In some amazing situations, people have survived falling large distances when the surface they land on is soft enough. During a

traverse of Eiger's infamous Nordvand, mountaineer Carlos Ragone's rock anchor gave way and he plummeted 515 feet to land in snow. Amazingly, he suffered only a few bruises and a wrenched shoulder. Assuming that his impact left a hole in the snow 3.5 ft deep, estimate his average acceleration as he slowed to a stop (that is while he was impacting the snow). Pick a coordinate system where down is positive.

(TCO 5) The relationship between Celsius (º C) and Fahrenheit (º F) degree of measuring temperature is linear. Find the linear e
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

C=-\dfrac{10}{17}(F-32)

Explanation:

Given that

32° F corresponds to 0 °C.  ---Point 1

212° F corresponds to 100 °C.----Point 2

We know that if two point is given that equation of line can be found as

y-y_1=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_2}(x-x_1)

Lets C in y- direction and F in x- direction,so we can say that

C-C_1=\dfrac{C_2-C_1}{F_2-F_2}(F-F_1)

C-0=\dfrac{100-0}{32-212}(F-32)

C=-\dfrac{10}{17}(F-32)

So the linear relationship is

C=-\dfrac{10}{17}(F-32)

A laser beam is incident at an angle of 33.0° to the vertical onto a solution of cornsyrup in water.(a) If the beam is refracted
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

1.29649

488.08706 nm

6.14644\times 10^{14}\ Hz

231715700.28346 m/s

Explanation:

n denotes refractive index

1 denotes air

2 denotes solution

\lambda_0 = 632.8 nm

From Snell's law we have the relation

n_1sin\theta_1=n_2sin\theta_2\\\Rightarrow n_2=\dfrac{n_1sin\theta_1}{sin\theta_2}\\\Rightarrow n_2=\dfrac{1\times sin33}{sin24.84}\\\Rightarrow n_2=1.29649

Refractive index of the solution is 1.29649

Wavelength is given by

\lambda=\dfrac{\lambda_0}{n_2}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\dfrac{632.8}{1.29649}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=488.08706\ nm

The wavelength of the solution is 488.08706 nm

Frequency is given by

f=\dfrac{c}{\lambda}\\\Rightarrow f=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{488.08706\times 10^{-9}}\\\Rightarrow f=6.14644\times 10^{14}\ Hz

The frequency is 6.14644\times 10^{14}\ Hz

v=\dfrac{c}{n_2}\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{1.29469}\\\Rightarrow v=231715700.28346\ m/s

The speed in the solution is 231715700.28346 m/s

To get off a frozen lake, a 70 kg person removes his shoe of mass 0.175 kg and throws it horizontally away from the shore at a v
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

the person will be in the shore at 10.73 minutes after launch the shoe.

Explanation:

For this we will use the law of the lineal momentum.

L_i = L_f

Also,

L = MV

where M is de mass and V the velocity.

replacing,

M_i V_i = M_{fp}V_{fp} + M_{fz}V_{fz}

wher Mi y Vi are the initial mass and velocity, Mfp y Vfp are the final mass and velocity of the person and Mfz y Vfz are the final mass and velocity of the shoe.

so, we will take the direction where be launched the shoe as negative. then:

(70)(0) = (70-0.175)(V_fp) + (0.175)(-3.2m/s)

solving for V_fp,

V_fp = \frac{(3.2)(0.175)}{69.825}

V_fp = 0.008m/s

for know when the person will be in the shore we will use the rule of three as:

1 second -------------- 0.008m

t seconds-------------- 5.15m

solving for t,

t = 5.15m/0.008m

t = 643.75 seconds = 10.73 minutes
