James and John dive from an overhang into the lake below. James simply drops straight down from the edge. John takes a running s

tart and jumps with an initial horizontal velocity of 25 m/s. Compare the time it takes each to reach the lake below if there is no air resistance.

Answer:

Both of them reach the lake at the same time.

Explanation:

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5at²

Vertical motion of James : -

          Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

         Acceleration, a = g

         Displacement, s = h

    Substituting,

                  s = ut + 0.5 at²

                 h = 0 x t + 0.5 x g x t²

                 t_{James}=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}

Vertical motion of John : -

          Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

         Acceleration, a = g

         Displacement, s = h

    Substituting,

                  s = ut + 0.5 at²

                 h = 0 x t + 0.5 x g x t²

                 t_{John}=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}

So both times are same.

Both of them reach the lake at the same time.

Kay [80]
<span>Poet Kuangchi Chang did not remain in China long enough to be "re-educated." Following the Communist takeover he fled to the United States. His poem "Garden of My Childhood" describes China before the revolution as a peaceful, idyllic garden with a violent horde rapidly approaching. A vine, the wind, and the sea are each personified, and each beckons for him to run. It is not until "eons later," when he is "worlds away," that his "running is all done," and he finds himself at his destination: another garden, just like the one he had left behind.</span>

What has to be true about mass if a small object (like a metal ball) has a high density? A: The mass has to be high compared to
inysia [295]
<span>Since density is equal to mass divided by volume, we can determine the relationship between mass, density, and volume. Therefore, we can automatically know that the answer must either be A or B, since this information is determinable. The prompt lists the object as small. Therefore, we know that density is high, but volume is low. Let's examine the equation (D = M/V), where d = density, m = mass, and v = volume. In order for any number to be divided by a smaller number and have the end result be a higher number, the numerator (i.e. mass) must be bigger than the denominator (i.e. volume). We can also see that this is true by substituting in somewhat random numbers for d, m, and v. D = M / V 5 = 10 / 2 10 > 2 M > V In conclusion, your answer is D.</span>

For a plane mirror,how is the object s related to the distance s?
dlinn [17]
Light is a very complex phenomenon, but in many situations its behavior can be understood with a simple model based on rays and wave fronts. A ray is a thin beam of light that travels in a straight line. A wave front is the line (not necessarily straight) or surface connecting all the light that left a source at the same time. For a source like the Sun, rays radiate out in all directions; the wave fronts are spheres centered on the Sun. If the source is a long way away, the wave fronts can be treated as parallel lines.

Rays and wave fronts can generally be used to represent light when the light is interacting with objects that are much larger than the wavelength of light, which is about 500 nm. In particular, we'll use rays and wave fronts to analyze how light interacts with mirrors and lenses.
