Contrary to popular belief, a ski jumper does not achieve a large amount of "air" when doing a jump (less than 6 feet). This is

because the ramp is almost horizontal while the landing is a steep hill. If a ski jumper leaves the hill at 26 m/s in the horizontal direction then travels 240 meters down the slope, what was the vertical distance (dy) that the ski jumper fell?

Answer:

The vertical distance that the ski jumper fell is 417.45 m.

Explanation:

Given;

initial horizontal velocity of the jumper, V_x = 26 m/s

horizontal distance of the jumper, dx = 240 m

The time of the motion is given by;

dx = Vₓt

t = dx / Vₓ

t = 240 / 26

t = 9.23 s

The vertical distance traveled by the diver is given by;

d_y = V_yt + \frac{1}{2}gt^2

initial vertical velocity, V_y, = 0

d_y =  \frac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\d_y = \frac{1}{2}(9.8)(9.23)^2\\\\d_y = 417.45 \ m

Therefore, the vertical distance that the ski jumper fell is 417.45 m.

At 20 C, a steel rod of length 40.000 cm and a brass rod
balandron [24]

Answer:

a. stress in steel rod is -9.6 X 10⁷pa while stress in brass rod is -7.2 X 10⁷pa

b. new junction from steel rod is 40.0192cm while new junction from brass rod is 30.024cm

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> <u>identify the given parameters and standard parameters</u>

⇒Steel rod: length of rod = 40.000 cm

                    Young modulus(Υ) = 20 X 10¹⁰ pa

                    coefficient of linear expansion(α) = 1.2 X 10⁻⁵ K⁻¹

                     stress in the rod =?

 ⇒Brass rod: length of rod = 30.000 cm

                    Young modulus(Υ) = 9 X 10¹⁰ pa

                    coefficient of linear expansion(α) = 2.0 X 10⁻⁵ K⁻¹

                     stress in the rod =?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<u>Step 2:</u> <u>calculate the stress in each rod</u>

⇒Steel rod: stress in the rod = -Y*α*ΔT

                                                = (-20 X 10¹⁰ pa) (1.2 X 10⁻⁵ K⁻¹)(60-20)K

                                                = (-20 X 10¹⁰ pa) (1.2 X 10⁻⁵ K⁻¹)(40)K

                                                =  -9.6 X 10⁷ pa

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

⇒Brass rod: stress in the rod = -Y*α*ΔT

                                                = (-9 X 10¹⁰ pa) (2.0 X 10⁻⁵ K⁻¹)(60-20)K

                                                = (-9 X 10¹⁰ pa) (2.0 X 10⁻⁵ K⁻¹)(40)K

                                                =  -7.2 X 10⁷ pa

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

∴ stress in steel rod is -9.6 X 10⁷pa while stress in brass rod is -7.2 X 10⁷pa

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<u>Step 3:</u> <u>calculate the new length of each rod</u>

⇒Steel rod: New length = ΔL + L₀

                                   ΔL = α*L₀*ΔT

                                  ΔL = (1.2 X 10⁻⁵ K⁻¹)(40cm)(40)K

                                   ΔL = 1920 X 10⁻⁵ cm = 0.0192cm

                    New length = ΔL + L₀ = 0.0192cm + 40cm

                    New length = 40.0192cm

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

⇒Brass rod: New length = ΔL + L₀

                                    ΔL = α*L₀*ΔT

                                   ΔL = (2.0 X 10⁻⁵ K⁻¹)(30cm)(40)K

                                   ΔL = 2400 X 10⁻⁵ cm = 0.024cm

                    New length = ΔL + L₀ = 0.024cm + 30cm

                    New length = 30.024cm

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Therefore, new junction from steel rod is 40.0192cm while new junction from brass rod is 30.024cm

Does the refraction of light make a swimming pool seem deeper or shallower? explain your answer.
larisa [96]

The refraction of light makes a swimming pool seem <u>shallower</u>.

The swimming pool seems shallower because the rays of light coming from the bottom of the pool do not come with a straight path. The path of light is straight as long as it is in the water.

When lights come out of the water into the air it bents downwards. This bending is called refraction.

Refraction forms a virtual image of the pool and it seems shallower than it actually is to the observer. This only happens when light travels from one transparent medium into another having lower density.
