A 50 kg person steps off a diving platform that is 10 meters above the water below (Olympic height). With what speed do they hit

the water?

Answer:

14 m/s

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass = 50 kg

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Height (h) = 10 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Final velocity (v) =?

The velocity (v) with which the person hit the water can be obtained as shown below:

v² = u² + 2gh

v² = 0² + (2 × 9.8 × 10)

v² = 0 + 196

v² = 196

Take the square root of both side

v = √196

v = 14 m/s

Therefore, he will hit the water with a speed of 14 m/s

A solid uniform disk of diameter 3.20 m and mass 42 kg rolls without slipping to the bottom of a hill, starting from rest. if th
aalyn [17]

Answer:

Height reached by the ball, h = 3.57 meters

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the disk, m = 42 kg

Diameter of the disk, d = 3.2 m

Radius, r = 1.6 m

Angular speed of the disk, \omega=4.27\ rad/s

The kinetic energy of the disk is equal to its potential energy. Using the conservation of energy as :

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2+\dfrac{1}{2}I\omega^2=mgh

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2+\dfrac{1}{2}(mr^2/2)\omega^2=mgh

\dfrac{1}{2}v^2+\dfrac{1}{2}(r^2/2)\omega^2=gh

\dfrac{1}{2}(r\omega)^2+\dfrac{1}{2}(r^2/2)\omega^2=gh

\dfrac{1}{2}(1.6\times 4.27)^2+\dfrac{1}{2}(1.6^2/2)\times 4.27^2=gh

h=\dfrac{35.0071}{9.8}

h = 3.57 meters

So, the solid disk will reach to a height of 3.57 meters.

A capacitor is charged to a potential of 12.0 V and is then connected to a voltmeter having an internal resistance of 3.90 MΩ. A
iren2701 [21]

Explanation:

(a)  Formula to calculate the capacitance is as follows.

           V_{c} = V_{o} (e^(\frac{-t}{RC}))

Now, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

          V_{c} = V_{o} (e^(\frac{-t}{RC}))

          3.5 V = 12 V (e^(\frac{-3.50 sec}{3.90 \times C}))

    e^(\frac{-3.50 sec}{3.90 \times C}) = 0.291

or,       \frac{-3.50 sec}{3.90 \times C} = ln (0.291)

      \frac{-3.50 sec}{3.90 \times C} = -1.23

              C = 0.729 F

Hence, the value of capacitance is 0.729 F.

(b)   Formula to calculate the constant of circuit is as follows.

               T = R \times C

                  = 3.1 \times 0.729

                  = 2.259 sec

Therefore, the time constant of the circuit is 2.259 sec.

Which of the following are a units of energy? Select all that apply.
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

Hey there

Your answer should be Joules, Watts, and J/s.

The joule

The joule (pronounced jool) is a derived unit of energy in the International System of Units. It is equal to the energy transferred to (or work done on) an object when a force of one newton acts on that object in the direction of the force's motion through a distance of one metre (1 newton-metre or N⋅m). It is also the energy dissipated as heat when an electric current of one ampere passes through a resistance of one ohm for one second. It is named after the English physicist James Prescott Joule (1818–1889).

The Watt

The watt (symbol: W) is a unit of power or radiant flux. In the International System of Units (SI), it is defined as a derived unit of (in SI base units)[1][2] 1 kg⋅m2⋅s−3 or, equivalently,[3] 1 joule per second (J/s). It is used to quantify the rate of energy transfer. The watt is named after James Watt (1736-1819), an 18th-century Scottish inventor.

HELP ASAP Miguel claims that as a ball falls, it loses potential energy. Izzy claims that as a ball falls, it
Bogdan [553]

Answer and Explanation:

They are both correct.

This is because potential energy is when there is potential for the object to have energy, while kinetic energy is energy that is moving already.

So, as the ball falls, it loses its potential energy, or "still/Stalled" energy, and gains kinetic energy, or moving energy.
