Answer:
1. G.P.E = 24 J
2. center of mass
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Mass = 2kg
Height, h = 1.2m
Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 N/kg or m/s².
To find the gravitational potential energy;
Gravitational potential energy (GPE) is an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position above the earth.
Mathematically, gravitational potential energy is given by the formula;

Where;
- G.P.E represents potential energy measured in Joules.
- m represents the mass of an object.
- g represents acceleration due to gravity measured in meters per seconds square.
- h represents the height measured in meters.
Substituting into the formula, we have;

G.P.E = 23.52 to 2 S.F = 24 Joules.
Translation kinetic energy is defined as the energy of a system due to the motion of the system’s center of mass. The center of mass is typically where the mass of the object or particle is concentrated.
Yes,it's true ok? So how have you been doing
Answer:

Explanation:
From the question we are told that:
Height 
Time 
Generally the Newton's equation for Initial velocity upward is mathematically given by



Generally the velocity at elevation and depression occurs as ball arrives and passes through S=28


Generally the Newton's equation for time to reach initial velocity is mathematically given by




<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>
