Explanation:

The formula for KE ( Kinetic Energy ) is : 1/2 mv²

Solution:

  • First we solve for v ( velocity ) using the formula 2gh, where g is gravity [ 9.8 m/s² ] and h is height [ 1.25 m ]

= 2 ( 9.8 m/s² × 1.25 m ) = 24.5 m/s

  • The velocity is 24.5 m/s.

  • Now solve for KE using the formula 1/2 mv²

= 1/2 ( 40 kg × 24.5m/s ² )

= 1/2 ( 40 kg × 600.25 )

= 1/2 ( 24,010 )

= 12,005 Joules

  • The diver's kinetic energy is 12,005 J.

What evidence supports the theory that there is a black hole at the center of our galaxy?
777dan777 [17]

Explanation:

Scientist and astronomers have observed that large gas clouds and massive stars are orbiting around in an accelerated manner in center of our galaxy that is milky way. A massive star S2's motion has been studied and it is found that the star is revolving around the center of the galaxy. From this scientist have confirmed presence of super massive black hole of 3 million solar masses lurking around the center of milky way.
