Answer:
13.6 cm
Explanation:
From Snell's law:
n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂
In the air, n₁ = 1, and light from the horizon forms a 90° angle with the vertical, so sin θ₁ = sin 90° = 1.
Given n₂ = 4/3:
1 = 4/3 sin θ
sin θ = 3/4
If x is the radius of the circle, then sin θ is:
sin θ = x / √(x² + 12²)
sin θ = x / √(x² + 144)
Substituting:
3/4 = x / √(x² + 144)
9/16 = x² / (x² + 144)
9/16 x² + 81 = x²
81 = 7/16 x²
x ≈ 13.6
Answer:
5.66 × 10⁻²³ m/s
Explanation:
If i assume i can jump as high as h = 2 m, my initial velocity is gotten from v² = u² + 2gh. Since my final velocity v = 0, u = √2gh = √(2 × 9.8 × 2) = √39.2 m/s = 6.26 m/s.
Since initial momentum = final momentum,
mv₁ + MV₁ = mv₂ + MV₂ where m, M, v₁, V₁, v₂ and V₂ are my mass, mass of earth, my initial velocity, earth's initial velocity, my final velocity and earth's final velocity respectively.
My mass m = 54 kg, M = 5.972 × 10²⁴ kg, v₁ = 6.26 m/s, V₁ = 0, v₂ = 0 and V₂ = ?
So mv₁ + M × 0 = m × 0 + MV₂
mv₁ = MV₂
V₂ = mv₁/M = 54kg × 6.26 m/s/5.972 × 10²⁴ kg = 338.093/5.972 × 10²⁴ = 56.61 × 10⁻²⁴ m/s = 5.661 × 10⁻²³ m/s ≅ 5.66 × 10⁻²³ m/s
If you are given distance and a period of time, you can calculate
the speed. The velocity of an object is the rate of change of its position with
respect to a frame of reference, and is a function of time. Velocity is
equivalent to a specification of its speed and direction of motion (e.g. 60
km/h to the north).
Answer:
7.22 × 10²⁹ kg
Explanation:
For the material to be in place, the gravitational force on the material must equal the centripetal force on the material.
So, F = gravitational force = GMm/R² where M = mass of neutron star, m = mass of object and R = radius of neutron star = 17 km
The centripetal force F' = mRω² where R = radius of neutron star and ω = angular speed of neutron star
So, since F = F'
GMm/R² = mRω²
GM = R³ω²
M = R³ω²/G
Since ω = 500 rev/s = 500 × 2π rad/s = 1000π rad/s = 3141.6 rad/s = 3.142 × 10³ rad/s and r = 17 km = 17 × 10³ m and G = universal gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²
Substituting the values of the variables into M, we have
M = R³ω²/G
M = (17 × 10³ m)³(3.142 × 10³ rad/s)²/6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²
M = 4913 × 10⁹ m³ × 9.872 × 10⁶ rad²/s²/6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²
M = 48,501.942 × 10¹⁵ m³rad²/s² ÷ 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²
M = 7217.66 × 10²⁶ kg
M = 7.21766 × 10²⁹ kg
M ≅ 7.22 × 10²⁹ kg
Answer:
W = 19.845 J
Explanation:
Work is defined as W = Fdcos
, where F is the force exerted and d is the distance. Because the direction the ball is falling is the same direction as the force itself, = 0 deg, and since cos(0) = 1, this equation is equivalent to W = Fd. In this case, the force exerted is the weight force, which is equivalent to m * g. Substituting you get:
W = mgd = 0.810 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 2.5m
W = 19.845 J
