Physics
1 answer:
Sergeu [11.5K]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

When you jump off a train, you jump off a certain height and your downwards (vertical) velocity is zero. But your forward (horizontal) velocity is not. You will hit the ground on split second with your horizontal velocity practically the same as the train.

Explanation:

you be in serious injury.

A man is doing push-ups. he has a mass of 68 kg and his center of gravity is located at a horizontal distance of 0.70 m from his
lidiya [134]
Mass m = 68 kg
center of gravity from his palms x = 0.7 m
center of gravity from his feet x ' = 1 m
forces exerted by the floor on his palms and feet are F and F ' respectively.

with respect to palms :---------------------

( F*0 ) - (W * x ) + [ F ' * (x+x') ] = 0

             -mg*0.7 + F ' * 1.7 = 0    where W = weight = mg

F ' * 1.7 = mg * 0.7

          F ' = mg * 0.7 / 1.7

               = 68 *9.8 * ( 0.7 / 1.7 )

               = 274.4 N

with respect to feet :--------------------

( F ' * 0 ) -( W* x ' ) + [F * ( x + x') ] = 0

                -mg*1 + [ F * 1.7 ]= 0

                                 F = mg / 1.7

                                    = 392 N

A glass is half-full of water, with a layer of vegetable oil (n = 1.47) floating on top. A ray of light traveling downward throu
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

critical angle    = 64.79°

ray will not penetrate into the water

Explanation:

given details

refractive index of oil n1 = 1.47

refractive index of water n2= 1.33  

incident angle = 71.4 °

\theta_c = sin^{-1}(\frac{n2}{n1})

        = sin^{-1}(\frac{1.33}{1.47}

     critical angle    = 64.79°

incident angle > critical angle = reflection

incident angle < critical angle = refraction

In this case, 71.4 > 64.79 therefore it will undergo total internal reflection

therefore ray will not penetrate into the water
