As a runner crosses the finish line of a race, she starts decelerating from a velocity of 9 m/s at a rate of 2 m/s^2. Take the r

unner's velocity as she crosses the finish line to be in the positive direction. What is the runner’s displacement, in meters, during the first 5 seconds after crossing the finish line?

Answer:

- 1 m/s, 20 m

Explanation:

u = 9 m/s, a = - 2 m/s^2, t = 5 sec

Let s be the displacement and v be the velocity after 5 seconds

Use first equation of motion.

v = u + a t

v = 9 - 2 x 5 = 9 - 10 = - 1 m/s

Use second equation of motion

s = u t + 1/2 a t^2

s = 9 x 5 - 1/2 x 2 x 5 x 5

s = 45 - 25 = 20 m

Why is the ocean warmer than the air at night
Sliva [168]

You see, during the day the ocean collects heat from the sun. So the air above the ocean get warm at night, but the rest of the air on the land gets cooler because water has the ability to collect energy from the Sun.

Answer:

n_cladding = 1.4764

Explanation:

We are told that θ_max = 5 °

Thus;

θ_max + θ_c = 90°

θ_c = 90° - θ_max

θ_c = 90° - 5°

θ_c = 85°

Now, critical angle is given by;

θ_c = sin^(-1) (n_cladding/n_core)

sin θ_c = (n_cladding/n_core)

n_cladding = (n_core) × sin θ_c

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

n_cladding = 1.482 × sin 85

n_cladding = 1.4764
