Answer: 80m

Explanation:

Distance of balloon to the ground is 3150m

Let the distance of Menin's pocket to the ground be x

Let the distance between Menin's pocket to the balloon be y

Hence, x=3150-y------1

Using the equation of motion,

V^2= U^s + 2gs--------2

U= initial speed is 0m/s

g is replaced with a since the acceleration is under gravity (g) and not straight line (a), hence g is taken as 10m/s

40m/s is contant since U (the coin is at rest is 0) hence V =40m/s

Slotting our values into equation 2

40^2= 0^2 + 2 * 10* (3150-y)

1600 = 0 + 63000 - 20y

1600 - 63000 = - 20y

-61400 = - 20y minus cancel out minus on both sides of the equation

61400 = 20y

Hence y = 61400/20

3070m

Hence, recall equation 1

x = 3150 - 3070

80m

I hope this solve the problem.

Material speed of light

Cloud [144]

The question is poor. Light doesn't refract on its way THROUGH anything. It refracts at the boundary BETWEEN two different media. The effect is greatest where the ratio of the speeds of light in the two media is greatest. On your list, that would be at the boundary between air or space and glass.

How is the surface area of an average person is 2m^2 in the chapter pressure

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

We have to show surface area $=2m^2$ ,with few conditions that is by considering Force $=200000\ N$ and Pressure $=100000\ Pa$ to be respectively.

Explanation:

The atmospheric pressure is $=10^{5}\ Pa$ on Earth's surface.

The magnitude of the force exerted on a person by the atmosphere is $=2\times 10^{5}\N (or)\ 200kN\ (or)\ 20\ ton$ .

Now to calculate surface area we can find it from $pressure=\frac{force}{area}$ and re-arranging it to.

$area=\frac{force}{pressure}$

So plugging the values,

Surface area $=\frac{20000}{10000}=2\ m^{2}$

Hence from the above calculations we can say that surface area is $2m^2$ .

So the surface area of an average person can be said to have $2m^2$ , using the concept of pressure and force.

Consider a block on frictionless ice. Starting from rest, the block travels a distance din

sweet [91]

Answer:

<em>The distance is now 4d</em>

Explanation:

<u>Mechanical Force</u>

According to the second Newton's law, the net force exerted by an external agent on an object of mass m is:

F = m.a

Where a is the acceleration of the object.

The acceleration can be calculated by solving for a:

$\displaystyle a=\frac{F}{m}$

Once we know the acceleration, we can calculate the distance traveled by the block as follows:

$\displaystyle d = vo.t+\frac{at^2}{2}$

If the block starts from rest, vo=0:

$\displaystyle d = \frac{at^2}{2}$

Substituting the value of the acceleration:

$\displaystyle d = \frac{\frac{F}{m}t^2}{2}$

Simplifying:

$\displaystyle d = \frac{Ft^2}{2m}$

When a force F'=4F is applied and assuming the mass is the same, the new acceleration is:

$\displaystyle a'=\frac{4F}{m}$

And the distance is now:

$\displaystyle d' = \frac{4Ft^2}{2m}$

Dividing d'/d:

$\displaystyle \frac{d' }{d}=\frac{\frac{4Ft^2}{2m}}{\frac{Ft^2}{2m}}$

Simplifying:

$\displaystyle \frac{d' }{d}=4$

Thus:

d' = 4d

The distance is now 4d
