Answer:

0.75m/s^2

Explanation:

3.6-1.2=2.4 m/s (Change in velocity)

2.4/3.2=0.75 m/s/s or m/s^2

platform diving in the olympic games takes place at two heights: 5 meters and 10 meters. What is the velocity of a diver enterin
posledela

1) Velocity: 9.9 m/s and 14 m/s

The motion of the diver is a free-fall motion, so it is a uniform accelerated motion. Choosing downward as positive direction, the final velocity can be found by using the following suvat equation:

v^2-u^2=2as

where

v is the final velocity

u = 0 is the initial velocity (the diver starts from rest)

a=g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

s is the displacement

For the diver jumping from 5 m, s = 5 m, so

v=\sqrt{2as}=\sqrt{2(9.8)(5)}=9.9 m/s

For the diver jumping from 10 m, s = 10 m, so

v=\sqrt{2as}=\sqrt{2(9.8)(10)}=14 m/s

2) Time: 1.01 s and 1.43 s

The time of flight of each diver can be found by using the other suvat equation

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

And since u = 0, it can be reduced to

s=\frac{1}{2}at^2

For the diver jumping from 5 m, s = 5 m, so we find

t=\sqrt{\frac{2s}{a}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(5)}{9.8}}=1.01 s

For the diver jumping from 10 m, s = 10 m, so we find

t=\sqrt{\frac{2s}{a}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(10)}{9.8}}=1.43 s

Mars has twice the mass of Mercury and is 4 times further away from the Sun. Calculate theratio of the gravitational force from
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

F(Mars) = 2 G m M / (4 R)^2   force of Sun on Mars

F(Merc) = G m M / R^2    force of force of Sun on Mercury

R = distance of Sun from Mercury, m = mass of Mercury

F(Merc) / F(Mars) = 4^2 / 2 = 8

Watt-hours is a measure of energy, just like kilowatt-hours. How can you convert this to Joules?
satela [25.4K]

Work with your units:

1 watt-hour = 1 (joule/second) · (hour) = 1 (joule-hour / second)

(1 joule-hour/sec) · (3600 sec/hour) = 3600 joules

So 1 watt-hour = 3,600 joules

a baseball is hit 3 feet above ground level at 100 feet per second and at an angle of 45 with respect to the ground. (g=32 feet/
LiRa [457]

Answer:

hmax=81ft

Explanation:

Maximum height of the object is the highest vertical position along its trajectory.

The vertical velocity is equal to 0 (Vy = 0)

0=V_{y}-g*t=v_{0}*sin(\alpha)-g*th\\

we isolate th (needed to reach the maximum height hmax)

th = \frac{v_{0}*sin(\alpha)}{g}

The formula describing vertical distance is:

y = Vy * t-g* t^{2} / 2

So, given y = hmax and t = th, we can join those two equations together:

hmax = Vy* th-g*th^{2}/2

hmax =Vo^{2}*sin(\alpha )^{2}/(2*g)

if we launch a projectile from some initial height h all you need to do is add this initial elevation

hmax =h+Vo^{2}*sin(\alpha)^{2}/(2*g)

hmax =3+100^{2}*sin(45)^{2}/(2 * 32)=81 ft
