How does an octopus or a squid uses Newton's third law of motion to escape from enemies

Physics

Sloan [31]3 years ago
4 0
I think everytime they swim away, the water pushes the enemy back, which makes the octopus go faster. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Hope this helps.

A very narrow beam of white light is incident at 40.80° onto the top surface of a rectangular block of flint glass 11.6 cm thick
DerKrebs [107]
Dispersion angle = 0.3875 degrees. 
Width at bottom of block = 0.09297 cm 
Thickness of rainbow = 0.07038 cm 
 Snell's law provides the formula that describes the refraction of light. It is:
 n1*sin(θ1) = n2*sin(θ2)
 where
 n1, n2 = indexes of refraction for the different mediums
 Î¸1, θ2 = angle of incident rays as measured from the normal to the surface. 
 Solving for θ2, we get
 n1*sin(θ1) = n2*sin(θ2)
 n1*sin(θ1)/n2 = sin(θ2)
 asin(n1*sin(θ1)/n2) = θ2 
 The index of refraction for air is 1.00029, So let's first calculate the angles of the red and violet rays.
 Red:
 asin(n1*sin(θ1)/n2) = θ2
 asin(1.00029*sin(40.80)/1.641) = θ2
 asin(1.00029*0.653420604/1.641) = θ2
 asin(0.398299876) = θ2
 23.47193844 = θ2 
 Violet:
 asin(n1*sin(θ1)/n2) = θ2
 asin(1.00029*sin(40.80)/1.667) = θ2
 asin(1.00029*0.653420604/1.667) = θ2
 asin(0.39208764) = θ2
 23.08446098 = θ2 
 So the dispersion angle is:
 23.47193844 - 23.08446098 = 0.38747746 degrees. 
 Now to determine the width of the beam at the bottom of the glass block, we need to calculate the difference in the length of the opposite side of two right triangles. Both triangles will have a height of 11.6 cm and one of them will have an angle of 23.47193844 degrees, while the other will have an angle of 23.08446098 degrees. The idea trig function to use will be tangent, where
 tan(θ) = X/11.6
 11.6*tan(θ) = X
 So for Red:
 11.6*tan(θ) = X
 11.6*tan(23.47193844) = X
 11.6*0.434230136 = X
 5.037069579 = X 
 And violet:
 11.6*tan(θ) = X
 11.6*tan(23.08446098) = X
 11.6*0.426215635 = X
 4.944101361 = X 
 So the width as measured from the bottom of the block is: 5.037069579 cm - 4.944101361 cm = 0.092968218 cm 
 The actual width of the beam after it exits the flint glass block will be thinner. The beam will exit at an angle of 40.80 degrees and we need to calculate the length of the sides of a 40.80/49.20/90 right triangle. If you draw the beams, you'll realize that:
 cos(θ) = X/0.092968218
 0.092968218*cos(θ) = X 
 0.092968218*cos(40.80) = X
 0.092968218*0.756995056 = X
 0.070376481 = X 
 So the distance between the red and violet rays is 0.07038 cm.

A car travels along the motorway at a steady 70 m.p.h. How far will it travel in half an hour?
Sergeu [11.5K]

If a car is travelling 70 m.p.h that means it is travelling 70 miles PER HOUR and since we want to know half an hour we can do

70mph divided by 2 =35m.p half hour so the car is travelling 35miles in half an hour

An ocean wave traveling in one direction has a wavelength of 1.0 m and a frequency of 1.25 Hz. Take the direction of wave propag
aliina [53]

Answer:

a) v=1*1.25=1.25\: m/s

b) y(x,t)=2sin(2\pi( x-1.25 t)  

c) y(3,10)=1.73 m    

Explanation:

a) The speed of a wave is given by the following equation:

v=\lambda f

Where:

λ is the wavelength

f is the frequency

v=1*1.25=1.25\: m/s

b) The harmonic wave has the following equation:

y=Asin(kx-\omega t)

A is the amplitude (2 m)

k is the wavenumber (2π/λ)  

ω is the angular frequency (2πf)

y(x,t)=2sin(2\pi x-2\pi*1.25 t)  

y(x,t)=2sin(2\pi( x-1.25 t)  

c) Here we need to find the heigth at x=3 m and t =10 s, so we need to find y(3,10).

y(3,10)=2sin(2\pi(3-1.25*10)

y(3,10)=2sin(2\pi(3-1.25*10)              

y(3,10)=1.73 m              

I hope it helps you!
