Answer:

Explanation:

Given

initial velocity u = 15m/s

Height below the water = 25m

a) Using the equation of motion S = (v+u)/2 * t

25 = 0+15/2 * t

25 = 7.5t

t = 25/7.5

t = 3.33s

Hence it will take 3.33secs to reach the water

b) The horizontal distance is expressed as;

S = Uxt

S = 15(3.33)

S = 50m

Hence the horizontal distance from the cliff where the car entered the water is 50m

c) The velocity of the car v.

Using the equation of motion;

v² = u²+2gS

v² = 15²+2(9.8)(25)

v² = 225+490

v = √715

v = 26.74m/s

Hence the car hit the water at the velocity of 26.74m.s

A bowling ball moving with a velocity of 5V to the right collides elastically with a beach ball moving at a velocity 2V to the l

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

$v'_2=3V$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Bowling ball Speed $v_1=5 m/s$

Beach ball Speed $v_2=2 m/s$

Let The Mass be equal i.e

$M_1=M_2$

Therefore

Generally the equation for Velocity of beach ball after collision $v'_2$ is mathematically given by

Since Velocity is Vector Quantity

Therefore

$v'_2=v_1-v_2$

$v'_2=5-2$

$v'_2=3V$

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

5.959 m/s

Explanation:

m = Mass of gymnast

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

$h_i$ = Initial height

$h_f$ = Final height

From conservation of Energy

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2+mgh_f=\frac{1}{2}mu^2+mgh_i\\\Rightarrow\frac{1}{2}mv^2+mg0=\frac{1}{2}m0^2+mgh_i\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh_i\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2gh_i}$

$h_i=2r$

$v=\sqrt{4gr}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{4\times 9.81\times 0.905}\\\Rightarrow v=5.959\ m/s$

Velocity of gymnast at bottom of swing is 5.959 m/s
