C: if it senses unequal currents
Answer:
In physics, a force is any interaction that, when unopposed, will change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity (which includes to begin moving from a state of rest), i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull.
Answer:
10.4 m/s
Explanation:
The problem can be solved by using the following SUVAT equation:
where
v is the final velocity
u is the initial velocity
a is the acceleration
t is the time
For the diver in the problem, we have:
is the initial velocity (positive because it is upward)
is the acceleration of gravity (negative because it is downward)
By substituting t = 1.7 s, we find the velocity when the diver reaches the water:
And the negative sign means that the direction is downward: so, the speed is 10.4 m/s.
Answer:
Li has less mass and therefore less inertia, so he can change his motion more easily than Raj.
Explanation:
Inertia describes the resistance of an object to any change in its state of motion, and it depends on the mass of the object only. In particular:
- if an object has a large inertia (large mass), then it is more difficult to change its state of motion (i.e. to put it in motion, or to slow it down, or to change its direction of motion)
- if an object has small inertia (small mass), then it is more easy to change its state of motion
In this problem, Li has less mass than Raj, so he has less inertia, therefore he can change his motion more easily than Raj.
