A bungee jumper of mass m = 65 kg jumps from a bridge.

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply energy conservation.

By definition we know that kinetic energy is equal to potential energy, therefore

PE = KE

mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

Where,

m = mass

g = gravitaty constat

v = velocity

h = height

Re-arrange to find h,

h=\frac{v^2}{2g}

Replacing with our values

h=\frac{26^2}{2*9.8}

h = 34.498\approx 34.5m

Therefore the correct answer is C.

The speed of a nerve impulse in the human body is about 100 m/s. If you accidentally stub you toe in the dark, estimate the time
vodomira [7]

Answer:

0.02 s

Explanation:

Take the (+x) direction to be up.  

The average velocity v during a time interval Δt is the displacement Δx divided by Δt.  

v=Δx/Δt

 =x_f-x_i/t_f-t_i                 (1)

We assume that your height is 1.6m  

Solving [1]

Δt=Δx/v

  = 0.02 s

Why is it important to study electromagnetic waves?
labwork [276]
The study of EM is essential to understanding the properties of light, its propagation through tissue, scattering and absorption effects, and changes in the state of polarization. ... Since light travels much faster than sound, detection of the reflected EM radiation is performed with interferometry.

Linearly polarized light whose Jones vector is [0 1] (horizontally polarized) is sent through a train of two linear polarizers.
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

Following are the solution to the given question:

Explanation:

The input linear polarisation was shown at an angle of 2 \mu. It's a very popular use of a half-wave plate. In particular, consider the case \mu = 45 \pm, at which the angle of rotation is 90\pm. HWP thereby provides a great way to turn, for instance, a linear polarised light that swings horizontally to polarise vertically. Illustration of action on event circularly polarized light of the half-wave platform. Customarily it is the slow axis of HWP that corresponds to either the rotation. Note that perhaps the vector of polarization is "double-headed," i.e., the electromagnetic current swinging back and forward in time. Therefore the turning angle could be referred to as the rapid axis to reach the same result. Please find the attached file.
