The tip of a triangle is held 12.0 cm above the surface of a flat pool of water. A submerged swimmer in the pool sees the tip of

the triangle at what distance above the water? Let the indices of refraction nwater = 1.33 and nair = 1.00.

Answer: 9cm

Explanation:

Refractive index can also be defined as the ratio of the real depth to the apparent depth.

Given that the

Real depth = 12 m

Refractive index of water = 1.33

Refractive index of air = 1.00

nair/nwater = real depth/apparent depth

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

1.33/1 = 12/ apparent depth

Cross multiply

1.33 Apparent depth = 12

Apparent depth = 12/1.33

Apparent depth = 9.02 cm

Therefore,  A submerged swimmer in the pool sees the tip of the triangle at 9cm approximately distance above the water.

a student attaches a 0.5 kg object to a 0.7 m string and rotates the object around her head and parallel to the ground. how much
Marina CMI [18]

The object would have a centripetal acceleration <em>a</em> of

<em>a</em> = (12 m/s)² / (0.7 m) ≈ 205.714 m/s²

so that the required tension in the string would be

<em>T</em> = (0.5 kg) <em>a</em> ≈ 102.857 N ≈ 100 N

(rounding to 1 significant digit)

I'm very confused. Thanks for whoever helps me :)

(C). Remember gravity provides an acceleration of 9.81m/s^2, so the y component of velocity initial is zero because it isn’t already falling, and we have the height, so basically we use the kinematic equation vf^2=vi^2+2ad, substitute given values and you get vf^2=2(9.81)(65) which is 1275, when you take the square root you get 35.7m/s for final velocity
(B). Then you use vf=vi+at to get the equation 35.7=(9.81)t, when you divide out you get 3.64s for time t
(A). Finally, since we assume that there is no acceleration or deceleration horizonatally, we just multiply the time taken for it to hit the ground and the initial speed ((3.64)(35.7)) to get 129.96, with significant figures I would round that to 130 metres.
