Answer:

(a) the height of the diving board is 22.896 m

(b) the horizontal distance traveled by the girl is 7.02 m

(c) if she had just drop off the board, her time to drop to the water would have been longer.

Explanation:

Given;

initial speed of the girl, u = 3.9 m/s

time to hit the water, t = 1.8 s

(a) the height of the diving board is calculated as;

h = ut + ¹/₂gt²

h = (3.9 x 1.8)  +  ¹/₂ x 9.8 x 1.8²

h = 7.02 + 15.876

h =  22.896 m

(b) the horizontal distance traveled by the girl is calculated as;

X = ut

X = 3.9 x 1.8

X = 7.02 m

(c) if she just drop off the board, then the initial speed will be zero;

h = ut + ¹/₂gt²

h = 0 + ¹/₂gt²

2h = gt²

t^2 = \frac{2h}{g} \\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} } \\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2 \ \times\ 22.896 }{9.8} }\\\\t = 2.16 \ s

Thus, if she had just dropped off the board, her time to drop to the water would have been longer.

2. Adelia holds a shiny steel spoon with its back (convex surface) facing her eyes at a distance
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

(a) The convex mirror image, is always upright at all positions, while images formed by concave mirrors are always inverted when the object distance from the mirror is more than the mirrors focal length.

(b) An upright image is not seen for object at a distance from a concave mirror further than the focal length of the mirror, which is the spoon in the question

Therefore, the location of her eyes of approximately, 30 cm,  from the mirror is more than the mirror's focal length

Uranium-235 decays to thorium-231 with a half-life of 700 million years. When a rock was formed, it contained 6400 million urani
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

proof in explanation

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the number of half-lives:

n = \frac{t}{t_{1/2}}

where,

n = no. of half-lives = ?

t = total time passed = 2100 million years

t_{1/2} = half-life = 700 million years

Therefore,

n = \frac{2100\ million\ years}{700\ million\ years}\\\\n = 3

Now, we will calculate the number of uranium nuclei left (n_u):

n_u = \frac{1}{2^{n} }(total\ nuclei)\\\\n_u = \frac{1}{2^{3} }(6400\ million)\\\\n_u = \frac{1}{8}(6400\ million)\\\\n_u =  800\ million

and the rest of the uranium nuclei will become thorium nuclei (u_{th})

n_{th} = total\ nuclei - n_u\\n_{th} = 6400\ million-800\ million\\n_{th} = 5600\ million

dividing both:

\frac{n_{th}}{n_u}=\frac{5600\ million}{800\ million} \\\\n_{th} = 7n_u

<u>Hence, it is proven that after 2100 million years there are seven times more thorium nuclei than uranium nuclei in the rock.</u>

Which describes what an outside observer at rest would observe about a spaceship that speeds up and approaches the speed of ligh
Art [367]
The outside observer, at rest relative to the spaceship, would see the spaceship
get shorter. and the clocks on the spaceship run slower than they should.

At the same time, the crew of the spaceship, looking back at the observer on
Earth, would see the observer on Earth get shorter, and the observer's clock
run slower than it should.

They would both be measuring what they see correctly.
