Explanation:
Once the force of air resistance is as large as the force of gravity, a balance of forces is attained and the skydiver no longer accelerates. The skydiver is said to have reached a terminal velocity.
Answer: Yes
Air serves as a propagation medium.
Explanation:
Propagation of sound wave require a medium for transmission. Sound is produced by vibrating objects, The matter or substance through which sound is transmitted is called a medium. It can be solid, liquid or gas. Therefore to propagate sounds (human voice) from one end of a lecture hall to the other we need a propagation medium which is air. Air serves as a propagation medium.
The answer is C in this question.
Answer:
Stationary
20N
Explanation:
From the graph, we see that the body traveling is on a fixed position. Therefore, it is a stationary body.
The graph given is a position - time curve.
This curve depict a body changing position with given time.
Since the line of the curve is on a single position, the body is not changing position with the passage of time therefore, it is a stationary object.
B. 20N
From Newton's third law of motion we understand that "action and reaction force are equal but oppositely directed".
Since the person is exerting a force of 20N on the balance.
So, the reaction force by the balance is 20N upward.
Answer:
13.6 cm
Explanation:
From Snell's law:
n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂
In the air, n₁ = 1, and light from the horizon forms a 90° angle with the vertical, so sin θ₁ = sin 90° = 1.
Given n₂ = 4/3:
1 = 4/3 sin θ
sin θ = 3/4
If x is the radius of the circle, then sin θ is:
sin θ = x / √(x² + 12²)
sin θ = x / √(x² + 144)
Substituting:
3/4 = x / √(x² + 144)
9/16 = x² / (x² + 144)
9/16 x² + 81 = x²
81 = 7/16 x²
x ≈ 13.6
