Sarah and her friends the swim team are playing on the high dive. One of Sarah's friends throws her back pack, containing her sw

im supplies, into the pool from the high dive platform. The back pack weighs 50 N. When the back pack hits the water, it encounters a 50.0 N upward resistance force. The swim coach, who also happens to be the physics teacher says: "This is a great opportunity to discuss the forces exerted on Sarah's back pack!"
Several students in the group made comments to the Coach about the back pack. Which student has the correct analysis of the forces and motion of the back pack?


A) Once the back pack hits the water, the forces are balanced and the back pack will stop moving.
B) The upward force of the water on the back pack is less than the downward pull of gravity. The back pack accelerates until it reaches the bottom of the pool.
C) Once the back pack hits the water, the forces are balanced (50 N down and 50 N up). But when the back pack hits the water, it stops accelerating; it does not stop moving.
Eliminate
D) Upon hitting the water, the back pack will accelerate upwards because the water applies an upward force. The forces are unbalanced; the upward force is greater than gravity.

An object, located 80.0 cm from a concave lens, forms an image 39.6 cm from the lens on the same side as the object. What is the
kramer

Answer:

-78.4 cm

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the lens equation:

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}

where

p is the distance of the object from the lens

q is the distance of the image from the lens

f is the focal length

Here we have

p = 80.0 cm

q = -39.6 cm (negative, because the image is on the same side as the object , so it is a virtual image)

Substituting, we find f:

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{80.0 cm}+\frac{1}{-39.6 cm}=-0.0128 cm^{-1}

f=\frac{1}{0.0128 cm^{-1}}=-78.4 cm

Earth's orbit around the Sun is slightly elliptical. Thus, Earth actually gets closer to the Sun during part of the year. What h
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

C)Earth's orbital speed is greater when it is closer to the Sun than when it is farther from the Sun.

Explanation:

We can use Kepler's 2nd law or the law of area to answer this question.

The law states that the rate of area swept out by a planet's orbit is same throughout the orbit. For the farthest point since the distance is large as compared to to the nearest point, the possibility that area swept is large. Hence, to compensate the extra swept area. the orbital speed has to decrease  at the largest point.

Hence, planet's speed is greater when it is closer to sun than the speed when it is farther.
