The second one is best. Gravity is an attractive force that acts between all objects, whether they're in contact or not.

Answer:

11.56066 m/s

Explanation:

m = Mass of person

v = Velocity of person = 13.4 m/s

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

v' = Velocity of the person in the second

The kinetic and potential energy will balance each other at the surface

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{13.4^2}{2\times 9.81}\\\Rightarrow h=9.15188\ m$

Height of the cliff is 9.15188 m

Let height of the fall be h' = 2.34 m

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv'^2+mgh'=mgh\\\Rightarrow v'=\sqrt{2g(h-h')}\\\Rightarrow v'=\sqrt{2\times 9.81(9.15188-2.34)}\\\Rightarrow v'=11.56066\ m/s$

The speed of the person is 11.56066 m/s

The rhinestones in costume jewelry are glass with index of refraction 1.50. To make them more reflective, they are often coated

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to the given question, the computation of minimum coating thickness is shown below:-

The condition for constructive interference is

$2t_{min} = (m + \frac{1}{2} )\times \frac{\lambda}{^nmateral}$

$= (0 + \frac{1}{2} )\times \frac{\lambda}{^nmateral}$

$t = \frac{\lambda}{4n}$

Now we will put the values to the above formula to reach the answer

$= \frac{480nm}{4\times 2.0}$

= 60

Therefore we simply applied the above formula to determine the minimum coating thickness

A football is place kicked with a velocity having a vertical component of 12 m/s and a horizontal component of 6 m/s. Find the r

SSSSS [86.1K]

The velocity is given by:

V = √(Vx²+Vy²)

V = velocity, Vx = horizontal velocity, Vy = vertical velocity

Given values:

Vx = 6m/s, Vy = 12m/s

Plug in and solve for V:

V = √(6²+12²)

V = 13.42m/s

Now find the direction:

θ = tan⁻¹(Vy/Vx)

θ = angle of velocity off horizontal, Vy = vertical velocity, Vx = horizontal velocity

Given values:

Vx = 6m/s, Vy = 12m/s

Plug in and solve for θ:

θ = tan⁻¹(12/6)

θ = 63.4°

The resultant velocity is 13.42m/s at an angle of 63.4° off the horizontal.
