You are climbing in the High Sierra when you suddenly find yourself at the edge of a fog-shrouded cliff. To find the height of t

his cliff, you drop a rock from the top; 8.60 s later you hear the sound of the rock hitting the ground at the foot of the cliff.Part AIgnoring air resistance, how high is the cliff if the speed of sound is 330 m/s?Suppose you had ignored the time it takes the sound to reach you. In that case, would you have overestimated or underestimated the height of the cliff?a. underestimatedb. overestimated

5 0

Answer:

Height with sound ignored = Gravity x Time taken = 9.8 x 8.60 = 84.28 meters

Time taken by the sound = 84.28/330 = 0.255 seconds

Height with sound involved = (84.28 x 0.255) + 84.28 = 105.80 meters

a. Underestimated

The critical angle between a medium and air is 430. What is the speed of light in that medium?
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

The speed of light is that medium is 281907786.2 m/s.

Explanation:

since the critical angle is Фc = 430, we know that the refractive index is given by:

n = 1/sin(Фc)

  = 1/sin(430)

  = 1.06

then if n is the refractive index of the medium and c is the speed of light, then the speed of light in the medium is given by:

v = c/n

  = (3×10^8)/(1.06)

  = 281907786.2 m/s

Therefore, the speed of light is that medium is 281907786.2 m/s.

If a ball rolls at constant velocity, it is rolling at constant speed? explain
Shtirlitz [24]
Velocity is speed with direction. So, if velocity varies directly with speed, that statement would be true. A constant velocity would resort in a constant speed. They are connected and are dependant on each other.

I hope this helps!
