force  = 125N

Mass combined  = 82kg

Unknown:

Acceleration of the bicycle  = ?

Solution:

From Newton second law of motion suggests that:

   Force = mass x acceleration

  Acceleration = \frac{force}{mass}  = \frac{125}{82}   = 1.52g

Electromagnetic waves differ from the other types of waves because they are
Ronch [10]

Correct answer choice is :



B) Able to travel through a vacuum.



Explanation:



Electromagnetic waves are applied to carry long/short/FM wavelength radio waves, and TV/telephone/wireless signals or services. They are also effective for transferring energy in the form of microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet light, X-rays, and gamma rays. Electromagnetic waves change from mechanical waves in that they do not need a medium to generate. This means that electromagnetic waves can move not only in the air and solid matters but also in the void of space.
