A bird flies west with a velocity of 8 m/s . How long does it take the bird to travel a horizontal distance of 400 meters ?
1 answer:
The time taken is 50 s
Explanation:
For a body moving in uniform motion (= at constant velocity), the velocity of the body is given by:
where
v is the velocity
d is the distance covered
t is the time taken
In this problem, we have a bird travelling with uniform motion. We know that:
v = 8 m/s is the velocity of the bird
d = 400 m is the distance travelled
Solving for t, we find the time the bird needs to cover this distance:

Here is the answer, dud
Answer:
13.6 cm
Explanation:
From Snell's law:
n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂
In the air, n₁ = 1, and light from the horizon forms a 90° angle with the vertical, so sin θ₁ = sin 90° = 1.
Given n₂ = 4/3:
1 = 4/3 sin θ
sin θ = 3/4
If x is the radius of the circle, then sin θ is:
sin θ = x / √(x² + 12²)
sin θ = x / √(x² + 144)
Substituting:
3/4 = x / √(x² + 144)
9/16 = x² / (x² + 144)
9/16 x² + 81 = x²
81 = 7/16 x²
x ≈ 13.6
