The horse's position on the ground at time t is

x = (20 m/s) t

The baboon's height from the ground at time t is

y = 3 m - 1/2 g t²

where g = 9.80 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity.

The baboon falls and lands on the horse, so that the two animals meet when the baboon's height is 2 m from the ground, which happens after

2 m = 3 m - 1/2 g t²

1/2 g t² = 1 m

t² = (2 m) / (9.80 m/s²)

t ≈ 0.452 s

In this time, the horse reaches the tree, so its distance from it is

(20 m/s) * (0.452 s) ≈ 9.04 m

What would the final volume of 40 L of gas at 80 pascals be if the pressure increases to 130 pascals?

melomori [17]

Answer:

Final volume, V2 = 24.62 L

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial volume = 40 L

Initial pressure = 80 Pa

Final pressure = 130 Pa

To find the final volume V2, we would use Boyles' law.

Boyles states that when the temperature of an ideal gas is kept constant, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume occupied by the gas.

Mathematically, Boyles law is given by;

$PV = K$

$P_{1}V_{1} = P_{2}V_{2}$

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$80 * 40 = 130V_{2}$

$3200 = 130V_{2}$

$V_{2} = \frac {3200}{130}$

$V_{2} = 24.62$

Final volume, V2 = 24.62 Liters

Light is incident on the left face of an isosceles prism; with an apex angle of 49o, such that the light exiting the right face

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

$\mu = 1.645$

Explanation:

By Snell's law we know at the left surface

$\theta_i = 19^o$

$\theta_r = ?$

$\mu_1 = 1$

$\mu_2 = \mu$

now we have

$1 sin19 = \mu sin\theta_r$

$0.33 = \mu sin\theta_r$

now on the other surface we know that

angle of incidence = $\theta_r'$

$\theta_e = 90$

so again we have

$\mu sin\theta_r' = 1 sin90$

so we have

$\theta_r = sin^{-1}\frac{0.33}{\mu}$

$\theta_r' = sin^{-1}\frac{1}{\mu}$

also we know that

$\theta_r + \theta_r' = 49$

$sin^{-1}\frac{0.33}{\mu} + sin^{-1}\frac{1}{\mu} = 49$

By solving above equation we have

$\mu = 1.645$

If the mass of an object increases, how is its acceleration affected, assuming the net force acting on the object remains the sa

vovikov84 [41]

Based on Newton's second law of motion, the net force applied to an object is equal to the product of the mass of the object and the acceleration it experiences. That is,

F = ma

If we are to assume that the net force is constant and that the mass is increased, the acceleration should therefore decrease in order to make constant the value at the right-hand side of the equation.
