Answer:

θ₀ = 84.78° (OR) 5.22°

Explanation:

This situation can be treated as projectile motion. The parameters of this projectile motion are:

R = Range of Projectile = 150 m

V₀ = Launch Speed of Projectile = 90 m/s

g = 9.8 m/s²

θ₀ = Launch angle (OR) Angle of Elevation = ?

The formula for range of a projectile is given as:

R = V₀² Sin 2θ₀/g

Sin 2θ₀ = Rg/V₀²

Sin 2θ₀ = (150 m)(9.8 m/s²)/(90 m/s)²

2θ₀ = Sin⁻¹ (0.18)

θ₀ = 10.45°/2

<u>θ₀ = 5.22°</u>

Also, we know that for the same launch velocity the range will be same for complementary angles. Therefore, another possible value of angle is:

θ₀ = 90° - 5.22°

<u>θ₀ = 84.78°</u>

Suppose Person A runs off the edge of the cliff at 2 m/s and Person B runs off the edge at 1 m/s. Which will hit the ground fart
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

<h2>Person A will hit a distance father</h2>

Explanation:

Based on the fact that the velocity of person A is more than that of person B, that is from the question, person A has a velocity of 2m/s and person B has a velocity of 1m/s, this clearly shows that person A has the tendency to hit a distance farther from the cliff than person B.

What can you say about the relationship between the index of refraction and the wavelength of a color?
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

There is a dependency relationship between the refractive index of each substance and the radiation wavelength.

The refractive index in a given medium is inversely proportional to the wavelength of a color.

For example:

The rays of the red color have a wavelength greater than the rays of the blue color, therefore they have a lower refractive index and consequently a light scattering less than the blue.

Snell's law :

n₂/n₁ = v₁/v₂ =  λ₁ /λ₂

*n: (refractive index)

v: (speed of light propagation)

λ: (wavelength)

What is the answer to this problem
vredina [299]

420 m of total distance is covered by the skier on travelling from A to D.

Explanation:

As from the picture, it can be seen that first the skier moved from position A to position B. And the distance covered by this movement is 180 m. Then as the skier travels from position B to position C, the distance between these two positions is 140 m from the figure. As distance is a scalar quantity, the direction is not taken into consideration. So only the magnitudes of the distance between those points are added.

Now, the distance between A to B is 180 m and then from B to C is 140 m,  atlast from C to D, the distance is given as 100 m.

So, the total distance will be the sum of all the above found distances. Thus, the total distance will be 180+140+100 = 420 m.

As the question is about distance, so no need to write the direction for it.

Thus, the final answer will be 420 m of total distance is covered by the skier on travelling from A to D.
