Answer:

8.06 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of a swimmer, m = 72 kg

He jumps from a diving board 3.25 m above the water.

We need to find the speed just as he hits the water if he jumps straight up. Using the conservation of energy to fin it as follows :

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\v=\sqrt{2gh}  \\\\v=\sqrt{2\times 10\times 3.25}\\\\ v=8.06\ m/s

So, the required speed is 8.06 m/s.

A stationary boat in the ocean is experiencing waves from a storm. The waves move at 59 km/h and have a wavelength of 145 m . Th
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

The time elapses until the boat is first at the trough of a wave is 4.46 seconds.

Explanation:

Speed of the wave, v = 59 km/h = 16.38 m/s

Wavelength of the wave, \lambda=145\ m

If f is the frequency of the wave. The frequency of a wave is given by :

v=f\lambda\\\\f=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}\\\\f=\dfrac{16.38\ m/s}{145\ m}\\\\f=0.112\ Hz

The time period of the wave is given by :

T=\dfrac{1}{f}\\\\T=\dfrac{1}{0.112\ Hz}\\\\T=8.92\ s

We need to find the time elapses until the boat is first at the trough of a wave. So, the time will be half of the time period of the wave.

T=\dfrac{8.92}{2}\\\\T=4.46\ s

Hence, this is the required solution.

Two disks of polaroid are aligned so that they polarize light in the same plane. Calculate the angle through which one sheet nee
Olegator [25]

Answer: The unpolarized light's intensity is reduced by the factor of two when it passes through the polaroid and becomes linearly polarized in the plane of the Polaroid. When the polarized light passes through the polaroid with the plane of polarization at an angle \theta with respect to the polarization plane of the incoming light, the light's intensity is reduced by the factor of \cos^2\theta (this is the Law of Malus).

Explanation: Let us say we have a beam of unpolarized light of intensity I_0 that passes through two parallel Polaroid discs with the angle of \theta between their planes of polarization. We are asked to find \theta such that the intensity of the outgoing beam is I_2. To solve this we follow the steps below:

Step 1. It is known that when the unpolarized light passes through a polaroid its intensity is reduced by the factor of two, meaning that the intensity of the beam passing through the first polaroid is

I_1=\frac{I_0}{2}.

This beam also becomes polarized in the plane of the first polaroid.

Step 2. Now the polarized beam hits the surface of the second polaroid whose polarization plane is at an angle \theta with respect to the plane of the polarization of the beam. After passing through the polaroid, the beam remains polarized but in the plane of the second polaroid and its intensity is reduced, according to the Law of Malus, by the factor of \cos^2\theta. This yields I_2=I_1\cos^2\theta. Substituting from the previous step we get

I_2=\frac{I_0}{2}\cos^2\theta

yielding

\frac{2I_2}{I_0}=\cos^2\theta

and finally,

\theta=\arccos\sqrt{\frac{2I_2}{I_0}}

How much force is required to move a sled 5 meters if a person uses 60 J of work?
Brut [27]
W=F*S

W - Work
F - Force
S - Distance (from latin word 'spatium)

so...
S= 5 (m)
W=60 (J)

W=F*S
F=W/S
F=60/5=12 J/m = 12 N (Newtons)
