Using energy considerations and assuming negligible air resistance, show that a rock thrown from a bridge 20.0 m above water wit

h an initial speed of 15.0 m/s strikes the water with a speed of 24.8 m/s independent of the direction thrown. (Hint: show that $$K_i + U_i = K_f + U_f)$$

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Height of the bridge is 20m

Initial before he throws the rock

The height is hi = 20 m

Then, final height hitting the water

hf = 0 m

Initial speed the rock is throw

Vi = 15m/s

The final speed at which the rock hits the water

Vf = 24.8 m/s

Using conservation of energy given by the question hint

Ki + Ui = Kf + Uf

Where

Ki is initial kinetic energy

Ui is initial potential energy

Kf is final kinetic energy

Uf is final potential energy

Then,

Ki + Ui = Kf + Uf

Where

Ei = Ki + Ui

Where Ei is initial energy

Ei = ½mVi² + m•g•hi

Ei = ½m × 15² + m × 9.8 × 20

Ei = 112.5m + 196m

Ei = 308.5m J

Now,

Ef = Kf + Uf

Ef = ½mVf² + m•g•hf

Ef = ½m × 24.8² + m × 9.8 × 0

Ef = 307.52m + 0

Ef = 307.52m J

Since Ef ≈ Ei, then the rock thrown from the tip of a bridge is independent of the direction of throw

When passing from a low index of refraction medium to a high index of refraction medium which way does the refracted ray bend: t
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

toward the normal

Explanation:

Light travels at different speed in different mediums.

Refractive index is equal to velocity of the light 'c' in empty space divided by the velocity 'v' in the substance.

Or ,

n = c/v.

Light travels at a slower speed in water as compared to air because there are more number of interfering molecules in the path of the light in case of water as compared to liquid.  

When a light travels from lower denser medium say water to higher denser medium say water, it bends towards the perpendicular (normal) as its speed reduces in that medium.

You are packing for a trip to another star. During the journey, you will be traveling at 0.99c. You are trying to decide whether
Elenna [48]

Answer:

Do neither of these things ( c )

Explanation:

For length contraction : Is calculated considering the observer moving at a speed that is relative the object at rest applying this formula

L = (l) \sqrt{1 -\frac{v^{2} }{c^{2} } }

where l = Measured distance from object at rest, L =  contracted measured in relation to the observer , v = speed of clock , c = speed of light

you will do neither of these things because before you can make such decisions who have to view the object in this case yourself from a different frame from where you are currently are, if not your length and width will not change hence you can't make such conclusions/decisions .

Consider a situation where a constant force of 25 N acts on an object having a mass of 2 kg for 3 seconds. What is the work done
blagie [28]

Answer:

Work done W =1406.25 J

Explanation:

Work done on a body can be calculated using newton's 2nd laws:

F=ma

\Rightarrow a=\frac{F}{m}

Hence acceleration of the block is given by:

\Rightarrow a=\frac{25}{2}=12.5m/s^2

Displacement of the object is given by:

\Rightarrow S=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

Substitute the values

\Rightarrow S=0*3+\frac{1}{2}(12.5)3^2

\Rightarrow S=56.25 m

Now work done is given by:

 W=F.S

W = 25×56.25

W =1406.25 J
