Answer:

A. 1222,10 N

Explanation:

First, we determine the value of the acceleration that the hydraulic launching system must guarantee. Let’s remember that the definition of acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with respect to time. Therefore:

a_hyd = ∆v/∆t = (54 m/s-0)/(3,8 s-0) = 14,21 m/s^2  

According to Newton’s second law:

∑F_net = m*a = 86 kg*14,21 m/s^2 = 1222,10 N

So, the net force required to accelerate an 86-kg man is 1222,10 N

Have a nice day! :D

A beam of light strikes a sheet of glass at an angle of 57.0°. with the normal in air. You observe that red light makes an angle
Lena [83]

Answer:

a) Red: 1.34

Violet: 1.40

b) Red: 2.23\times10^8\frac{m}{s}

Violet: 2.14\times10^8\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

a) We should use Snell's law to find the index of refraction:

n_{1}sin\theta_{i}=n_{2}sin\theta_{t}

with n1 the index of refraction of air, n2 the index of refraction of the glass, θi the angle of the incident ray respects the normal an θt the angle between the refracted ray an the normal. It's common to approximate n1=1

solving n2 for red light:

\frac{sin\theta_{i}}{sin\theta_{t}}=n_{2}

n_2=\frac{sin57.0}{sin38.1}= 1.34

solving n2 for violet light:

\frac{sin\theta_{i}}{sin\theta_{t}}=n_{2}

n_2=\frac{sin57.0}{sin36.7}= 1.40

b) Index of refraction on a medium is defined as the ratio between the velocity of electromagnetic waves on vacuum (velocity of light c) and the velocity in medium (v):

n_2=\frac{c}{v}

solving v for red:

v=\frac{c}{n_2}=\frac{3\times10^8}{1.34}=2.23\times10^8\frac{m}{s}

solving v for violet

v=\frac{c}{n_2}=\frac{3\times10^8}{1.40}=2.14\times10^8\frac{m}{s}

bixtya [17]
Using the theorem of kinetic energy
1/2mVf² - 1/2mVi²= WF + Wp,     Wp=0
WF = F. AB, AB=5m and F= 40N, m=20kg
so the final kinetic  is KEf= 1/2mVf² = WF =<span>F. AB= 40*5=200J
</span>
the final velocity is 1/2mVf² <span>=200, implies   Vf= sqrt(20)=2sqrt(5)m/s</span>

Electromagnetic waves carry energy. This phenomenon is also called electromagnetic radiation. How is energy transferred in elect
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

Energy is carried by the electric and magnetic fields

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves consist of electric fields and magnetic fields which oscillate perpendicularly to the direction of propagation of the waves (for this reason, they are called transverse waves).

Electric fields and magnetic fields both possess energy, and this energy is carried through space by the wave. Note that electromagnetic waves do not carry matter, but only energy (in fact, they do not have mass). Moreover, electromagnetic waves are the only type of waves that do not need a medium to propagate: in fact, they can also travel through a vacuum.
