Answer:

648 m

Explanation:

Let the length of slope be 'L' m.

Given:

Initial velocity of the child (u) = 0

Angle of inclination of the slope (x) = 15.0°

Time taken to reach the bottom (t) = 22.6 s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

No frictional forces act.

Now, acceleration acting on the child along the slope can be determined by resolving the acceleration due to gravity along the slope.

So, acceleration along the slope is given as:

a_{slope}=g\sin(x)=9.8\sin(15)=2.536\ m/s^2

Now, use to equation of motion along the slope to find the length of slope.

Therefore,

L=ut+\frac{1}{2}a_{slope}t^2\\\\L=0+\frac{1}{2}(2.536)(22.6)^2\\\\L=1.268\times 510.76=647.6\approx 648\ m

Therefore, the slope is 648 m long.

Option (1) is correct.

Answer:

The speed of light changes as it moves between media. This causes refraction. Angles of refraction can be calculated using known speeds or wavelengths. Beyond the critical angle, light is reflected.

pantera1 [17]

Addition of vectors:

vector u

has a magnitude of 20 and a direction of 0º with respect to the horizontal, vector v has a magnitude of 40 and a direction of 60º with respect to the horizontal.

a) Find the magnitude and direction of the resultant to the nearest whole

number.

Vector Sum:

The resultant of two vectors is simply the vector sum of the vectors. There are a handful of ways to present the resultant factor; the notation that shows the vector magnitude and direction is called the polar vector notation. An example of a vector presented in polar vector notation is

a∠θ where a is the magnitude and θis the angle that the vector makes with the horizontal axis.

Answer and Explanation:

Let's first present the vectors in rectangular vector notation.

For the vector →u of magnitude 20 and direction 0∘ to the horizontal axis, the vector is →u=^i20.

For the vector →v

of magnitude 40 and direction 60∘ to the horizontal axis, the vector is →v=^i40cos60∘+^j40sin60∘.

The resultant vector →w is the vector sum of the vectors, i.e.

→w=→u+→v

=^i20+^i40cos60∘+^j40sin60∘

=^i(20+40cos60∘)+^j(40sin60∘)

=^i40+^j20√3

For a vector ^ix+^jy, the magnitude of the vector is √x2+y2 and the direction above the horizontal axis is θ=tan−1(yx).

Let's use the formulas:

|→w|∠θ=√(40)2+(20√3)2∠tan−1(20√340)≈52.9∠40.9∘

The magnitude of the vector is about 53 units in the direction 41-degrees above the horizontal axis.
