Use this scenario to answer the four following questions. A person is on a sled on top of a snow covered hill. The vertical dist

ance from the top of the hill to the bottom is 12 meters. The sled and the person riding it have a combined mass of 60 kg. To start, person is pushed. The initial velocity is 1 m/s. At the bottom of the hill, the sled and the person have a velocity of 10 m/s. Use g=9.8 m/s2 or g=10 m/s2 for the gravitational acceleration. What is the initial total mechanical energy of the person and their sled?

Answer:7086 J

Explanation:

Given

height of hill from ground(h)=12 m

combined mass of sled and man(m)=60 kg

initial velocity(u)=1 m/s

at bottom velocity(v)=10 m/s

Total mechanical energy of the person

E=Potential Energy+Kinetic Energy

E=mgh+\frac{mv^2}{2}

E=60\times 9.8\times 12+\frac{60\times 1^2}{2}

E=7056+30=7086 J

A green light is submerged 2.70 m beneath the surface of a liquid with an index of refraction 1.31. What is the radius of the ci
Anettt [7]

Answer:

The radius is  r = 3.1905 \ m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

        The  distance  beneath the liquid  is  d =  2.70 \ m

        The refractive index of the liquid is  n_i  =  1.31

Now the critical value is mathematically represented as

         \theta =  sin ^{-1} [\frac{1}{n_i} ]

substituting values

         \theta =  sin ^{-1} [\frac{1}{131} ]

         \theta  =  49.76^o

Using SOHCAHTOA rule we have that

         tan \theta =  \frac{ r}{d}

=>     r =  d * tan \theta

substituting values  

        r =  2.7 * tan (49.76)

        r = 3.1905 \ m

Which statement accurately describes something that Yolanda can do as a part of her study?
Vikki [24]
Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. Below is Yoland's study:

<span>Yolanda is studying two waves. The first wave has an amplitude of 2 m, and the second has an amplitude of 3 m.
</span>
I think the answer is "She can use constructive interference to generate a wave with an amplitude of 1.5 m."

What phenomenon causes the fuzzy image? What kind of lens is used to correct this, and how is it corrected?
mamaluj [8]
In optics, chromatic aberration (abbreviated CA; also called chromatic distortion and spherochromatism) is an effect resulting from dispersion in which there is a failure of a lens to focus all colors to the same convergence point.[1] It occurs because lenses have different refractive indices for different wavelengths of light. The refractive index of transparent materials decreases with increasing wavelength in degrees unique to each.
