Her kinetic energy when she leaves the cliff
Her total mechanical energy relative to the water surface when she leaves the cliff
Her total mechanical energy relative to the water surface just before she enters the water.

Answer:

1) 2197.44 J

2) 0 J

3) 2197.44 J = Constant

4) 2197.44 J

5) Approximately 8.86 m/s

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of the diver, m = 56 kg

The height of the cliff, h = 4.0 m

The speed with which the diver is moving, vₓ = 8.0 m/s

The gravitational potential energy = Mass, m × Height of the cliff, h × Acceleration due to gravity, g

1) Her gravitational potential energy = 56 × 4.0 × 9.81 = 2197.44 J

2) The kinetic energy = 1/2·m·u²

Where;

u = Her initial velocity = 0 when she just leaves the cliff

Therefore;

Her kinetic energy when she just leaves the cliff = 1/2 × 56 × 0² = 0 J

3) The total mechanical energy = Kinetic energy + Potential energy

The total mechanical energy is constant

Her total mechanical energy relative to the water surface when she leaves the cliff = Her gravitational potential energy = 2197.44 J = Constant

4) Her total mechanical energy relative to the water surface just before she enters the water = 2197.44 J

5) The speed with which she enters the water, v, is given from, v² = u² + 2·g·h

Where;

u = The initial velocity at the top of the cliff before she jumps= 0 m/s

∴ v² = 0² + 2 × 9.81 × 4 = 78.48

v = √78.48 ≈ 8.86 m/s

The speed with which she enters the water, v ≈ 8.86 m/s

Suppose we replace the mass in the video with one that is four times heavier. How far from the free end must we place the pivot

Llana [10]

We must place the pivot to keep the meter stick in balance at 90 cm (10 cm from the weight) from the free end.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

In initial stage, the meter stick’s mass and mass hanged in meter stick at one end are same. Refer figure 1, the mater stick’s weight acts at the stick’s mid-point.

If in case, the meter stick is to be at balanced form, then the acting torques sum would be zero. So,

$m \times g \times(x)+((m \times g)(x-50 \mathrm{cm}))=0$

$(m \times g \times x)-(50 \times m \times g)+(m \times g \times x)=0$

Taking out ‘mg’ as common and we get

$2 x-50=0$

$2 x=50$

$x=\frac{50}{2}=25 \mathrm{cm}$

Hence, the stick should be pivoted at a distance of,

$x^{\prime}=100 \mathrm{cm}-25 \mathrm{cm}=75 \mathrm{cm}$

So, the stick should be pivoted at a distance of 75 cm at the free end

Now, replace mass with another mass. i.e., four times the initial mass (as given)

If in case, the meter stick is to be at balanced form, then the acting torques sum would be zero. So,

$4 m g(x)+(m g)(x-50 c m)=0$

$4 m g x+m g x-50 m g=0$

Taking out ‘mg’ as common and we get

$5 x=50$

$x=\frac{50}{5}=10 \mathrm{cm}$

Hence, the stick should be pivoted at a distance of,

$x^{\prime}=100 \mathrm{cm}-10 \mathrm{cm}=10 \mathrm{cm}$

So, the stick should be pivoted at a distance of 10 cm from the free end.

Therefore, the option B is correct 90 cm (10 cm from the weight).

Finally, you are ready to answer the main question. Cheetahs, the fastest of the great cats, can reach 50.0 miles/hourmiles/hour

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

The acceleration of the cheetahs is 10.1 m/s²

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equation of velocity of an object moving along a straight line with constant acceleration is the following:

v = v0 + a · t

Where:

v = velocity of the object at time t.

v0 = initial velocity.

a = acceleration.

t = time

We know that at t = 2.22 s, v = 50.0 mi/h. The initial velocity, v0, is zero.

Let's convert mi/h into m/s:

50.0 mi/h · (1609.3 m / 1 mi) · (1 h / 3600 s) = 22.4 m/s

Then, using the equation:

v = v0 + a · t

22.4 m/s = 0 m/s + a · 2.22 s

Solving for a:

22.4 m/s / 2.22 s = a

a = 10.1 m/s²

The acceleration of the cheetahs is 10.1 m/s²

A child is riding a bike at a speed of 6m/s with a total kinetic energy of 1224J. If the mass of the child is 30kg, what is the

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

Mass of bike = 38 kg.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is given by the expression, $KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2$ , where m is the mass and v is the velocity.

Here speed of child riding bike = 6 m/s

Mass of child = 30 kg

Total kinetic energy = 1224 J

Let the mass of bike be, m kg

So, total mass of child and bike = (m + 30) kg

Substituting,

$1224 = \frac{1}{2}* (m+30)*6^2\\ \\ m+30=68\\ \\ m=38kg$

So, mass of bike = 38 kg.
