As a prank, your friends have kidnapped you in your sleep, and transported you out onto the ice covering a local pond. When you

wake up you are 32.5 m from the nearest shore. The ice is so slippery (i.e. frictionless) that you cannot seem to get yourself moving. You realize that you can use Newton's third law to your advantage, and choose to throw the heaviest thing you have, one boot, in order to get yourself moving. Take your weight to be 547 N. 1)(a) What direction should you throw your boot so that you will most quickly reach the shore?

The wavelength of a wave on a string is 1.2 meters. If the speed of the wave is 60 meters/second, what is its frequency? A. 0.20
anastassius [24]

Answer:

50 Hz

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave is given by

f=\frac{v}{\lambda}

where

v is the speed of the wave

\lambda is the wavelength

In this problem,

v = 60 m/s

\lambda=1.2 m

So the frequency is

f=\frac{60 m/s}{1.2 m}=50 Hz

The angle of elevation from a point on the ground to the top of a pyramid is 37 degrees 50​' The angle of elevation from a point
Serjik [45]

Answer:

The height of the pyramid is approximately 104 Ft. See the graphic attached.

Explanation:

First, you have to plot to realize that you have two rectangle triangles, formed by the different elevation points of view. From there you can have a system of two equations, with two unknown values.

Equation (1)

tan 37^{o}50'= \frac{Ph}{x} \\\\Ph=tan 37^{o}50'  x= 0.7766 x

Equation (2)

tan 18^{o}10'=\frac{Ph}{x+183} \\\\Ph=[tan 18^{o}10'][x+183]=[0.3281][x+183]

Matching (1) and (2)

0.7766 x=0.3281(x+183)\\\\(0.7766-0.3281)x=60.05\\\\x=\frac{60.05}{0.4485} =133.89ft

replacing x value in (1)

Ph=0.7766*133.89=103.9789\\Ph = 104 ft

A transverse wave on a rope is given by y(x,t)= (0.750cm)cos(π[(0.400cm−1)x+(250s−1)t]). part a part complete find the amplitude
Pani-rosa [81]
The amplitude of a wave corresponds to its maximum oscillation of the wave itself. 
In our problem, the equation of the wave is
y(x,t)= (0.750cm)cos(\pi [(0.400cm-1)x+(250s-1)t])
We can see that the maximum value of y(x,t) is reached when the cosine is equal to 1. When this condition occurs,
y(x,t)=0.750 cm
and therefore this value corresponds to the amplitude of the wave.

. An iron cube (ρ = 7860 kg/m3) having sides of 1 cm is submerged in open fresh water (ρ = 1000kg/m3) with its top surface at a
Korolek [52]

Answer:

\Delta P = 98.07\,Pa

Explanation:

The difference between top and bottom surfaces is computed by the following hydrostatic equivalence:

\Delta P = \rho_{w}\cdot g \cdot \Delta h

\Delta P = \left(1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} \right)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (0.01\,m)

\Delta P = 98.07\,Pa
