Weight is a force so by F = ma, we have
weight = 10 x 1.6
= 16 N
Answer:
a).
b).
rpm
c).v=0.5865 m/sec.
Explanation:
Given:
a).
The angular speed in radians per seconds is
b).
rpm
c)
Child's distance per revolution
(pi*2r) = 43.988 metres.
v=(43.988 x 0.0133333) = 0.5865 m/sec.
This is a defective, misleading question, and should never be asked in a Physics class.
There is no such thing as the force due to the impact.
If you know how long it takes the clam to stop once it begins to hit the dirt,
then you can calculate the impulse transferred to it, and tease a force out
of that. But the question doesn't give us the time.
It depends on the material of the surface. Was the clam dropped onto dirt ?
Into a dumpster ? Onto grass ? Concrete ? Styrofoam ? Mud ? The answer
is different in each case, and we still need to know the short length of time
AFTER it first encountered whatever surface brought it to rest.
I would kick this question back to the Physics teacher. It's meaningless,
and the longer you try to work on it, the more nonsense you'll plant into
your head that'll need to be dug out later.
Answer:
θ = 10.28º
Explanation:
To find the angle of refraction use the equation of refraction
n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂
where index 1 is for incident light and index 2 is for refracted light.
sin θ₂ = n₁ / n₂ sin θ
let's calculate
sin = 1 / 1.3 sin 0.23
sin = 0.175
θ= 0.17528 rad
let's reduce to degrees
θ = 0.17528 rad (180ª / pi rad)
θ = 10.28º
Initially, the velocity vector is 
. At the same height, the x-value of the vector will be the same, and the y-value will be opposite (assuming no air resistance). Assuming perfect reflection off the ground, the velocity vector is the same. After 0.2 seconds at 9.8 seconds, the y-value has decreased by 
, so the velocity is 
.
Converting back to direction and magnitude, we get
