Answer:

The actual elevation angle is 12.87 degrees

Explanation:

In the attachment you can clearly see the situation. The angle of elevation as seen for the scuba diver is shown in magenta, we conclude that \theta_2=90-43=47.

Using Snell's Law we can write:

n_1\sin(\theta_1)=n_2\sin(\theta_2)

\implies \sin(\theta_1)=\frac{n_2}{n_1}\sin(\theta_2),

Let's approximate the index of refraction of the air (medium 1 in the picture) to 1.

We thus have:

\sin(\theta_1)=n_2\sin(\theta_2)=1.333\sin(47)

\implies\theta_1=\arcsin[n_2\sin(\theta_2)]=\arcsin[1.333\sin(47)]\approx 77.13. Calling \alpha the actual angle of elevation, we get from the picture that \alpha=90-77.13=12.97

In a level parking lot, a man with a mass of 100 kg gives a shove to a boy with a mass of 50 kg who is on roller skates. The boy
natita [175]

Answer:

100N

Explanation:

Newton's third law states that whenever an object exerts a force on a second object, it exerts a force of equal magnitude and direction but in the opposite direction on the first. It is often stated as follows: Each action always opposes an equal but opposite reaction.

The subject 1 of 100kg is making a force F, to move an object from 50Kg to 2m / s ^ 2. This Force the object of 50Kg will reflect it in the opposite direction by Newton's third law.

Once the parameter of the force that both are experiencing is clarified, Newton's second law is applied to their respective calculation.

F = ma = 50kg * 2m / s ^ 2 = 100N

That is the force the boy exert on the man during the shove.

A train that has wheels with a diameter of 91.44 cm (36 inches used for 100 ton capacity cars) slows down from 82.5 km/h to 32.5
podryga [215]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

The initial velocity = u = 82.5 km/h = 22.92 m/s, the final velocity = 32.5 km/h = 9.03 m/s, diameter = 91.55 cm = 0.9144 cm

radius (r) = diameter / 2 = 0.9144 / 2= 0.4572 m

a) Initial angular velocity (\omega_o) = u /r = 22.92 / 0.4572 = 50.13 rad/s, final velocity  (ω) = v / r = 9.03 / 0.4592 = 19.67 rad / s

θ = 95 rev * 2πr = 95 * 2π * 0.4572= 272.9 rad

angular acceleration (α) is:

\omega^2=\omega_o^2+2\alpha \theta\\\\19.67^2-50.13^2=2\alpha(272.9)\\\\19.67^2=50.13^2+2\alpha(272.9)\\\\2\alpha(272.9)=-2126.108\\\\\alpha=-3.89\ rad/s^2\\\\

b)

\omega=\omega_o+\alpha t\\\\19.67=50.13+(-3.89t)\\\\3.89t=50.13-19..67\\\\3.89t=30.46\\\\t=7.83\ s

c) θ = 95 rev * 2πr = 95 * 2π * 0.4572= 272.9 rad

a) When it stops, the final angular velocity is 0. Hence:

\omega^2=\omega_o^2+2\alpha \theta\\\\0=50.13^2+2(-3.89)\theta\\\\2(3.89)\theta=50.13^2\\\\2(3.89)\theta=2513\\\\\theta=323\ rad\\\\revolutions=\frac{\theta}{2\pi r}=\frac{323}{2\pi(0.4572)}  =112.4\ rev

θ = 323 rad

un avión aterriza en la superficie de un portaaviones a 50 m/s y se detiene por completo en 120 metros, ¿cuál es la aceleración
sergejj [24]

Answer:

La aceleración necesaria para detener el avión es - 10.42 m/s².

Explanation:

Un movimiento uniformemente acelerado (M.U.A) es aquél cuya aceleración es constante y la velocidad de un objeto cambia a medida que el movimiento evoluciona.

Siendo la aceleración "a" el cambio de velocidad al tiempo transcurrido en un punto A a B, la velocidad inicial la velocidad que tiene un cuerpo al iniciar su movimiento en un período de tiempo y la velocidad final la velocidad que tiene un cuerpo al finalizar su movimiento en un período de tiempo, entonces en  M.U.A se cumple:

Vf² - Vo² = 2*a*d

donde:

  • Vf: Velocidad final
  • Vo: Velocidad inicial
  • a: Aceleración
  • d: Distancia recorrida

En este  caso:

  • Vf: 0 m/s, porque el avión se detiene
  • Vo: 50 m/s
  • a: ?
  • d: 120 m

Reemplazando:

(0 m/s)² - (50 m/s)² = 2*a*120 m

Resolviendo:

a=\frac{(0 m/s)^{2} -(50 m/s)^{2} }{2*120 m}

a= - 10.42 m/s²

<u><em>La aceleración necesaria para detener el avión es - 10.42 m/s².</em></u>

Five hundred million years ago, basaltic lava flowed in an area now known as Monticello, the historic home of Thomas Jefferson.
aev [14]

Explanation:

               Igneous -  metamorphic -  sedimentary

A rock cycle provides the cyclic transformation of one rock type to another in nature.

There are three main types of rock involved in the rock cycle;

  • igneous rocks are derived from the cooling and solidification of molten magma
  • metamorphic rocks are changed rocks subjected to intense pressure and temperature
  • sedimentary rocks are derived from rock sediments that have been lithified.

The history of the rock in Monticello begins with igneous rock formation. Basalt is an igneous rock that forms from the cooling and solidification of molten magma. Under intense pressure and temperature regimes, they are changed to metamorphic rocks.

Agents of denudation such as wind, water and glacier weathers the rock and disintegrates it. They are then carried into basins where they are deposited. Here they form sedimentary rock.

The process still goes on as the sedimentary rock gets taken into depth, they can either melt to form igneous rock or be changed to metamorphic rocks.
