In the vertical jump, an athlete starts from crouch and jumps upward to reach as high as possible. Even the best athletes spend

little more than 1.00s in the air (thier "hang time"). Treat the athlete as a particle and let ymax be his maximum height above the floor. To explain why he seems to hang in the air, calculate the ratio of the time he is above ymax /2 to the time it takes him to go from the floor to that height. You may ignore air resistance.

The information on a can of soda indicates that the can contains 355 mL. The mass of a full can of soda is 0.369 kg, while an em
Vilka [71]

Answer:

\rho=995.50\ kg.m^{-3}

\bar w=9765.887\ N.m^{-3}

s=0.9955

Explanation:

Given:

  • volume of liquid content in the can, v_l=0.355\ L=3.55\times 10^{-4}\ L
  • mass of filled can, m_f=0.369\ kg
  • weight of empty can, w_c=0.153\ N

<u>So, mass of the empty can:</u>

m_c=\frac{w_c}{g}

m_c=\frac{0.153}{9.81}

m_c=0.015596\ kg

<u>Hence the mass of liquid(soda):</u>

m_l=m_f-m_c

m_l=0.369-0.015596

m_l=0.3534\ kg

<u>Therefore the density of liquid soda:</u>

\rho=\frac{m_l}{v_l} (as density is given as mass per unit volume of the substance)

\rho=\frac{0.3534}{3.55\times 10^{-4}}

\rho=995.50\ kg.m^{-3}

<u>Specific weight of the liquid soda:</u>

\bar w=\frac{m_l.g}{v_l}=\rho.g

\bar w=995.5\times 9.81

\bar w=9765.887\ N.m^{-3}

Specific gravity is the density of the substance to the density of water:

s=\frac{\rho}{\rho_w}

where:

\rho_w= density of water

s=\frac{995.5}{1000}

s=0.9955

You illuminate the grating in a spectrometer at normal incidence θi=0° with a beam of light that has a wavelength of 6562.8 Å. T
monitta

Answer:

a) θ₁ = 23.14 ° , b) θ₂ = 51.81 °

Explanation:

An address network is described by the expression

     d sin θ = m λ

Where is the distance between lines, λ is the wavelength and m is the order of the spectrum

The distance between one lines, we can find used a rule of proportions

     d = 1/600

     d = 1.67 10⁻³ mm

    d = 1-67 10⁻³ m

Let's calculate the angle

    sin θ = m λ / d

    θ  = sin⁻¹ (m λ / d)

First order

    θ₁ = sin⁻¹ (1 6.5628 10⁻⁷ / 1.67 10⁻⁶)

    θ₁ = sin⁻¹ (3.93 10⁻¹)

    θ₁ = 23.14 °

Second order

     θ₂ = sin⁻¹ (2 6.5628 10⁻⁷ / 1.67 10⁻⁶)

     θ₂ = sin⁻¹ (0.786)

     θ₂ = 51.81 °
