The energy that was lost due to air resistance while she was bouncing is determined as 3,360 J.

<h3>Conservation of energy</h3>

The amount of energy lost due to air resistance while she was bouncing is determined from the principle of conservation of energy.

ΔE = P.E - Ux

ΔE = mgh - ¹/₂kx²

ΔE = (50)(9.8)(16) - ¹/₂(35)(16)²

ΔE = 3,360 J

Thus, the energy that was lost due to air resistance while she was bouncing is determined as 3,360 J.

KIM [24]

Answer:

A) 1.5 v

B) Top plate is at higher voltage than the bottom plate

Explanation:

Battery value set between 0.0 V and 1.5 V

a) The potential difference between the plates

Δ V = V1( potential at top plate) - V2( potential at lower plate )

potential at top plate = 1.5 V

potential at lower plate = 0.0 V

hence potential difference = 1.5 V

b ) The top plate is always connected to the positive terminal of the DC source ( which is at a higher potential )while the bottom plate is connected to the negative terminal of the DC source ( which is at a lower potential )

hence the Top plate is at higher voltage than the bottom plate

A ship sets sail from Rotterdam, The Netherlands, heading due north at 8.00 m/s relative to the water. The local ocean current i

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

The velocity of the ship relative to the earth V = 9.05 $\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

The local ocean current is = 1.52 m/s

Direction $\theta$ = 40°

Velocity component in X - direction $V_{x}$ = 1.52 $\cos 40$ °

$V_{x}$ = 1.164 $\frac{m}{s}$

Velocity component in Y - direction $V_{y}$ = 8 + 1.52 $\sin 40$ °

$V_{y}$ = 8.97 $\frac{m}{s}$

The velocity of the ship relative to the earth

$V = \sqrt{V_{x}^{2} + V_{y} ^{2} }$

Put the values of $V_{x}$ and $V_{y}$ we get,

⇒ $V = \sqrt{1.164^{2} + 8.97 ^{2} }$

⇒ V = 9.05 $\frac{m}{s}$

This is the velocity of the ship relative to the earth.

A ray is incident on a film of thickness t and the index of refraction n=1.6 at an angle θ = 35 degrees. Find the angle of refra

lidiya [134]

Answer

Given,

refractive index of film, n = 1.6

refractive index of air, n' = 1

angle of incidence, i = 35°

angle of refraction, r = ?

Using Snell's law

n' sin i = n sin r

1 x sin 35° = 1.6 x sin r

r = 21°

Angle of refraction is equal to 21°.

Now,

distance at which refractive angle comes out

d = 2.5 mm

α be the angle with horizontal surface and incident ray.

α = 90°-21° = 69°

t be the thickness of the film.

So,

$tan \alpha = \dfrac{t}{d/2}$

$tan 61^0 = \dfrac{t}{2.5/2}$

t = 2.26 mm

Hence, the thickness of the film is equal to 2.26 mm.
