This is an example of the phi phenomenon. This is an optical illusion that occurs when a series of still images, in this case the flashing lights, are viewed in quick succession. This given the illusion of a continuous movement rather than discrete still images.

Kathy 82 kg performer standing on a diving board at the carnival dive straight down into a small pool of water. Just before stri
mixas84 [53]

Solution :

Given weight of Kathy = 82 kg

Her speed before striking the water, $V_o $ = 5.50 m/s

Her speed after entering the water, $V_f$= 1.1 m/s

Time = 1.65 s

Using equation of impulse,

$dP = F \times  dT$

Here, F =  the force ,

       dT =  time interval over which the force is applied for

            = 1.65 s

       dP  = change in momentum

dP = m x dV

    $= m \times [V_f - V_o] $

    = 82 x (1.1 - 5.5)

    = -360 kg

∴ the net force acting will be

$F=\frac{dP}{dT}$

$F=\frac{-360}{1.65}$

  = 218 N

Energy slowly leaks outward through the diffusion of photons that repeatedly bounce off ions and electrons
stepan [7]

Energy slowly leaks outward through the radiative diffusion of photons that repeatedly bounce off ions and electrons.

<h3>What is radiative diffusion?</h3>

A radiation zone is a layer of a star's core where energy is mostly carried toward the outside by radiative diffusion and thermal conduction rather than convection.

As photons, energy passes through the radiation zone as electromagnetic radiation.

The radiative diffusion of photons that repeatedly bounce off ions and electrons progressively drains energy outward.

Hence,radiative diffusion is correct answer.
