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

It is known that birds can detect the earth's magnetic field, but the mechanism of how they do this is not known. It has been su
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

EMF = 5.01 \times 10^{-4} Volts

Explanation:

Here we know that the EMF induced in this Field is given as

EMF = vBL

here B = perpendicular component of magnetic field

v = speed of the bird

L = length of the wings

now we have

B = 5\times 10^{-5} sin40

v = 13 m/s

L = 1.2 m

now we have

EMF = (13)(3.21 \times 10^{-5})(1.2)

EMF = 5.01 \times 10^{-4} Volts

What is an atomic theory?
seraphim [82]

Answer: the theory that all matter is made up of tiny indivisible particles (atoms). According to the modern version, the atoms of each element are effectively identical, but differ from those of other elements, and unite to form compounds in fixed proportions.

olga2289 [7]
The correct answer is C) frequency.
In fact, the frequency is the number of wave crests (or pulses) per seconds. In our problem, the machine that produces the wave pulses two times per second, so this is exactly the frequency of the compression wave.

What is the greatest distance an image can be located behind a convex spherical mirror?
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

Maximum distance of image from mirror is equal to focal length of the mirror

Explanation:

As we know by the equation of mirror we have

\frac{1}{d_i} + \frac{1}{d_o} = \frac{1}{f}

here we know for convex mirror

object position is always negative as it will be placed behind the mirror always

while the focal length of the convex mirror is always taken positive

So here we have

\frac{1}{d_i} + \frac{1}{-d_o} = \frac{1}{f}

\frac{1}{d_i} = \frac{1}{d_o} + \frac{1}{f}

so here maximum value of image distance is equal to focal length of the mirror
