How much time does it take a person to walk 12 km north at a velocity of 6.5 km?

1 hour, 50 minutes, 46.15 seconds


What is initial velocity?

Initial velocity is the original starting velocity. I love math! It makes you smart like a math smart person.

100 seconds


How far will a person fall in 10 seconds?

1,100 to 1,300 feet.


A 180 lb person jumps from 16 story building how fast do they fall?

32 feet per second per second is the standard acceleration.As the object accelerates (usually downwards due to gravity), the drag force acting on the object increases. At a particular speed, the drag force produced will be equal to the downward force, mostly the weight (mg), of the object. Eventually, it plummets at a constant speed called terminal velocity (also called settling velocity). Terminal velocity varies directly with the ratio of drag to weight. More drag means a lower terminal velocity, while increased weight means a higher terminal velocity. An object moving downward at greater than terminal velocity (for example because it was affected by a force downward or it fell from a thinner part of the atmosphere or it changed shape) will slow until it reaches the terminal velocity. For example, the terminal velocity of a skydiver in a free-fall position with a semi-closed parachute is about 195 km/h (120 mph or 55m/s).[1] This velocity is the asymptotic limiting value of the acceleration process, since the effective forces on the body more and more closely balance each other as the terminal velocity is approached. In this example, a speed of 50% of terminal velocity is reached after only about 3 seconds, while it takes 8 seconds to reach 90%, 15 seconds to reach 99% and so on. Higher speeds can be attained if the skydiver pulls in his limbs (see also freeflying). In this case, the terminal velocity increases to about 320 km/h (200 mph or 89 m/s),[1] which is also the maximum speed of the peregrine falcon diving on its prey.[2] Competition speed skydivers fly in the head down position reaching even higher speeds. The current world record is 614 mph (988 km/h) by Joseph Kittinger, set at high altitude where the lesser density of the atmosphere decreased drag.[1] An object falling on Earth will fall 9.80 meters per second faster every second (9.8 m/s²). The reason an object reaches a terminal velocity is that the drag force resisting motion is directly proportional to the square of its speed. At low speeds, the drag is much less than the gravitational force and so the object accelerates. As it accelerates, the drag increases, until it equals the weight. Drag also depends on the projected area. This is why things with a large projected area, such as parachutes, have a lower terminal velocity than small objects such as cannon balls.

How many seconds does it take a person who stepped off a twelve foot high diving board with zero initial velocity to hit the water?

It would take approximately 1.5 seconds for a person to hit the water after stepping off a twelve-foot high diving board with zero initial velocity. This time can vary slightly depending on factors such as air resistance and the exact height of the diving board.


What is the average velocity of a person who runs five meters in ten seconds?

.5 meters per second.

A person walks at a velocity of 1.5 ms. How far could he walk in 30 minutes travelling at the same velocity?

The person could walk 2.7 kilometers in 30 minutes at a velocity of 1.5 m/s. This is calculated by multiplying the velocity (1.5 m/s) by the time (30 minutes, which is 1800 seconds). 1.5 m/s x 1800 s = 2700 meters = 2.7 kilometers.


Who has the world record in diving?

A person that is good at it.


Is a diving board a lever?

Yes it is. A diving board is a Class 1 lever. The fulcrum is the screws that hold the diving board in place (the rigid part), the load is the person and the effort force is the force the person exerts when he/she braces herself/himself to jump.


What is the velocity of someone going north on main street for 1800 m then south on main street for 2200 m and the total time is 400 seconds?

The person travels a total of 4000 m in 400 seconds, so their average speed is 10m/s. However velocity is a vector quantity, and is defined as displacement/time. The total displacement is only 400 m, so the average velocity is just 1m/s.

Where can one find information on cave diving?

One can find information on cave diving through the cave diving website. Another website to look at is Waves n Caves, and if a person wants to know specifically about cave diving in Britain they can search the cave diving group website.
