Answer:

d' = 75.1 cm

Explanation:

It is given that,

The actual depth of a shallow pool is, d = 1 m

We need to find the apparent depth of the water in the pool. Let it is equal to d'.

We know that the refractive index is also defined as the ratio of real depth to the apparent depth. Let the refractive index of water is 1.33. So,

n=\dfrac{d}{d'}\\\\d'=\dfrac{d}{n}\\\\d'=\dfrac{1\ m}{1.33}\\\\d'=0.751\ m

or

d' = 75.1 cm

So, the apparent depth is 75.1 cm.

A stretched string is observed to have four equal segments in a standing wave driven at a frequency of 480 hz. what driving freq
Korvikt [17]

600Hz is the driving frequency needed to create a standing wave with five equal segments.

To find the answer, we have to know about the fundamental frequency.

<h3>How to find the driving frequency?</h3>
  • The following expression can be used to relate the fundamental frequency to the driving frequency;

                                        f(n) = n * f (1)

where, f(1) denotes the fundamental frequency and the driving frequency f(n).

  • The standing wave has four equal segments, hence with n=4 and f(n)=4, we may calculate the fundamental frequency.

                                          f(4) = 4× f (1)

                                          480 = 4× f(1)

                                         f(1) = 480/4 =120Hz.

So, 120Hz is the fundamental frequency.

  • To determine the driving frequency necessary to create a standing wave with five equally spaced peaks?
  • For, n = 5,

                      f(n) = n 120Hz,

                      f(5) = 5×120Hz=600Hz.

Consequently, 600Hz is the driving frequency needed to create a standing wave with five equal segments.

An astronaut is standing on the surface of a planetary satellite that has a radius of 1.74 × 10^6 m and a mass of 7.35 × 10^22 k
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

2.87 km/s

Explanation:

radius of planet, R = 1.74 x 10^6 m

Mass of planet, M = 7.35 x 10^22 kg

height, h = 2.55 x 10^6 m

G = 6.67 x 106-11 Nm^2/kg^2

Use teh formula for acceleration due to gravity

g=\frac{GM}{R^{2}}

g=\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 7.35\times 10^{22}}{1.74^{2}\times 10^{12}}

g = 1.62 m/s^2

initial velocity, u = ?, h = 2.55 x 10^6 m , final velocity, v = 0

Use third equation of motion

v^{2}=u^{2}-2gh

0 = v² - 2 x 1.62 x 2.55 x 10^6

v² = 8262000

v = 2874.37 m/s

v = 2.87 km/s

Thus, the initial speed should be 2.87 km/s.

18 points! Brainliest! Physics!
Naddik [55]
You will use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve it.
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
c^2 = (1.5)^2 + (2)^2
c^2 = 6.25
c = square root of 6.25
c = 2.5
I hope this helps!

If a bullet travels at 593.0 m/s, what is its speed in miles per hour?
Ksenya-84 [330]

We have 1 \; mile = 1609.34\; meters. So, 1 \; meter = \frac{1}{1609.34} \;mile.

1 \; hour = 3600 \; s. So 1 \; s = \frac{1}{3600}  \; hour.

Thus we can convert the units of the given quantity.

That is,

593\;m/s=593\;\frac{1/1609.34}{1/3600} \;miles/hour\\&#10;593\;m/s=1,326.51\;miles/hour.

The quantity is converted to the required units.

A cross-country skier slides horizontally along the snow and comes to rest after sliding a distance of 11 m. If the coefficient
Basile [38]

Answer:

v_o = 4.54 m/s  

Explanation:

<u>Knowns  </u>

From equation, the work done on an object by a constant force F is given by:  

W = (F cos Ф)S                                   (1)  

Where S is the displacement and Ф is the angle between the force and the displacement.  

From equation, the kinetic energy of an object of mass m moving with velocity v is given by:  

K.E=1/2m*v^2                                       (2)

From The work- energy theorem , the net work done W on an object equals the difference between the initial and the find kinetic energy of that object:  

W = K.E_f-K.E_o                                 (3)

<u>Given </u>

The displacement that the sled undergoes before coming to rest is s = 11.0 m and the coefficient of the kinetic friction between the sled and the snow is μ_k = 0.020  

<u>Calculations</u>

We know that the kinetic friction force is given by:

f_k=μ_k*N

And we can get the normal force N by applying Newton's second law to the sled along the vertical direction, where there is no acceleration along this direction, so we get:  

∑F_y=N-mg

     N=mg

Thus, the kinetic friction force is:  

f_k = μ_k*N  

Since the friction force is always acting in the opposite direction to the motion, the angle between the force and the displacement is Ф = 180°.  

Now, we substitute f_k and Ф into equation (1), so we get the work done by the friction force:  

W_f=(f_k*cos(180) s

      =-μ_k*mg*s

Since the sled eventually comes to rest, K.E_f= 0 So, from equation (3), the net work done on the sled is:  

W= -K.E_o    

Since the kinetic friction force is the only force acting on the sled, so the net work on the sled is that of the kinetic friction force  

W_f= -K.E_o  

From equation (2), the work done by the friction force in terms of the initial speed is:  

W_f=-1/2m*v^2  

Now, we substitute for W_f= -μ_k*mg*s, and solving for v_o so we get:  

-μ_k*mg*s = -1/2m*v^2  

v_o = √ 2μ_kg*s

Finally, we plug our values for s and μ_k, so we get:  

v_o = √2 x (0.020) x (9.8 m/s^2) x (11.0 m) = 4.54 m/s  

v_o = 4.54 m/s
