The beam is refracted at 53.17-degree angle (asin 0.800414 = 53.17-degree). This problem can be solved by using the Snell's Law which described the refracted beam angle which traveled through a different media, in this case, through water and air. The formula of Snell's Law is stated as n1 sin θ1= n2 sin θ2. In this formula n1 is the refraction index of medium 1, θ1 is the normal light angle in the medium 1, n2 is the refraction index of medium 2, and θ2 is the normal light angle in the medium 2<span>. </span>

During the time interval from 0.0 to 10.0 s, the position vector of a car on a road is given by x(t) = a + bt + ct2, with a = 17
Juli2301 [7.4K]

The car’s velocity as a function of time is b + 2ct and the car’s average velocity during this interval is 0.9 m/s.

<h3>Average velocity of the car</h3>

The average velocity of the car is calculated as follows;

x(t) = a + bt + ct2

v = dx/dt

v(t) = b + 2ct

v(0) = -10.1 m/s + 2(1.1)(0) = -10.1 m/s

v(10) = -10.1 + 2(1.1)(10) = 11.9 m/s

<h3>Average velocity</h3>

V = ¹/₂[v(0) + v(10)]

V = ¹/₂ (-10.1  + 11.9 )

V = 0.9 m/s

Thus, the car’s velocity as a function of time is b + 2ct and the car’s average velocity during this interval is 0.9 m/s.

A bottle dropped from a balloon reaches the ground in 20 s. determine the height of the balloon if (a) it was at rest in the air
romanna [79]
<span>a) 1960 m b) 960 m Assumptions. 1. Ignore air resistance. 2. Gravity is 9.80 m/s^2 For the situation where the balloon was stationary, the equation for the distance the bottle fell is d = 1/2 AT^2 d = 1/2 9.80 m/s^2 (20s)^2 d = 4.9 m/s^2 * 400 s^2 d = 4.9 * 400 m d = 1960 m For situation b, the equation is quite similar except we need to account for the initial velocity of the bottle. We can either assume that the acceleration for gravity is negative, or that the initial velocity is negative. We just need to make certain that the two effects (falling due to acceleration from gravity) and (climbing due to initial acceleration) counteract each other. So the formula becomes d = 1/2 9.80 m/s^2 (20s)^2 - 50 m/s * T d = 1/2 9.80 m/s^2 (20s)^2 - 50m/s *20s d = 4.9 m/s^2 * 400 s^2 - 1000 m d = 4.9 * 400 m - 1000 m d = 1960 m - 1000 m d = 960 m</span>

Before starting this problem, review Conceptual Example 3 in your text. Suppose that the hail described there comes straight dow
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

0.9 N

Explanation:

The force exerted on an object is related to its change in momentum by:

F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}

where

F is the force exerted

\Delta p is the change in momentum

\Delta t is the time interval

The change in momentum can be rewritten as

\Delta p = m(v-u)

where

m is the mass

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

So the formula can be rewritten as

F=\frac{m(v-u)}{\Delta t}

In this problem we have:

\frac{m}{\Delta t}=0.030 kg/s is the mass rate

u=-15 m/s is the initial velocity

v=+15 m/s is the final velocity

Therefore, the force exerted by the hail on the roof is:

F=(0.030)(+15-(-15))=0.9 N
