It's nighttime, and you've dropped your goggles into a 3.2-m-deep swimming pool. If you hold a laser pointer 1.2 m above the edg

e of the pool, you can illuminate the goggles if the laser beam enters the water 2.0 m from the edge.
How far are the goggles from the edge of the pool?

Answer:

Explanation:

Laser angle with water surface is given by: Tan α = 1/2.0= 0.5/

α = 26.56°

Laser angle with Normal = 90 - 26.56 = 63.44 °

Assuming a red laser, refractive index in water is 1.331.

Angle of refraction in water is given by:

Ref Ind = Sin i / Sin r

1.331 = Sin 63.44 / Sin r

Sin r = 0.8945 / 1.331 = 0.6721

Angle r = 42.22°

For the path in water:

Tan 42.22 = x / 3.2

x = 2.9m where x is the lateral displacement of the laser ince it hits the water

So the goggles are 2.0 + 2.9 = 4.9 m from edge of pool

A seagull flies at a velocity of 9.00 m/s straight into the wind.
RideAnS [48]

a)If it takes the bird 18.0 minutes to fly 6 km away from the earth, the wind's speed will be 4 m/s.

b) The bird would need 7 minutes and 42 seconds to fly back 6 kilometers if he turned around and flew with the wind.

c)Compared to the 133.33 seconds it would take without the wind, the overall round-trip time is affected by the wind.

<h3>What is velocity?</h3>

The change of distance with respect to time is defined as speed. Speed is a scalar quantity. It is a time-based component. Its unit is m/sec.

The given data in the problem is

A seagull flies at a velocity,\rm v_{SA}  = 9 \ m/sec

The time the bird takes,t=18.0 min

The distance traveled relative to the earth = 6.00 km

a)

The seagull's relative velocity with reference to the ground as;

\rm v_{sg} = \frac{6.00 \times 10^3 \ m }{(20 min) \times \frac{60 s }{1 \ min}} \\\\ v_{sg}= 5.00 \ m/sec

Air velocity with reference to the ground is;

\rm v_{AG}= v_{SG}-v_{SA} \\\\ v_{AG} = 5.00 \ m/sec - 9.00 \ m/sec \\\\ v_{AG} = -4.00 \ m/sec

b)

If the bird turns around and flies with the wind, The time will he take to return 6.00 km is;

\rm v_{SG}=v_{SA}+v_{AG} \\\\ v_{SG}=-900 \ m/sec +(-4.00 \ m/sec) \\\\ v_{SG}= -13.00 \ m/sec

The time the bird takes;

\rm t = \frac{x_{SG}}{v_{SG}} \\\\ t = \frac{6.00 \times 10^3 \ m }{13.00 \ m/sec } \\\\ t = 462 m/sec \\\\ t = 7  \ min \  and  \ 42  \ sec

c)\

The total round-trip time compared to what it would be with no wind. is;

\rm  t = 20 \ min( \frac{60 \ sec }{1 \ min} )+ 462 \ sec \\\\ t = 1200 \ sec +6 462 \ ec \\\\ t= 1662 \ sec

The time for the round trip is;

\rm  t = \frac{12 \times 10^ 3 }{ 9 \ m/sec }  \\\\ t  = 1333.33 \ sec

Hence the wind's speed, the time bird would need to fly back the total round-trip time will be  4 m/s, 7 minutes and 42 seconds and 1333.33 sec.

3. Sailors use a capstan (shown below) to raise and lower the anchor. It takes two sailors located 1 meter from the center to tu
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

B. 2 meters.

Explanation:

To rotate the capstan a certain amount of torque is required, and if each sailor applies a force F at a distance D from the center, then for two sailors the total torque will be

\tau = 2FD\\;

therefore,  for one sailor to apply the same torque it must be that the torque \tau_2 he applies must be equal to the torque that the two sailors applied:

FD_2 =2FD

which gives

D_2 = 2D.

and since D = 1\:meter,

\boxed{D_2 = 2\: meters}

which is choice B.

Metals are good conductors of electric current for which of the following reasons?They possess high concentrations of protonsThe
KatRina [158]

The correct answer is: They possess high concentrations of free electrons

The main characteristic of good conductors such as metals is the presence of movable electrically charged particles, or electrons. So, when an electric current is applied to a metal, the electrons will move and allow electricity to pass through them. Materials opposite of metals, with low electron mobility are not good conductors, instead they are called insulators.
