A swimmer bounces straight up from a diving board and falls feet first into a pool. She starts with a velocity of 4.00 m/s, and

her takeoff point is 1.90 m above the pool.
Required:
a. What is her highest point above the board?
b. How long a time are her feet in the air?
c. What is her velocity when her feet hit the water?

Answer:

a = 1.152s

b = 0.817 m

c = 7.29m/s

Explanation: let the following

From the first equation of linear motion

V = u+at..........1

parameters be represented as :

t = Time taken

v = Final velocity

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

u = Initial velocity = 4 m/s

s = Displacement

V = 0

Substitute the values into equation 1

0 = 4-9.8(t)

-4 = -9.8t

t = 4/9.8

t = 0.408s

From : s = ut+1/2at^2.........2

S = 4×0.408+0.5(-9.8)×0.408^2

S= 1.632-4.9(0.166)

S = 1.632-0.815

S = 0.817m

Her highest height above the board is 0.817 m

Total height she would fall is 0.817+1.90 = 2.717 m

From equation 2

s = ut+1/2at^2

2.717 m = 0t+0.5(9.8)t^2

2.717 m = 0+4.9t^2

2.717 m = 4.9t^2

2.717/4.9 = t^2

0.554 =t^2

t =√0.554

t = 0.744s

Hence, her feet were in the air for 0.744+0.408seconds

= 1.152s

Also recall from equation 1

V= u+at

V = 0+9.8(0.744)

V = 7.29m/s

Hence, the velocity when she hits the water is 7.29m/s

Finally,

a = 1.152s

b = 0.817 m

c = 7.29m/s

How much heat is absorbed by a 450g gold block as energy from the sun causes its temperature to change from 27°C to 32°C? (Speci
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

Q = 1057.5 [cal]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must use the following equation of thermal energy.

Q=m*C_{p}*(T_{final}-T_{initial})

where:

Q = heat energy [cal]

Cp = specific heat = 0.47 [cal/g*°C]

T_final = final temperature = 32 [°C]

T_initial = initial temperature = 27 [°C]

m = mass of the substance = 450 [g]

Now replacing:

Q=450*0.47*(32-27)\\Q=1057.5[cal]
