<h2>Answer:</h2>

The force he applies on himself is balanced force.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Balanced force means the net forces applied on himself will be zero. Which is forces applied on right side will be equal to left side forces. And upward forces will be equal to downward forces.
  • According to first law of motion, an object in rest can never be in motion except some force is exerted on it to do so.
  • Hence if force on window washer will be balanced force ( Net force = 0 ), then there will be no motion and he will be in same position.

Light travels in a straight line at a constant speed of 300000 m/s. What is the acceleration of light?
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

As light travels in a straight line at a constant speed, it's acceleration is <u>0 m/s²</u>.

There is no rate of change of speed, so there is no acceleration.

  • <u>0 m/s²</u> is the right answer.

The nose of an ultralight plane is pointed south, and its airspeed indicator shows 28 m/s . the plane is in a 18 m/s wind blowin
leva [86]
<span>Here I think you have to find the velocity in x and y components where x is east and y is north
 So as air speed indicator shows the negative speed in y component and adding it in
  air speed while multiplying with the direction component we will get the velocity as velocity is a vector quantity so direction is also required
 v=-28 m/s y + 18 m/s (- x/sqrt(2) - y/sqrt(2))
 solving
  v= -12.7 m/s x-40.7 m/s y
 if magnitude of velocity or speed is required then
  speed= sqrt(12.7^2 + 40.7^2)
 speed= 42.63 m/s
 if angle is asked
  angle = arctan (40.7/12.7)
 angle = 72.67 degrees south of west</span>

The energy in the typical thunderstorm is about 1.4×1011j. a typical lightning flash transfers 30 c across a potential differenc
iragen [17]
780 seconds, or 13 minutes.

In the future, please use proper capitalization. There's a significant difference in the meaning between mV and MV. One of them indicated millivolts while the other indicates megavolts. For this problem, I'll make the following assumptions about the values presented. They are:
Total energy = 1.4x10^11 Joules (J)
Current per flash = 30 Columbs (C)
Potential difference = 30 Mega Volts (MV)

First, let's determine the power discharged by each bolt. That would be the current multiplied by the voltage, so
30 C * 30x10^6 V = 9x10^8 CV = 9x10^8 J

Now that we know how many joules are dissipated per flash, let's determine how flashes are needed.
1.4x10^11 / 9x10^8 = 1.56E+02 = 156

Since each flash takes 5 seconds, that means that it will take about 5 * 156 = 780 seconds which is about 780/60 = 13 minutes.

mestny [16]
<span>Answer: sin(incidence)/sin(refraction) = n_refraction/n_incidence sin(50) / sin(x) = 1.5 / 1 sin(50)/1.5 = sin(x) sin(x) = 0.511 x = 30.71o B] 50 degrees, same as the angle going in. You can show that by reversing the steps in A. sin(30.7)/sin(x) = 1/1.5 C] The glass is 5 cm thick. The reference angle = 30.7o Tan(30.7) = displacement / thickness Tan(30.7) = x / 5 5*sin(30.7) = x x = 2.97 cm which is the displacement.</span>

A nearsighted person cannot see objects further away than 10 m clearly. This person wants to be able to see objects 300 m away w
icang [17]

Answer:

d.-10.3m

Explanation:

Note for short sightedness the focal length is negative

Let do be object distance=10m

And di= image distance=-300m

Using lens formula

F=do*di/do-di= 10*300/10-300=-10.3m
