Sonar<span> (originally an acronym for Sound Navigation And Ranging) is a technique that uses sound propagation (usually underwater, as in submarine navigation) to navigate, communicate with or detect objects on or under the surface of the water, such as other vessels.</span>

A 2 kg ball is attached by a string to the top of a vertical pole and swings in a circle of radius 1.2 m. If the string makes an
never [62]

Answer:

v = 3.81 m/s

Explanation:

First, we will find out the radius (r)

sinΘ = r / L

or

r = LsinΘ

on substituting the values, we get

r = 1.2 × sin18°

or

r = 0.370 m

Now,

The tension (T) can be calculated as

ΣF(y) = 0

or

Tcos18° - mg  = 0

or

T = mg / cos18.8°

on substituting the values, we have

T = (2kg x 9.8m/s²) / cos18°

or

T = 20.60 N

Now, applying the equilibrium condition in horizontal direction. we have

\Sigma F_x = ma_c = Tsin\theta = 0

also, the centripetal acceleration a_c=\frac{v}{r}

on substituting the values, we get

m(v² / r) = Tsin18°

v = (rTsin18° / m)

v = [(1.2m)(20.60 × sin18°) / 2kg]

v = 3.81 m/s

How fast is the relay stick moving relative to Ingrid
faust18 [17]
<span>Assuming the speeds of both the stick and Ingrid are taken from a stationary point, the velocities of both Ingrid and the stick will be subtracted to see how much faster the stick is going. 16 - 9 = 7 km/h is the speed of the stick relative to Ingrid</span>

A research submarine has a 30-cm-diameter window that is 8.1 cm thick. The manufacturer says the window can withstand forces up
malfutka [58]

The pressure at a certain depth underwater is:

P = ρgh

P = pressure, ρ = sea water density, g = gravitational acceleration near Earth, h = depth

The pressure exerted on the submarine window is:

P = F/A

P = pressure, F = force, A = area

The area of the circular submarine window is:

A = π(d/2)²

A = area, d = diameter

Set the expressions for the pressure equal to each other:

F/A = ρgh

Substitute A:

F/(π(d/2)²) = ρgh

Isolate h:

h = F/(ρgπ(d/2)²)

Given values:

F = 1.1×10⁶N

ρ = 1030kg/m³ (pulled from a Google search)

g = 9.81m/s²

d = 30×10⁻²m

Plug in and solve for h:

h = 1.1×10⁶/(1030(9.81)π(30×10⁻²/2)²)

h = 1540m

Projectile motion
In the problem we are asked to find a height of certain cliff when a motorcycle stunt driver zoom out horizontally at the end the cliff at an initial velocity. So we will use one of the kinematics equation for projectile motion,
