If it is very steep and you throw a little rock down it will be more likely to make all the rocks fall easier than a gently sloped hill that if you throw the same size rock down it would move nothing but little rocks.

A submarine periscope uses two totally reflecting 45-45-90 prisms with total internal reflection on the sides adjacent to the 45
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer

Given,

Periscope uses 45-45-90 prisms with total internal reflection adjacent to 45°.

refractive index of water, n_a = 1.33

refractive index of glass, n_g = 1.52

When the light enters the water, water will act as a lens and when we see the object from the periscope the object shown is farther than the usual distance.

A research vessel is mapping the bottom of the ocean using sonar. It emits a short sound pulse called "ping" downward. The frequ
Elena L [17]

Answer:

The ocean is 6485.6m deep when measured from the vessel

Explanation:

v=1474m/s

t=8.88s

let d represent distance from the vessel to the ocean bottom.

an echo travels a distance equivalent to 2d, that is to and fro after it reflects from the obstacle.

velocity=\frac{distance}{time}\\ v=\frac{2d}{t} \\vt=2d\\d=\frac{vt}{2}

d=\frac{1474*8.8}{2}

d= 6485.6m

A golf ball reaches a height of 150 m before it stops rising and starts to fall to the ground. What is the golf balls speed (rou
artcher [175]

Answer:

v = 54 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

The maximum height of the flight of golf ball, h = 150 m

The velocity at height h, u = 0

The velocity of the golf ball right before it hits the ground, v = ?

Using the III equations of motion

                               <em>  v² = u² + 2gh</em>

Substituting the given values in the above equation,

                                 v² = 0 + 2 x 9.8 x 150 m

                                     = 2940

                                  v = 54 m/s

Hence, the speed of the golf ball right before it hits the ground, v = 54 m/s
