Answer:

The answer is 0.8 m

Explanation:

According the attached diagram, if we take the momentum in the point 0:

\frac{m_{D}*5.1 }{2} =m_{J} *X

Where

mD = mass of Diane = 64.2 kg

mJ = mass of Jack = 93.6 kg

Replacing:

X=\frac{\frac{64.2*5.1}{2} }{93.6} =1.75m

\frac{L}{2} -X=Y=\frac{5.1}{2} -1.75\\Y=0.8m

Which one of the following temperatures is equal to 5°C?
natali 33 [55]

Answer : The correct option is, (D) 278 K

Explanation :

We are given temperature 5^oC.

Now the conversion factor used for the temperature is,

K=^oC+273

where, K is kelvin and ^oC is Celsius.

Now put the value of temperature, we get

K=5^oC+273=278K

Therefore, the temperature 278 K is equal to the 5^oC

In world war 1 , Multiple reflection was used in submarines. How multiple reflection works and helps in such situation?
prisoha [69]

<u>Answer:</u>

Submarines use a device called Periscope that uses the concept of multiple reflections and help us see objects above the water surface.

<u>Explanation:</u>

When a light ray falls on a reflecting surface like a mirror, it gets reflected.  In multiple reflections, the incident light ray is made to reflect multiple times by arranging the reflecting surfaces in different ways.

In submarines, we use Periscope, which is a long tube like structure. The long tube is bent at ends. It uses two simple mirrors which are placed parallel to each other at an angle of 45 degrees. The light from one mirror gets reflected to the other mirror, thus causing a multiple reflection.
