A balloonist happens to drop his metal ballpoint pen from his balloon as he is taking notes on his flight. Because his pen has a

streamlined shape, air resistance has little effect on its fall. The pen strikes the ground at 22 m/s. How high was the balloon?

So this is dealing with the conservation of energy. So you set kinetic energy equal to potential energy, so it looks like this:

1/2mv^2=mgh. The m's cancel out, so it is 1/2v^2=gh.

To find out what the height h is, divide g on both sides, so...

h=0.5v^2/g. v=22m/s, g=9.81m/s^2, so h=(0.5)(22^2)/(9.81)=24.67m

Example #2: A delivery truck drives 4 miles west before turning
Stolb23 [73]
The distance is 6+4 which =10 miles. The displacement would be 7.21 miles. This is because you have to use the Pythagorean theorem so a^2 + b^2 = c^2. So 6^2 + 4^2 = 52. Then take the square root and you get 7.21.

Describe how kinetic and potential energy change as a diver climbs up to a diving board and then dives into the water below.
Dima020 [189]

A diver having mass m climbs up the diving board.
We know that Gravitational potential energy is given as <span>P<span>EG</span>=mgΔh</span>

What changes is his Gravitational potential energy due to change of height <span>Δh</span> with reference to the ground/water level.
While standing on the diving board his velocity is zero. As such kinetic energy is also zero.

Once he jumps off the springboard we see he gets additional energy from the springboard and falls down under action of gravity g. Due to decrease of height above the ground level Gravitational potential energy decreases and gets converted in to his kinetic energy. <span>1/2m<span>v2</span></span>.

While in air he encounters air resistance. Some of his energy is spent in overcoming this resistance. Gets converted in to kinetic and thermal energy of surrounding air and his body.

Once diver reaches the water, we see water splashing and hear noise of splash. Thereafter the diver comes to rest. Now his potential energy becomes zero. And converted kinetic energy has been converted in to kinetic energy, heat energy and sound energy of water.

As such energy transformation equation looks like

<span><span>Gravitational PE+Elastic PE of springboard</span><span>→Kinetic energy of air and water+Sound energy of splash+thermal energy</span></span>

A light beam strikes a piece of glass at a 65.00 ∘ incident angle. The beam contains two wavelengths, 450.0 nm and 700.0 nm, for
Leokris [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

Lower the refractive index ,  higher the wave length

Refractive index becoming high reduces the velocity and hence wavelength as frequency remains unchanged.

So refractive index  1.4831 will correspond to wavelength of 450 nm.

For  refractive index is 1.4831 , angle of incidence i , angle of refraction r .

Sin i / Sinr = 1.4831

sin65 / sinr = 1.4831

sir r = sin65 / 1.4831

= .9063 / 1.4831

= .6111

r = 37.67 degree

For  refractive index is 1.4754 , angle of incidence i

Sin i / Sinr = 1.4754

sin65 / sinr = 1.4754

sir r = sin65 / 1.4754

= .9063 / 1.4754

= .61427

r = 37.9 degree

angle between two refracted ray

37.9 -37.67

= 0. 23 degree
