Explain what happens to a light wave that hits the surface of a pool.

A light wave that hits the surface of a pool gets refracted and gives us an apparent image of the surface of the pool, following the concepts of refraction.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Let’s recall the concept of refraction when a light wave passes from medium of rarer to denser. There is a change in the speed of light while travelling from medium of rarer to denser.

There can be a change in the direction as well. This property is known as “Refraction” and the best example to see refraction is watching the surface of a clean pond, lake or pool.

When the light travels from a rarer medium (air) to a denser medium (water), it changes its angle of direction and gets refracted and hit to our eye lenses. With this, we see the surface of the pool at a changed angle and it seems to be a bit shallow than its original depth.

A 1200 Kg car rounds a corner of radius r = 45m. If the coefficient of static friction between the ties and the road is us = 0.8
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

The greatest speed of the car is 19.36m/s

Explanation:

The maximum speed the car will attain without skidding is given by:

F= uN = umg ...eq1

But F = mv^2/r

mv^2/r = umg

Dividing both sides by m, leaves you with:

V= Sqrt(ugr)

Where u = coefficient of static friction

g = acceleration due to gravity

r = raduis

Given:

U = 0.82

r=0.82

g= 9.8m/s

V = Sqrt(0.82 × 9.8 × 45)

V = Sqrt(374.85)

V = 19.36m/s

If a ball is thrown vertically upward with a velocity of 80 ft/s, then its height after t seconds is s = 80t − 16t 2 . (a) what
MAXImum [283]
Max height occurs when v = 0.
v(t) = ds(t)/dt
v(t) = 80 - 32t
0 = 80 - 32t
t = 5/2

s(5/2) = 80(5/2) - 16(5/2)^2
s(5/2) = 100
Answer: 100 ft

96 = 80t - 16t²
t = 3, 2
(80 ± √256) / 32 using the quadratic equation.

v(2) = 16
v(3) = -16
