Answer:

107 feet is the total vertical distance the dolphin traveled.

Explanation:

Negative sign in front of the distance value is just to define the distance covered by dolphin underwater that is beneath the surface of the water

Before jump

Vertical distance covered by dolphin below the surface of water before coming out= 35 feet

Vertical distance covered by dolphin after coming out of the surface of water = 27 feet

After jump

Vertical distance covered by dolphin above the surface of water after jumping = 27 feet

Vertical distance covered by dolphin below the surface of water after jumping = 18 feet

The total vertical distance the dolphin traveled:

35 feet + 27 feet + 27 feet + 18 feet = 107 feet

From the starting depth to the surface, the vertical distance is 35 ft.

From the surface to the peak of the jump, the vertical distance is 27 ft.

From the peak of the jump to the surface, the vertical distance is 27 ft.

From the surface to the ending depth, the vertical distance is 18 ft.

Then the total vertical distance is ...

  35 ft + 27 ft + 27 ft + 18 ft = 107 ft

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

82.4 cm

Explanation:

∑F = ma

kx cos θ = ma

x = ma / (k cos θ)

x = (10 kg) (5 m/s²) / (70 N/m cos 30.0°)

x = 0.824 m

x = 82.4 cm

. A 1.00 kg rock is thrown up into the air from ground level at a speed of 8.00 m/s. The ball travels up
Liula [17]

Answer:

p = -8 kg-m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the rock, u = 8 m/s

Mass of the rock, m = 1 kg

The ball travels up  to a maximum height, then returns to the ground.

We need to find the rock's momentum as it strikes the  ground. Let v be the final speed of the rock. Its final speed is as same as initial speed i.e. 8 m/s but in negative direction. So

p = mv

p = 1 kg × (-8 m/s)

= -8 kg-m/s

So, the rock's momentum as it strikes the  ground is (-8 kg-m/s).

If R is the total resistance for a parallel circuit with two resistors of resistance r1 and r2, then . Find the resistance, r1,
Goshia [24]
For a parallel circuit with two resistors, the total resistance is calculated from the expression:

1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2

We are given the total resistance, R, which is 20 ohms and R2 which is 75 ohms. We calculate R1 as follows:

1/20 = 1/R1 + 1/75
1/R1 = 11/300
R1 = 27.27 ohms

A ray of light in glass strikes a water-glass interface at an angle of incidence equal to one-half the critical angle for that i
fomenos

Answer:

Explanation:

There will not be any internal reflection . it will be only refraction

critical angle = θ

Sinθ = 1 / μg

μg = 1.43 / 1.33 =

Sinθ = 1.33 / 1.43

= .93

θ = 68.44

angle of incidence i = 68.44 / 2

= 34.22

Sin i / Sin r = μw = 1.33 / 1.43  

= .93

sin 34.22  / sinθ₁ = .93 , θ₁ is angle of refraction.

sinθ₁ = sin 34.22 / .93

= .5623 / .93

= .6047

θ₁ = 37 degree Ans
