A dolphin leaps out of the water at an angle of 36.6° above the horizontal. The horizontal component of the dolphin's velocity i

s 7.87 m/s. Calculate the magnitude of the vertical component of the velocity.

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Dolphin leaps out an angle $\theta =36.6^{\circ}$

Horizontal component of dolphin velocity $u_x=7.87\ m/s$

Suppose u is the launch velocity of dolphin

therefore $u\cos \theta =u_x---1$

and vertical velocity $u_y=u\sin \theta ----2$

divide 1 and 2 we get

$\tan \theta =\frac{u_y}{u_x}$

$u_y=u_x\tan \theta$

$u_y=7.87\cdot \tan (36.6)$

$u_y=5.84\ m/s$

How do you know that waves sent from the sun to earth are not mechanical waves? Explain

Anna71 [15]

Mechanical waves require matter to travel medium. If there is no substance or matter to travel through, mechanical waves cannot propagate.

Since space is mostly vacuum, there is no medium for waves to travel through: waves sent by the sun (electromagnetic waves) are not mechanical waves

Can a magnet attract a pure substance?

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Magnets strongly attract materials which already themselves have magnetic domains. They do not significantly attract many metals like gold, aluminum, silver, and even some types of high-chromium stainless-steel, which lack such domains. In fact, pure gold is slightly repelled.

In a double slit experiment, the distance between the slits is 0.2 mm and the distance to the screen is 100 cm. What is the phas

Anni [7]

Answer:

The phase difference is $\Delta \phi = 180^o$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The distance between the slits is $d = 0.2 \ mm = \frac{0.2}{1000} = 0.2 *10^{-3} \ m$

The distance to the screen is $D = 100 cm = \frac{100}{100} = 1 \ m$

The wavelength is $\lambda = 400nm$

The distance of the wave from the central maximum is $L = 5mm = 5*10^{-3} m$

Generally the path difference of this waves is mathematically represented as

$y = d sin \theta$

Here $\theta$ is the angle between the the line connecting the mid-point of the slits with the screen and the line connecting the mid-point of the slits to the central maximum

This implies that

$tan \theta = \frac{L}{D}$

=> $\theta = tan ^{-1} \frac{L}{D}$

$\theta = tan ^{-1} [\frac{5*10^{-3}}{1}]$

$\theta =0.2865$

Substituting values into the formula for path difference

$y = 0.2 *10^{-3} sin(0.2864)$

$y = 9.997*10^{-7} \ m$

The phase difference is mathematically represented as

$\Delta \phi = \frac{2 \pi }{\lambda } * y$

Substituting values

$\Delta \phi = \frac{2 \pi }{400 *10^{-9} } \ * 9.997*10^{-7}$

$\Delta \phi =5 \pi$

Converting to degree

$\Delta \phi =5 \pi radians = 5 (180^o) = 180^o$

the solution is subtracted by 360° in order to get the actual angle

When an apple falls towards the earth,the earth moves up to meet the apple. Is this true?If yes, why is the earth's motion not n

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

because the mass of the apple is very less compared to the mass of earth. Due to less mass the apple cannot produce noticable acceleration in the earth but the earth which has more mass produces noticable acceleration in the apple. thus we can see apple falling on towards the earth but we cannot see earth moving towards the apple.
