Answer:

Janet jumps off a high diving platform with a horizontal velocity of 2.89 m per s and lands in the water 1.5 s later. How high is the platform?

Platform is 11.025 meters high .

Explanation:

we have Vx = 2.89 m/s

time taken = 1.5 seconds

height of the platform = ?

so,

As Janet is jumping from a high diving platform from a certain unknown height their must be involvement of gravity in action.

we can use,

h = Vi*t+(1/2)*g*t^2

where ,

h = height

Vi = initial horizontal velocity that will be zero

t = time in seconds

g = gravity due to acceleration

now put the values

h = 0+(1/2)*(9.8)*(1.5)^2

h = 11.025-m

A recipe for a casserole calls for 1 cup of milk. If a chef currently has 0.5 gallons of milk, how many casseroles can the chef

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

<em>The chef can make 8 casseroles</em>

Explanation:

<u>Units Conversion</u>

We need to recall 1 gallon = 16 US cups.

A casserole needs 1 cup of milk, and the chef has 0.5 gallons of milk. Those 0.5 gallons are equivalent to 0.5*16 = 8 cups, thus the chef can make 8 casseroles.

A ray of light is moving from a material having a high indexof refraction into a material with a lower index of refraction.

luda_lava [24]

(a) Away from the normal

We can find the direction of bending of the ray of light by using Snell's equation:

$n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2$

where we have:

n1, n2: index of refraction of the first and second medium

$\theta_1, \theta_2$ ; angle that the incident and the refracted ray form with the normal to the surface

Here, the light ray moves from a material with high index of refraction to a material with lower index, so we have

$n_1 > n_2$

Re-arranging Snell's law we find

$sin \theta_2 = \frac{n_1}{n_2} sin \theta_1$

since we have

$\frac{n_1}{n_2}>1$

this implies

$sin \theta_2 > sin \theta_1\\\theta_2 > \theta_1$

so the ray of light bends away from the normal.

(b) The wavelength is greater in the second material (the one with lower index of refraction)

The wavelength of the light in a medium is given by

$\lambda=\frac{\lambda_0}{n}$

where

$\lambda_0$ is the wavelength of the light in a vacuum

n is the refractive index

The equation can be rewritten as

$\lambda_0 = \lambda_1 n_1 = \lambda_2 n_2$

and again it can be rewritten as

$\lambda_2 = \frac{n_1}{n_2} \lambda_1$

where

$\lambda_1 = 600 nm\\\frac{n_1}{n_2}>1$

Therefore, we have that the wavelength in the second medium (the one with lower index of refraction) is longer than the wavelength in the first medium.

(c) The frequency remains the same

Wavelength and speed of a light ray depend on the medium in which the wave is travelling through, however the frequency does not depend on that, so it remains the same in the two mediums.

A particle is acted upon by a net force F=F0e-kx, where F0 and k are constants. If the particle has velocity equal to zero at x=

yuradex [85]

Answer:

F₀ /k .

Explanation:

Force is variable

F=F₀ $e^{-kx}$

kinetic energy = work done by force

= ∫ F dx

= ∫F₀ $e^{-kx}$ dx

= F₀ $e^{-kx}$ / -k

E = F₀ $e^{-kx}$ / -k

= -F₀ /(k $e^{kx}$ )

For maximum E , $e^{kx}$ should be minimum ,

$e^{kx}$ is minimum for x = 0

maximum value of E = F₀ /k .

Which option is an example of a physical property?

solong [7]

The correct answer would be A. boiling point. And the reason to that is because pH, toxicity, and rusting ability are all examples of chemical properties.
