A frog is at the bottom of a 17-foot well. Each time the frog leaps, it moves up 3 feet. If the frog has not reached the top of

the well, then the frog slides back 1 foot before it is ready to make another leap. How many leaps will the frog need to escape the well?

Answer:

The frog takes 8 jumps to reach top of well

Explanation:

Given data

Frog at bottom=17 foot

Each time frog leaps 3 feet

Frog has not reached the top of the well, then the frog slides back 1 foot

To Find

Total number of leaps the frog needed to escape from well

Solution

in 1 jump distance jumped=3+(-1)

                                           =2 feet

                                           =2×1 feet

The "-1" is because the frog goes back

Now After 2 jumps the distance jumped as:

                     Distance Jumped=2+2

                     Distance Jumped=2*2

                                                   =4 feet

Similarly after 7 jumps

                    Distance Jumped=2+2+......+2

                    Distance Jumped=2*7

                                                 =14 feet

Now after 8th jump the frog climbs but doesnot slide back as it is reached to the top of well.

So

              Distance Jumped=(Distance Jumped after 7 jumps)+3

                                           =14+3

                                           =17 feet

The frog takes 8 jumps to reach top of well

Mike stands on a scale in an elevator. If the elevator is accelerating upwards with 4.9 m/s2, the scale reading is ____ times Mi
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

F - M a      force exerted by scales on student

M a = M (9.8 + 4.9) m/s^2      upwards chosen as positive

a = 1.5 g        net acceleration of student  due to force of scales

W =M g       weight of student   (actual weight)

The universe was 5 percent its current size when light left objects observed now at redshift of ______________
Nuetrik [128]

The redshift of distant galaxy are larger than those of closer galaxies, which indicates that the galaxy is receding at a faster rate.

  • The Universe was 5 percent its current size when light left objects now at redshift of <u>19</u>.

Reasons:

The size of the universe represented as a scale factor with relation to the redshift can be presented as follows;

\displaystyle \frac{a}{a_0}  =\mathbf{ \frac{1}{1 + z}}

Where;

a₀ = The current size of the Universe

a = The size of the early Universe = 5% of a

Therefore;

\displaystyle \frac{a}{a_0}  =5\% = 0.05=  \frac{1}{1 + z}

\displaystyle 0.05  = \frac{1}{1 + z}

0.05 + 0.05·z = 1

\displaystyle z = \mathbf{ \frac{1 - 0.05}{0.05} } = 19

  • The redshift is of the observed light is, z = <u>19</u>

Why is streak generally a more useful property than color in identifying a mineral?

You may confuse two minerals by their colors so using streak is another way for showing their "true colors "

Give reason for the following:
Zigmanuir [339]

a) An inflated balloon was pressed against a wall after it has been rubbed with a piece of synthetic cloth. It was found that the balloon sticks to the wall. <u>This is because a positive and negative electric charge is produced, therefore the balloon sticks to the wall.</u>

b) When an object is thrown up, it comes back to ground <u>because of gravitational attraction force of earth</u>.

c) Mountaineers suffer nose bleeding at higher altitudes <u>because the oxygen level decreases with increase in altitude, which the body cannot adjust.</u>

d) Foundations of high rise buildings are kept wide <u>because more is the area of contact, less is the pressure efforts. So, foundations are wide so as to decrease the possibility of the building from falling down.</u>

e) Deep sea divers or high altitude fliers wear special suits <u>so as prevent their body from being crushed by the water pressure. Since water pressure is maximum at deep seas and oceans, therefore, more is the risk of being injured.</u>

f) Walls of a dam are thickened near the base <u>so that the dam can handle the kinetic energy pressure and prevent itself from breaking down, which if not, can lead to flooding</u>.
