rom 62.5 mph on dry pavement, stops in 150 ft.

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

While breaking initial velocity u = 62.5 mph

= 62.5 x 1760 x 3 / (60 x 60 )  ft /s

= 91.66 ft / s

distance trvelled s = 150 ft

v² = u² - 2as

0 = 91.66²  - 2 a x 150

a = - 28 ft / s²

b ) While accelerating initial velocity u = 0

distance travelled s = .24 mi

time = 19.3 s

s = ut + 1/2 at²

s is distance travelled in time t with acceleration a ,

.24 = 0 + 1/2 a x 19.3²

a = .001288 mi/s²

= 2.06 m /s²

c )

If distance travelled s = .25 mi

final velocity v = ? a = .001288 mi / s²

v² = u² + 2as

= 0 + 2 x .001288 x .25

= .000644

v = .025 mi / s

= .0025 x 60 x 60 mi / h

= 91.35 mph .

d ) initial velocity u = 59 mph

= 86.53 ft / s

final velocity = 0

acceleration = - 28 ft /s²

v = u - at

0 = 86.53 - 28 t

t = 3 sec approx .

A thin double convex glass lens with an index of 1.56 while surrounded by air has a 10 cm focal length. If it is placed under wa
bearhunter [10]

Explanation:

Formula which holds true for a leans with radii R_{1} and R_{2} and index refraction n is given as follows.

          \frac{1}{f} = (n - 1) [\frac{1}{R_{1}} - \frac{1}{R_{2}}]

Since, the lens is immersed in liquid with index of refraction n_{1}. Therefore, focal length obeys the following.  

            \frac{1}{f_{1}} = \frac{n - n_{1}}{n_{1}} [\frac{1}{R_{1}} - \frac{1}{R_{2}}]  

             \frac{1}{f(n - 1)} = [\frac{1}{R_{1}} - \frac{1}{R_{2}}]

and,       \frac{n_{1}}{f(n - n_{1})} = \frac{1}{R_{1}} - \frac{1}{R_{2}}

or,          f_{1} = \frac{fn_{1}(n - 1)}{(n - n_{1})}

              f_{w} = \frac{10 \times 1.33 \times (1.56 - 1)}{(1.56 - 1.33)}

                          = 32.4 cm

Using thin lens equation, we will find the focal length as follows.

             \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{s_{o}} + \frac{1}{s_{i}}

Hence, image distance can be calculated as follows.

       \frac{1}{s_{i}} = \frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{s_{o}} = \frac{s_{o} - f}{fs_{o}}

              s_{i} = \frac{fs_{o}}{s_{o} - f}

             s_{i} = \frac{32.4 \times 100}{100 - 32.4}

                       = 47.9 cm

Therefore, we can conclude that the focal length of the lens in water is 47.9 cm.

When light propagates through two adjacent materials that have different optical properties, some interesting phenomena occur at
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

First, the different indices of refraction must be taken into account (in different media): for example, the refractive index of light in a vacuum is 1 (since vacuum = c).  The value of the refractive index of the medium is a measure of its "optical density":  Light spreads at maximum speed in a vacuum but slower in others  transparent media; therefore in all of them n> 1. Examples of typical values ​​of  are those of air (1,0003), water (1.33), glass (1.46 - 1.66) or diamond (2.42).

The refractive index has a maximum value and a minimum value, which we can calculate the minimum value by means of the following explanation:

The limit or minimum angle, α lim, is defined as the angle of refraction from which  the refracted ray disappears and all the light is reflected. As in the maximum value of  angle of refraction, from which everything is reflected, is βmax = 90º, we can  know the limit angle (the minimum angle that we would have to have to know the minimum index of refraction) by Snell's law:

 βmax = 90º ⇒ n 1x sin α (lim) = n 2 ⇒ sin α lim = n 2 / n 1

Explanation:

When a light ray strikes the separation surface between two media  different, the incident beam is divided into three: the most intense penetrates the second  half forming the refracted ray, another is reflected on the surface and the third is  breaks down into numerous weak beams emerging from the point of incidence in  all directions, forming a set of stray light beams.

Which are uses for clay?
Nesterboy [21]

Answer: Uses of clay are as follows.

  • Ceramics
  • Tile
  • Pottery
  • China dishes

Explanation:

Clay is a type of soil whose sediment consists of particles smaller than slit, that is, around 0.004 mm. This means that particles of a clay are very small.

A clay is soft and can be molded to different shapes easily.

Some uses of clay are as follows.

  • It is used to make ceramics.
  • It is used to make pottery like clay pot to store water in summers.
  • It is also used to make tile and china dishes.

A bullet of 10g strikes a sand bag at a speed of 100 m/s and gets embedded after travelling
Tasya [4]

Answer:

Solving for time :

(There are 4 formulas from linear motion. These formulas are very helpful as it allows us to prevent complicated calculations. Choose among the four that has : 1. The most constants known

2. The unknown constant that we want to solve)

s = (1/2)(u+v)t <--- one of the formulas

from linear motion

s (distance) = 0.05m

u (initial velocity) = 100m/s

v (final velocity) = 0 m/s (it stops)

t (time taken for change in velocity) = to be found

0.05 = (1/2)(100+0)t

t = 0.001 seconds

Solving for the resistant force :

Since the bullet hits the bag with an impulsive force and stops, the force that stops the bullet is the resistant force.

When the bullet stops :

F net = 0

F r = F imp

F r = (mu -mv)/t

F r = (0.01x100-0.01x0)/0.001

F r = 1/0.001

F r = 1000N

What is the difference between kinetic and potential energy and how do they work?
Iteru [2.4K]

To explain, I will use the equations for kinetic and potential energy:

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

<h3>Potential energy </h3>

Potential energy is the potential an object has to move due to gravity.  An object can only have potential energy if 1) <u>gravity is present</u> and 2) <u>it is above the ground at height h</u>.  If gravity = 0 or height = 0, there is no potential energy.  Example:

An object of 5 kg is sitting on a table 5 meters above the ground on earth (g = 9.8 m/s^2).  What is the object's gravitational potential energy?  <u>(answer: 5*5*9.8 = 245 J</u>)

(gravitational potential energy is potential energy)

<h3>Kinetic energy</h3>

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object has while in motion.  An object can only have kinetic energy if the object has a non-zero velocity (it is moving and not stationary).  An example:

An object of 5 kg is moving at 5 m/s.  What is the object's kinetic energy?  (<u>answer: 5*5 = 25 J</u>)

<h3>Kinetic and Potential Energy</h3>

Sometimes, an object can have both kinetic and potential energy.  If an object is moving (kinetic energy) and is above the ground (potential), it will have both.  To find the total (mechanical) energy, you can add the kinetic and potential energies together.  An example:

An object of 5 kg is moving on a 5 meter table at 10 m/s.  What is the objects mechanical (total) energy?  (<u>answer: KE = .5(5)(10^2) = 250 J; PE = (5)(9.8)(5) = 245 J; total: 245 + 250 = 495 J</u>)
