The waves will diffract around the island and converge on the opposite side.

Answer: Option (1)

Explanation: Waves in the ocean, travelling in a particular direction has the property to get diffracted, on hitting an isolated object or a small island. This means that waves undergoes bending through the edge of an island and subsequently gets mix up on their opposite side.

Hence, the correct answer is option (1).

A potter’s wheel of radius 17 cm starts from rest and rotates with constant angular acceleration until at the end of 32 s it is

dedylja [7]

Answer:

α=0.625rad/s^2

v=340m/s

w=10rad/s

θ=320rad

Explanation:

Constant angular acceleration = ∆w/∆t

angular acceleration = 20/32

α=0.625rad/s^2

Linear velocity v=wr

v = 20×17= 340m/s

Average angular velocity

w0+w1/2

w= 0+20/2

w= 20/2

w=10rad/s

What angle did it rotate with

θ=wt

θ= 10×32

=320rad

A man has a weight of 100 Newtons. How much work is done if he climbs 4meters up a ladder?

Aliun [14]

Answer:

400 J

Explanation:

Work is done when a force that is applied to an object moves that object.

The work is calculated by multiplying the force by the amount of movement of an object

W = F * d

here the man has to work against the gravitational field. (against his weight)

F =100 N

Work done = F * d

= 100 * 4

= 400 J

A man is standing on the edge of a 20.0 m high cliff. He throws a rock horizontally with an initial velocity of 10.0 m/s.

kherson [118]

Answer:

<em>a. The rock takes 2.02 seconds to hit the ground</em>

<em>b. The rock lands at 20,2 m from the base of the cliff</em>

Explanation:

Horizontal motion occurs when an object is thrown horizontally with an initial speed v from a height h above the ground. When it happens, the object moves through a curved path determined by gravity until it hits the ground.

The time taken by the object to hit the ground is calculated by:

$\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$

The range is defined as the maximum horizontal distance traveled by the object and it can be calculated as follows:

$\displaystyle d=v.t$

The man is standing on the edge of the h=20 m cliff and throws a rock with a horizontal speed of v=10 m/s.

The time taken by the rock to reach the ground is:

$\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2*20}{9.8}}$

$\displaystyle t=\sqrt{4.0816}$

t = 2.02 s

The rock takes 2.02 seconds to hit the ground

The range is calculated now:

$\displaystyle d=10\cdot 2.02$

d = 20.2 m

The rock lands at 20,2 m from the base of the cliff

In a maneuver, the jet comes in for a landing on solid ground with a speed of 115 m/s, and its acceleration can have a maximum m

V125BC [204]

Answer:

17.1130952381 s

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity = 115 m/s

v = Final velocity = 0

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration = -6.72 m/s² (negative as it is decelerating)

From the equations of motion

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{0-115}{-6.72}\\\Rightarrow t=17.1130952381\ s$

The minimum time required to stop is 17.1130952381 s

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{0^2-115^2}{2\times -6.72}\\\Rightarrow s=984.00297619\ m$

The distance that is required for the jet to stop is 0.98400297619 km which is greater than 0.8 km. So, the jet cannot land on a small tropical island airport.
