If he is jumping you are adding force which means that you will be falling twice as fast

An 81.5-kg man stands on a horizontal surface.

OLga [1]

Answer:

a)V= 0.0827 m³

b)P=181.11 x 10² N/m²

Explanation:

Given that

m = 81.5 kg

Density ,ρ = 985 kg/m³

As we know that

Mass = Volume x Density

81.5 = V x 985

V= 0.0827 m³

The force exerted by weight = m g

F= m g= 81.5 x 10 = 815 N ( Take ,g= 10 m/s²)

Area ,A= 4.5 x 10⁻² m²

The Pressure P

$P=\dfrac{F}{A}$

$P = \dfrac{815}{4.5\times 10^{-2}}\ N/m^2$

P=181.11 x 10² N/m²

Does the refraction of light make a swimming pool seem deeper or shallower? explain your answer.

larisa [96]

The refraction of light makes a swimming pool seem <u>shallower</u>.

The swimming pool seems shallower because the rays of light coming from the bottom of the pool do not come with a straight path. The path of light is straight as long as it is in the water.

When lights come out of the water into the air it bents downwards. This bending is called refraction.

Refraction forms a virtual image of the pool and it seems shallower than it actually is to the observer. This only happens when light travels from one transparent medium into another having lower density.

Answer:

$W_n_e_t=7.648512 \approx 7.6J$

$K.E=0.8J$

$v=0.7844645406 \approx 0.78m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Mass of pitcher $M= 2.6kg$

Force on pitcher $f=8.8N$

Distance traveled $48cm=>0.48m$

Coefficient of friction $\mu=0.28$

a)Generally frictional force is mathematically given by

$F=\mu N$

$F=0.28*2.6*9.8$

$F=7.1344N$

Generally work done on the pitcher is mathematically given as

$W_n_e_t=W_f+W_F$

$W_f=8.8*0.48=>4.224N\\W_F=7.1344*0.48=>3.424512N$

$W_n_e_t=4.224-3.424512$

$W_n_e_t=0.799488\approx 0.8J$

b)Generally K.E can be given mathematically as

$K.E= W_n_e_t$

Therefore

$K.E=0.8J$

c)Generally the equation for kinetic energy is mathematically represented by

$K.E=1/2mv^2$

$0.8=1/2mv^2$

Velocity as subject

$v=\sqrt{\frac{K.E*2}{m} }$

$v=\sqrt{\frac{0.8*2}{2.6} }$

$v=0.7844645406 \approx 0.78m/s$
