Answer: option d.

Explanation:

In this situation, we can suppose that the football player has a velocity of 2m/s in the positive x-axis, and the ball has a velocity of -5m/s in the x-axis.

If we step in the point of view of the football player, all the previous x-axis now moves with the same velocity that the player had, but in the other direction, so all the axis now moves with a velocity of -2m/s. And the ball that also is in the axis also gets this "boost" in velocity.

So now the velocity of the ball is -5m/s -2m/s = -7m/s where the minus sign is because of the situation that I crafted.

So the correct option is the option D

What is the reflectivity of a glass surface (n =1.5) in air (n = 1) at an 45° for (a) S-polarized light and (b) P-polarized ligh
Goshia [24]

Answer:

a) R_s = 0.092

b) R_p = 0.085

Explanation:

given,

n =1.5 for glass surface

n = 1 for air

incidence angle = 45°

using Fresnel equation of reflectivity of S and P polarized light

R_s=\left | \dfrac{n_1cos\theta_i-n_2cos\theta_t}{n_1cos\theta_i+n_2cos\theta_t} \right |^2\\R_p=\left | \dfrac{n_1cos\theta_t-n_2cos\theta_i}{n_1cos\theta_t+n_2cos\theta_i} \right |^2

using snell's law to calculate θ t

sin \theta_t = \dfrac{n_1sin\theta_i}{n_2}=\dfrac{sin45^0}{1.5}=\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{3}

cos \theta_t =\sqrt{1-sin^2\theta_t} = \dfrac{sqrt{7}}{3}

a) R_s=\left | \dfrac{\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}-\dfrac{1.5\sqrt{7}}{3}}{\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}+\dfrac{1.5\sqrt{7}}{3}} \right |^2

R_s = 0.092

b) R_p=\left | \dfrac{\dfrac{\sqrt{7}}{3}-\dfrac{1.5}{\sqrt{2}}}{\dfrac{\sqrt{7}}{3}+\dfrac{1.5}{\sqrt{2}}} \right |^2

R_p = 0.085

Phantasy [73]

Answer: force of gravity on the body due to height difference above the earth's surface

Explanation: as you increase the height of a body above ground, you do work against gravity in moving it from a point on the earth's surface to that point. So a body falling has a stored up gravito-potential energy which acts on it downward due to its mass, accelerating it downwards

Answer b): kinetic energy of the body

Explanation: the downward force produces an acceleration of magnitude 9.81m/s2 downwards which means an increasing velocity. This increasing velocity means the kinetic energy of the body is increasing (kinetic energy is proportional to velocity of the body squared)

If you push on the wall with a force of 400 N, what is the magnitude of the force at the wall exerts on you?
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

400 N

Explanation:

Due to action-Reaction, the wall pushes back on the person with a force of equal magnitude and in opposite direction to the force exerted by the person.

So the magnitude must be also 400 N.
