An Olympic swimmer swims 50.0 meters in 23.1 seconds . What is his average speed

1 answer:

3 0

If you take 50 meters and divide by 23.1 seconds, you will get 2.16 meters per second.

So his average speed is 2.16 m/s.

A submarine is 2.99 ✕ 102 m horizontally from shore and 1.00 ✕ 102 m beneath the surface of the water. A laser beam is sent from

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

a The diagram of the situation is shown on the first uploaded image

b the angle of incidence beam striking the water is $\theta = 49.63^o$

c the angle of refraction beam striking the water is $r = 59.7^o$

d The angle the refracted beam make with respect to the horizontal is $= 30.3^o$

e The height of the target above sea level is

$h= 125.05m$

Explanation:

From the diagram we see that the angle of the beam striking the water is

$tan \theta = \frac{100}{85}$

$\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{100}{85} )$

$= 49.63^o$

According to Snell's law

$\mu_{water} *sin(i) = \mu_{air} *sin(r)$

Where $\mu_{water }$ is the refractive index of water = 1.333

$i$ is the angle of incidence

$\mu_{air}$ is the refractive index of air = 1

r is the angle of refraction

Substituting values accordingly

$1.33 * sin (40.37) = 1 * sin(r)$

Making r the subject of the formula

$r = sin^{-1}(\frac{1.333 *sin(40.37)}{1})$

$= 59.7^o$

looking at the diagram we can see that to obtain the angle the refraction beam makes with the horizontal by subtracting the angle refraction from 90°

i.e $90 -59.7 = 30.3$ °

From the diagram we see that the height target above sea level can be obtained by this relation

$tan \theta = \frac{h}{214}\\$

Where h is the is the height

$tan(30.3) = \frac{h}{214}$

$h = 214 * tan (30.3)$

$=125.05m$

Substances which naturally attract each other called what

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

Ferromagnetism, physical phenomenon in which certain electrically uncharged materials strongly attract others. Two materials found in nature, lodestone (or magnetite, an oxide of iron, Fe3O4) and iron, have the ability to acquire such attractive powers, and they are often called natural ferromagnets.

Hope this help :)

Describe a situation when you might travel at a high velocity bit with low acceleration

iren [92.7K]

I am sitting in my seat.
I am listening to my mp3 and reading my book.
My eyes are getting heavy. They start to close.
I try to stay awake, but it's no use.
I am so warm and comfortable and sleepy,
and I have just finished my dinner.
Finally I can't help it. Resistance is futile.
I give up, and fall deep asleep.
My head rests back against my soft, comfy seat.

My seat is in row 26 on the airplane I'm flying in
to visit my grandmother on the coast.
We are cruising at 560 miles an hour, bearing 280°,
at flight level 320 .
The temperature outside my window is -60°F .

A simple pendulum consists of a mass M attached to a string oflength L andnegligible mass. For this system, when undergoing smal

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

The frequency of the pendulum is independent of the mass on the end. (c)

This means that it doesn't matter if you hang a piece of spaghetti or a school bus from the bottom end. If there is no air resistance, and no friction at the top end, and the string has no mass, then the time it takes the pendulum to swing from one side to the other only depends on the length of the string.
