standing side by side, you and a friend step off a bridge and fall for 1.6s to the water below. your friend goes first, and you

follow after he has dropped a distance of 2.0m. (a) (i figured a out, you are 2.0 meters apart when you friend hits the water but i need help with b) (b) verify this with a calculation

(a) The distance will be more than 2.0 meters.

In fact, you starts your fall after your friend has already fallen 2.0 meters. This means that your friend has already accelerated for a while, therefore his velocity will be greater than yours. But this statement will be actually true for the entire fall, since you has some delay, therefore when your friend will hit the water, the separation between you and him will be greater than the initial separation of 2.0 meters.


b) First of all we need to calculate the height of the bridge with respect to the water. We know that you take 1.6 s to fall down, therefore we can use the following equation:

S=\frac{1}{2}gt^2=\frac{1}{2}(9.81 m/s^2)(1.6s)^2=12.56 m

We know that your friend will take 1.6 s to falls down. Instead, you start your jump after he has already fallen 2.0 m, therefore after a time given by the equation:

S=\frac{1}{2}gt^2

Using S=2.0 m,

t=\sqrt{\frac{2S}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(2.0 m)}{9.81 m/s^2}}=0.64 s

So we know that you start your fall 0.64 s after your friend. Therefore, now we can find how much did you fall between the moment you started your fall (0.64 s) and the moment your friend hits the water (1.6 s). Using

t=1.6 s-0.64 s=0.96 s

we find

S=\frac{1}{2}gt^2=\frac{1}{2}(9.81 m/s^2)(0.96 s)^2 =4.52 m

So, when your friend hits the water, you just covered 4.52 m, while he already covered 12.56 m. Therefore, the separation between you and your friend is more than 2 meters.

A stereo speaker produces a pure \"c\" tone, with a frequency of 262 hz. what is the period of the sound wave produced by the sp
jasenka [17]

Answer:

3.82 ms

Explanation:

The period of a wave is equal to the reciprocal of the frequency:

T=\frac{1}{f}

where f is the frequency.

In this problem, f = 262 Hz, so the period if this sound wave is

T=\frac{1}{262 Hz}=3.82\cdot 10^{-3} s=3.82ms

The built in flash in a compact camera is usally capable of giving correct exsposure for distance up to how many meters?
Brut [27]

Answer:

An on-camera flash is an indispensible accessory for many photographers; it provides additional light when conditions become too dark to handhold your camera comfortably, allows you to achieve more balanced exposures in daylight conditions, permits freezing of fast-moving subjects and can also be used to control or trigger other flash light sources. Additionally, a flash can be used as a highly effective creative tool to establish an aesthetic that elevates your imagery when lighting conditions are considered less than stellar. The benefits of an external on-camera flash far outweigh those provided by a built-in camera flash, while the only drawback is keeping an additional piece of equipment.

On-Camera Flash versus Off-Camera Flash versus In-Camera Flash

The term on-camera flash simply refers to a type of strobe light (flash) that can connect directly with your camera. While it is referred to as “on-camera” this does not require the flash to be physically mounted on your camera. On-camera flashes can, and often are, used off-camera. This differs from other strobe-light sources, such as studio pack strobes and monolights in that these types of strobes are not meant to be physically connected to your camera (except under rare and unusual circumstances involving convoluted methods of adaptation). Additionally, on-camera flashes usually have a self-contained power supply, although external power sources can sometimes be used to improve performance or battery life.

On-camera external flash also refers to the type of external flash that can be used on your camera, compared to a built-in flash that is integrated into many cameras. An on-camera external flash performs better than a built-in flash in almost every regard with the one exception that it is not built into your camera. The ability to take the flash off your camera results in a significantly greater number of lighting options; far more than simply providing a blast of flat light to the scene to facilitate an adequate exposure. It is often not desirable to have your flash pointed squarely at the scene at hand; more often than not you will want to bounce the flash light off other surfaces and point in other directions to control the look of your flash. When using an in-camera flash, you are forced to use the flash at the given angle from which it extends.

Most built-in flashes are also located near the camera lens, which can often result in the red-eye effect  when photographing subjects in dimly lit conditions. Red-eye occurs because pupils dilate in dim light, the built-in flash is aligned with the lens's optical axis, its beam enters the eye and reflects back at the camera from the retina at the rear of the eye, which is quite red. Being able to use an on-camera flash source off-camera, from a different angle, will help to eliminate the red-eye effect in your photographs of people.

Guide Numbers, Manual Usage, Controlling Flash Power and Sync Speeds

Before delving into the automatic technology that is contained within most contemporary flashes, it is best to understand how to manually control and grasp a flash’s power. This is directly related to having an understanding of exposure ratios—how shutter speeds and apertures affect and balance each other—even though auto-exposure metering is available and often utilized for determining the best exposure settings.

What is the smallest radius of an unbanked (flat) track around which a bicyclist can travel if her speed is 29.0 km/h and the co
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the radius of track required be r.

Centripetal force will be provided by frictional force which will be equal to

m v²/ r

Frictional force = mg x μ

So

m v² /r = mg μ

r = v² / μ g =

  v = 29 km /h = 8.05 m /s

r =( 8.05 x 8.05 ) /( .32 x 9.8 ) = 20.66 m
