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

Answer:

1. Reflection

2. travel from one medium to another

3. Same waves to travel in opposite direction.  

Explanation:

1. When a wave strikes a solid barrier, it bounces back in the same medium. This wave behavior of bouncing back is known as reflection. Its like a basketball hitting a backboard. The ball bounces back at the same angle as it was incident. ∠i = ∠r

2. For refraction to occur in a wave, the wave must travel from one medium to another. When light travels from through mediums of different optical densities, it bends. The wave bends away normal when it enters from denser medium to rarer medium. The wave bends towards the normal when it enters from rarer to denser medium. The angle of refraction and angle of incidence are related by Snell's law.

\frac{sin(i)}{sin(r)} = \frac{\mu_2}{\mu_1}

3. The formation of standing wave requires two same waves to travel in the opposite direction and interfere. The incident wave and reflected wave when interfere, form standing waves. There waves are also resonances or harmonics. A standing wave oscillates at one place and does not transfers any energy.

Suppose that you measure the length of a spaceship, at rest relative to you, to be 400 m. how long will you measure it to be if
Fantom [35]

Calculate the length of a spaceship as follows:

l = l₀√1 - v²/c²

=(400 m)√1 - (0.75c)2 c²

=264.575m.
