Answer:
The third drop is 0.26m
Explanation:
The drop 1 impacts at time T is given by:
T=sqrt(2h/g)
T= sqrt[(2×2.4)/9.8]
T= sqrt(4.8/9.8)
T= sqrt(0.4898)
T= 0.70seconds
4th drops starts at dT=0.70/3= 0.23seconds
The interval between the drops is 0.23seconds
Third drop will fall at t= 0.23
h=1/2gt^2
h= 1/2×9.81×(0.23)^2
h= 0.26m
i would say that the child with more linear speed is the cild that is 3 meters away from the center of the merry go round. because the child that is 0.5 meters from the center of the merry go round is less linear because the steering of the merry go round is started from the outer part of the merry go round so it would make more sense that the child that is 3 meters from the center of the merry go round would be more linear in speed.
hope this helps!
Answer:
Explanation:
If we assume there is a sharp boundary between the two masses of air, there will be a refraction. The refractive index of each medium will depend on the relative speeds of light.
n = c / v
If light travels faster in warmer air, it will have a lower refractive index
nh < nc
Snell's law of refraction relates angles of incidence and refracted with the indexes of refraction:
n1 * sin(θ1) = n2 * sin(θ2)
sin(θ2) = sin(θ1) * n1/n2
If blue light from the sky passing through the hot air will cross to the cold air, then
n1 = nh
n2 = nc
Then:
n1 < n2
So:
n1/n2 < 1
The refracted light will come into the cold air at angle θ2 wich will be smaller than θ1, so the light is bent upwards, creating the appearance of water in the distance, which is actually a mirror image of the sky.
