Hello, anybody if you
a swimmer runs horizontally off a diving board with a speed of 3.62m/s and hits the water a horizontal distance of 1.68m from the end of the board. (a.) how high above the water was the diving board? (b) if the swimmer runs off the board with a reduced speed, does it take more, less, or the same time to reach the water?
you! : )

This is called "projectile motion". The projectile can be a baseball,
a bullet, a golf ball, or a rock that somebody tossed. In this story,
the swimmer is the projectile.

In projectile motion, the projectile is moving part horizontally and part
vertically at the same time. The thing to remember about this kind of
motion is: The horizontal motion doesn't change, but the vertical motion
changes because of gravity ... just like an apple that fell from a tree.

The swimmer runs straight horizontally off the diving board. His horizontal speed is 3.62 m/s. He hits the water 1.68 m from the end of the board. How long did it take him to go that far ?

   Time = (distance) / (speed)

   = (1.68 m) / (3.62 m/s)

   = (1.68 / 3.62) seconds

   =    0.464 second .

(a).
How high above the water was the diving board ?
Well, the swimmer was falling for 0.464 second .
The height is whatever it takes 0.464 second to fall.

   Height = (1/2) x (acceleration of gravity) x (time)²

      = (1/2) x (9.8 m/s²)    x (0.464 sec)²

=    (4.9 m/s²)    x (0.2153 sec²)

=    (4.9 x 0.2153) meters

=    1.055 meters .

(b).
If the swimmer runs off the board slower, his horizontal speed is
lower. That only affects how far out in front of the board he'll be
when he hits the water. But his horizontal speed has no effect
on how long it takes him to fall to the water. That's his vertical
speed, and it only depends on gravity.
No matter how fast or slow he runs off the board, or if he just
stands there at the end and leans over until he falls, it takes him
the same time to reach the water in every case.

How do the measurements of charge at the different locations on the sphere compare to each other? the charge measurements are different at all locations on the sphere. the charge measurements are virtually not the same at all locations on the sphere except for the charge at the very top and at the very bottom that are equal. the charge measurements are virtually the same at all locations on the sphere except for the charge at the very top. at the top, the conductive sphere has a small disk that is made of different material. the charge measurements are the same at all locations on the sphere. what happens to the charge on the conductive sphere when it is connected to a source of charge such as the electrostatic voltage source? nothing will happen because no charge goes around the surface of the sphere. the charge on the conductive sphere spreads out over the surface of the sphere; being greater in some specific locations on the sphere. the charge on the conductive sphere spreads out uniformly over the surface of the sphere. the charge on the conductive sphere spreads out non-uniformly over the surface of the sphere.

Click the game tab at the bottom of the simulation and select level 1. (there is no seesaw balance for this part of the activity.) balance the first equation, and click check to see if you got it right. if you can’t balance it in the first try, you can try again. work through the five equations for level 1. click continue to go on to level 2, and later level 3. each level is more difficult than the one before. keep trying until all the equations are balanced. in one or two sentences, describe how you did in the balancing game. in a few more sentences, explain one strategy you learned for balancing more complex equations.

Antireflective coatings on solar cells are often made by applying a thin film of silicon nitride (sinx), which has an index of refractive of 1.2, on the top of the silicon solar cell, which has a refractive index of about 3.5. however, the sun emits radiation of various wavelengths which the solar cell absorbs, and the antireflective coating can only absolutely minimize the reflection of one of these wavelengths. the coating thickness is chosen to reduce the reflection of green/yellow light (e = 2.2 ev), which is the most intense color in the solar spectrum (shown below). which of the following coatings would minimize reflection of green/yellow light? the answer is 820 nm how? what is the angular width of the central maximum of an electron traveling at 2 x 108 m/s going through a single slit of width 1 mm.
