You are standing on a skateboard, initially at rest. a friend throws a very heavy ball towards you. you can either catch the obj

ect or deflect the object back toward your friend (such that it moves away from you with the same speed as it was originally thrown). what should you do in order to maximize your speed on the skateboard?

<span>You should deflect the ball in order to maximize your speed on the skateboard.

Since this creates a larger impulse, you want to deflect the ball. Splitting it up into catching and throwing the ball may by something you can think of deflecting the ball. First, you need to catch the ball, which in turn would push you forward with some speed. (The speed we are talking about should obviously be equal to option A, where you catch the ball). Now, throw the ball back to him since these two processes are equal to deflecting the ball. Throwing a mass away from you would cause or enable you to move even fast.</span>

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

hello your question is incomplete  attached below is the missing part  

answer : short period oscillations frequency  = 0.063 rad / sec

              phugoid oscillations natural frequency ( w_{np} ) = 4.27 rad/sec

Explanation:

first we have to state the general form of the equation

= ( S^2 + 2\alpha _{p} w_{np} S + w^{2} _{np} ) (S^{2} + 2\alpha _{s} w_{ns}S + w^{2} _{ns}  ) = 0

where :

w_{np}  = Natural frequency of plugiod oscillation

\alpha _{p} = damping ratio of plugiod  oscilations

comparing the general form with the given equation

w^{2} _{np}  = 18.2329

w^{2} _{ns} = 0.003969

hence the short period oscillation frequency ( w_{ns} ) =  0.063 rad/sec

phugoid oscillations natural frequency ( w_{np} ) = 4.27 rad/sec

Given a block of glass that is semi-circular, a laser pointer, protractor/ruler, and index card, design your own experiment to o
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

we go up the ramp there is a point where the beam is reflected inside the block, we carefully step back to the point where the beam is horizontal, we measure this angle which is our critical angle.

Explanation:

To design the experiment of measuring the critical angle, we describe the phenomenon, when the light passes from a medium with a higher refractive index to one with a lower index, it separates from the normal one and the Critical Angle is defined as the Angle for which the refraction occurs at 90º

            n₂ sin θ₂ = n₁ sin 90

           n₁ / n₂ = sin θ₂

As we can see, we have to measure the angle with which the laser touches the exit surface of the glass block.

Design of the experiment:

    We place the glass block on the ramp and at the top we hit the conveyor for half the angle, we climb the block on the ramp and see that the angle of incidence of lightning on the exit face changes, part of the beam comes out of the glass , we see it by dispersion in the particles of dirty in the air; Maybe the conveyor or the laser should be moved slightly so that the beam touches the point of origin on the conveyor.

   

   When we go up the ramp there is a point where the beam is reflected inside the block, we carefully step back to the point where the beam is horizontal, we measure this angle which is our critical angle.

How does the distance traveled by the coin compare to its displacement after ten flips?
Mkey [24]

Answer:

To calculate displacement, simply draw a vector from your starting point to your final position and solve for the length of this line. If your starting and ending position are the same, like your circular 5K route, then your displacement is 0. In physics, displacement is represented by Δs.
