In this process, gravitational potential energy is converting into heat/thermal energy.

In fact, the skier starts at a certain height h, so it has gravitational potential energy equal to
U=mgh
as he slides down, he loses this energy. However, the problem says that the speed of the skier remains constant during the motion, so this energy is not converting into kinetic energy, which remains constant. The only possibility is that a frictional force between the skier and the ice is acting on the skier. When the friction acts, the energy of the skier is converted into motion of the molecules of the ice, heating it, so into thermal energy.

A diamond is underwater; A light ray enters one face of the diamond, then travels at an angle of 30 degrees with respect to the
otez555 [7]
According to snells law 

<span>n1 sin theta1 = n2 sin theta2
</span>n1  = 1.333 (water)
<span>n2  = 2.42 (diamond)</span>
 it is given that theta =30 degrees so 
by putting the values we have 

<span>1.333 sin theta = 2.42 sin 30 </span>

<span>sin theta = (2.42/1.333) *0.5 =65.2 degree
</span>so our conclusion is 

<span>the ray's angle of incidence θ1 on the diamond</span> = 65.2 degree.

Two identical loudspeakers 2.00 m apart are emitting sound waves into a room where the speed of sound is 340 m/s. Abby is standi
ki77a [65]

Answer:

The lowest possible frequency of sound for which this is possible is 1307.69 Hz

Explanation:

From the question, Abby is standing 5.00m in front of one of the speakers, perpendicular to the line joining the speakers.

First, we will determine his distance from the second speaker using the Pythagorean theorem

l₂ = √(2.00²+5.00²)

l₂ = √4+25

l₂ = √29

l₂ = 5.39 m

Hence, the path difference is

ΔL = l₂ - l₁

ΔL = 5.39 m - 5.00 m

ΔL = 0.39 m

From the formula for destructive interference

ΔL = (n+1/2)λ

where n is any integer and λ is the wavelength

n = 1 in this case, the lowest possible frequency corresponds to the largest wavelength, which corresponds to the smallest value of n.

Then,

0.39 = (1+ 1/2)λ

0.39 = (3/2)λ

0.39 = 1.5λ

∴ λ = 0.39/1.5

λ = 0.26 m

From

v = fλ

f = v/λ

f = 340 / 0.26

f = 1307.69 Hz

Hence, the lowest possible frequency of sound for which this is possible is 1307.69 Hz.
