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

Two children are throwing a ball back-and-forth straight across the back seat of a car. The ball is being thrown 7 mph relative
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

the ball will fly in AX direction, making angle of 8.84° from the motion of the car

Explanation:

Given the data in the question and as illustrated in the diagram below;

Now, Lets assume line AB represent the movement of the car,

AC is the movement of the ball been thrown back and forth in the back seat

Ax is the motion of the ball it flies off the window

so from the diagram, We can see triangle ABC

where AB is 45 mph and AC = 7 mph

and angle ∠CAB = 90°

using SOH CAH TOA

TOA; tanθ = Opposite / Adjacent

tanθ = Opposite / Adjacent

tan( ∠ ABC ) = AC /  AB

we substitute

tan( ∠ ABC ) = 7 /  45

tan( ∠ ABC ) = 0.15555

( ∠ ABC ) = tan⁻¹ 0.15555

( ∠ ABC ) = 8.84°

Therefor, angle ( ∠ ABC )  is 8.84°

Meaning angle ( ∠ XAA' ) is also 8.84°

Therefore, the ball will fly in AX direction, making angle of 8.84° from the motion of the car

Amber asked her roommate to turn down the radio because she was trying to study. Her roommate had increased the volume from a vo
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Difference threshold or also Just Noticeable Difference

Explanation:

The above mentioned case between room mates, where one room mate was able to detect a minute change in volume shows an instance of the difference threshold.

Difference threshold can be defined as stimulation at its minimum level that can be detected by an individual almost 50 % of the times.

It is the lowest possible level of sound that is detectable by a person.

That is what happened in the mentioned case that when the volume was increased from 14 to 15, Amber was able to detect it.

Test yourself: 1
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

F = 1500 [N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law, which tells us that the sum of all forces must be equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

ΣF = m*a

F = 1000*1.5

F = 1500 [N]
