Answer:

Bent knees

Explanation:

Depending the height your jumping from, if you were jumping from a high structure it's best if you jump and land on knees so you dont sprang your ankles from jumping and landing on your straight legs, you could even pull a muscle if you land on straight legs.

aliina [53]
For the first part, we are looking for Vf when dy=11.0
Upward is positive, downward is negative. 
So <span>Vf = square root [2(-9.8)(11.0) + (18.0)^2] </span>
<span>Vf = 10.4 m/s your answer is correct. 

For the part b, t is equals to the time took to reach and dy is equals to 11.0
you did, </span>11= 18t m/s-(1/2) 9.8t^2 then <span>-11 + 18t- 9.8t^2. By quadratic formula, for the way down the answer is 2.9 s while on it's way up, the answer is 0.77 s</span><span>

Tasya [4]

Answer:

The resistance is 0.124 ohm.

Explanation:

It is common for domestic electrical installations to use copper wire with a diameter of 2.05 mm. Determine the resistance of such a wire with a length of 24.0 m.

diameter, d = 2.05 mm

radius, r = 1.025 mm

Length, L = 24 m

resistivity of copper = 1.7 x 10^-8 ohm m

Let the resistance is R.

R =\rho \frac{L}{A}\\\\R = \frac {1.7\times10^{-8}\times 24}{3.14\times1.025\times1.025\times 10^{-6}}\\\\R = 0.124 ohm

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

Waves; wavelength; electromagnetic energy; ultraviolet light.

Explanation:

Sound are mechanical waves that are highly dependent on matter for their propagation and transmission.

Sound travels faster through solids than it does through either liquids or gases.

Light wave can be defined as an electromagnetic wave that do not require a medium of propagation for it to travel through a vacuum of space where no particles exist.

Hence, sound and light are both found as waves, with a variety of wavelength. The sun, a source of light waves specifically, releases a type of electromagnetic energy. It can be found as UVA or UVB types. These lights give off different levels of ultraviolet light, some of wich can be harmful.

Additionally, the ultraviolet spectrum is divided into three categories and these are; UVA, UVB and UVC.
