Answer:

t = 0.78 s

Explanation:

Given that,

The height of a diving board, h = 3 m

We need to find the time it take for him to reach the water. Let the time is t./

Using second equation of motion as follows :

h=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

u is initial velocity, u = 0 and a = g

So,

h=\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2h}{g}} \\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\cdot3}{9.8}}\\\\t=0.78\ s

So, it will take 0.78 seconds to reach the water.

Daniel [21]

Answer:

Find the explanation below.

Explanation:

Earth is properly designed to support life. This is seen in the favorable temperature that supports life, the water cycle that recycles water for plant and animal life, the atmosphere, energy, and nutrients.

1. Temperature: The temperature which is regulated by the different weather conditions such as the rains, snows, dry seasons all help to maintain a stable condition for life.

2. Water: The water cycle through processes like evaporation, condensation, precipitation, helps to ensure that there is never a lack of water in the earth. The numerous water bodies like the seas, oceans, rivers, lakes, also provide a habitat for some living things. Water makes up 70% of the earth.

3. Atmosphere: The atmosphere is a mixture of gases in the right proportions that are necessary for life. Oxygen, Nitrogen, Carbon, etc are released and inhaled by man and other living things. They are also involved in so many biochemical reactions that help in metabolism and catabolism.

4. Energy: Energy generated from the sun and within the earth is stored in various forms and is always conserved. This energy is converted to different states such as the potential, chemical, kinetic, mechanical forms to get work done and to release heat.

5. Nutrients​: Though cycles such as the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and phosphorous cycles, the earth maintains its stock of essential nutrients that help to sustain life.

Which electromagnetic wave has the lowest frequencies (less than 3×109 hertz)?
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Radio waves

Explanation:

The electromagnetic spectrum includes all different types of waves, which are usually classified depending on their frequency. Ordering them from the highest frequency to the lowest frequency, they are:

- Gamma rays

- X-rays

- Ultraviolet

- Visible light

- Infrared radiation

- Microwaves

- Radio waves

Radio waves are the electromagnetic waves with lowest frequency, their frequency is lower than 300 GHz (3\cdot 10^{11} Hz) and therefore they are the electromagnetic waves with lowest energy (in fact, the energy of an electromagnetic wave is proportional to its frequency). They are generally used for radio and telecommunications since this type of waves can travel up to long distances.

A ball is attached to a vertical spring. The ball is initially supported at a height y so that the spring is neither stretched n
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

All the three quantities will have non zero joules.

Explanation:

At the initial position of rest the system will have only gravitational potential energy while the other 2 quantities will be zero.

when the system reaches a height (y-h) only kinetic energy will be zero while the other 2 quantities will be non zero

At the position of (y-h/2) all the 3 quantities will be non zero.
