A surveyor measures the distance across a straight river by the following method: Starting directly across from a tree on the op

posite bank, he walks x = 112 m along the riverbank to establish a baseline. Then he sights across to the tree. The angle from his baseline to the tree is = 37.8°.

<h3>What is Young's double-slit experiment?</h3>

The double-slit experiment  is an experiment, that shows that light has both a wave nature or characteristic and a particle nature or characteristic, and that these natures are inseparable.

So, light is said to have wave–particle duality rather than be only a wave or only a particle. The same is true for electrons and other quantum particles.

According to the question,

The relative to angle θ, its adjacent side has length x and its opposite side is equal to width of the river, y;

tanθ = \frac{y}{d} = y = dtanθ

y =( 112m) tan (37.8° )

y ≈  11.3380m

The width of river is 11.3380m

Earth's gravitational pull just got threetimes stronger! what happens to your weight/
OLga [1]
Hold on and let's discuss this realistically.

Because of gravity, there are two forces between the Earth and me. One draws me toward the Earth. The strength of that force is what I call my "weight". The other force draws the Earth toward me, and has the same strength.

The strength of these forces depends on the masses of the Earth and me. If the strength just tripled, that means that at least one of us just picked up a lot more mass. If the Earth suddenly became three times as massive, then the weight of everything and everybody on it would suddenly triple, and I'm pretty sure it would be the end of all of us before too long.

If it was only MY mass that suddenly tripled, that would mean that I had gone tearing through my house and the neighbour's house, eating everything in sight including the 2 couches, 3 dogs, and 6 TVs. Naturally, just as you would expect, my weight changed from 207 to 621, and my skin is stretched really tight.

A diver jumps off a cliff 50m high and needs to clear the rock that extend outward 5.0m from the base of the cliff. The diver ju
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

He should run at least at 1.5 m/s

The diver will enter the water at an angle of 87° below the horizontal.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The position and velocity of the diver are given by the following vectors:

r = (x0 + v0x · t, y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²)

v = (v0x, v0y + g · t)

Where:

r = position vector at time t

x0 = initial horizontal position

v0x = initial horizontal velocity

t = time

y0 = initial vertical position

v0y = initial vertical velocity

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the  upward direction as positive)

v = velocity vector at time t

Please, see the attached figure for a description of the problem. Notice that the origin of the frame of reference is located at the jumping point so that x0 and y0 = 0.

We know that, to clear the rocks, the position vector r final (see figure) should be:

r final = ( > 5.0 m, -50 m)

So let´s find first at which time the y-component of the vector r final is - 50 m:

y = y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²

-50 m = 2.1 m/s · t - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

0 = -4.9 m/s² · t² + 2.1 m/s · t + 50 m

Solving the quadratic equation

t = 3.4 s

Now, we can calculate the initial horizontal velocity using the equation of the x-component of the position vector knowing that at t =3.4 the horizontal component should be greater than 5.0 m:

x = x0 + v0x · t      (x0 = 0)

5.0 m < v0x · 3.4 s

v0x > 5.0 m / 3.4 s

v0x > 1.5 m/s

The initial horizontal velocity should be greater than 1.5 m/s

To find the angle at which the diver enters the water, we have to find the magnitude of the final velocity (vector vf in the figure). We already know the magnitude of the x-component of the vector vf, since the horizontal velocity is constant. So:

vfx > 1.5 m/s

Now, let´s calculate vfy:

vfy = v0y + g · t

vfy = 2.1 m/s - 9.8 m/s² · 3.4 s

vfy = -31 m/s

Let´s calculate the minimum magnitude that the final velocity will have if the diver safely clears the rocks. Let´s consider the smallest value allowed for vfx: 1.5 m/s. Then:

|v| = \sqrt{(1.5 m/s)^{2} + (31m/s)^{2}} = 31 m/s

Then the final velocity of the diver will be greater or equal than 31 m/s.

To find the angle, we have to use trigonometry. Notice in the figure that the vectors vf, vfx and vy form a right triangle in which vf is the hypotenuse, vfx is the adjacent side and vfy is the opposite side to the angle. Then:

cos θ = adjacent / hypotenuse = vfx / vf = 1.5 m/s / 31 m/s

θ = 87°

The diver will enter the water at an angle of 87° below the horizontal.
