Answer:

  θ = 28.9

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use the law of refraction

          n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

where we use index 1 for air and index 2 for water where the fish is

        sin θ₂ = n₁ / n₂ sin θ₁

in this case the air repair index is 1 and the water 1.33

we substitute

        sin θ₂ = 1 / 1.33 sin t 40

        sin θ = 0.4833

         

        θ = sin⁻¹ 0.4833

        θ = 28.9

A cannonball is fired perfectly horizontally from the top of a 210 m tall cliff. It is fired with an initial velocity of 50 m/s.
pochemuha

Answer:

the horizontal distance covered by the cannonball before it hits the ground is 327.5 m

Explanation:

Given;

height of the cliff, h = 210 m

initial horizontal velocity of the cannonball, Ux = 50 m/s

initial vertical velocity of the cannonball, Uy = 0

The time for the cannonball to reach the ground is calculated as;

h = u_yt - \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\h = 0 - \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} } \\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 210}{9.8} }\\\\t  = 6.55 \ s

The horizontal distance covered by the cannonball before it hits the ground is calculated as;

X = U_x \times \ t\\\\X = 50 \times \ 6.55\\\\X = 327.5 \ m

Therefore, the horizontal distance covered by the cannonball before it hits the ground is 327.5 m

 why are waves faster in liquids and gases than in air
Alika [10]

Answer:

Sound travels faster in liquids than in gases because molecules are packed more closely together. This means that when the water molecules begin to vibrate, they quickly begin to collide with each other forming a rapidly moving compression wave. Sound travels over four times faster than in air

At an accident scene on a level road, investigators measure a car’s skid mark to be 88 m long. The accident occurred on a rainy
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

The the speed of the car is 26.91 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

distance d = 88 m

Kinetic friction = 0.42

We need to calculate the the speed of the car

Using  the work-energy principle

work done = change in kinetic energy

W=\Delta K.E

\mu\ mg\times d=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

v^2=2\mu g d

Put the value into the formula

v=\sqrt{2\times0.42\times9.8\times88}

v=26.91\ m/s

Hence, The the speed of the car is 26.91 m/s.

A ball is projected with an initial velocity of 40 meter per second and reached maximum height of 160 meters calculate tge angle
Andru [333]

There's a problem with the question as given. Even with a maximum projection angle of <em>θ</em> = 90°, the initial velocity is not large enough to get the ball up in the air 160 m. With angle 90°, the ball's height <em>y</em> at time <em>t</em> would be

<em>y</em> = (40 m/s) <em>t</em> - 1/2 <em>g t</em> ²

Set <em>y</em> = 160 m, and you'll find that there is no (real) solution for<em> t</em>, so the ball never attains the given maximum height.

From another perspective: recall that

<em>v </em>² - <em>v</em>₀² = 2<em>a </em>∆<em>y</em>

where

• <em>v</em>₀ = initial velocity

• <em>v</em> = final velocity

• <em>a</em> = acceleration

• ∆<em>y</em> = displacement

At its maximum height, the ball has zero vertical velocity, and ∆<em>y</em> = maximum height = 160 m. The ball is in free fall once it's launched, so <em>a</em> = -<em>g</em>.

So we have

0² - (40 m/s)² = -2<em>g </em>(160 m)

but this reduces to

(40 m/s)² = 2 (9.8 m/s²) (160 m)

1600 m²/s² ≠ 3136 m²/s²

Is the bike rider in the picture above demonstrating kinetic energy or potential energy? you need to explain your answer.
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

Kinetic energy

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is a function of velocity. Since the rider is moving at a certain speed, he's demonstrating kinetic energy. It can't be potential energy because potential energy encompass mgh
