Answer:

Since there are hundreds of nails, instead of puncturing your skin the nails actually support you.

Explanation:

If you step on the point of a nail, your foot exerts a tremendous amount of pressure on the nail's tiny point. As a result, the point can go straight through your foot. But a bed of nails has lots of points that are close together -- there's a lot of surface area for the body to cover. Hundreds of nails support the weight of your body instead of just one. Typically, your body doesn't exert enough pressure on any one nail for it to break the skin. You can even place a second bed on top of you and break a cinderblock on it. The resulting force is distributed over all of the nails, so you shouldn't be injured.

Linearly polarized light whose Jones vector is [0 1] (horizontally polarized) is sent through a train of two linear polarizers.

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

Following are the solution to the given question:

Explanation:

The input linear polarisation was shown at an angle of $2 \mu$ . It's a very popular use of a half-wave plate. In particular, consider the case $\mu = 45 \pm$ , at which the angle of rotation is $90\pm$ . HWP thereby provides a great way to turn, for instance, a linear polarised light that swings horizontally to polarise vertically. Illustration of action on event circularly polarized light of the half-wave platform. Customarily it is the slow axis of HWP that corresponds to either the rotation. Note that perhaps the vector of polarization is "double-headed," i.e., the electromagnetic current swinging back and forward in time. Therefore the turning angle could be referred to as the rapid axis to reach the same result. Please find the attached file.

Consider a boat heading due east at 15 miles/hour. The water's current is moving at 7.1 miles/hour at 45º south of east. Drag ve

givi [52]

If a boat is going East at 15mph and there is a water current going southeast at 45° then the boat is being drifted southward. So since the current is going at an angle then it has a x and y component. So Rx refers to the x-component force of the current and Ry refers to the y-component of the current, and |R| refers to the magnitude of these forces.

The amplitude of a simple harmonic oscillator will be doubled by:a) doubling only the initial speedb) doubling the initial displ

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

When both initial speed and initial displacement is doubled then amplitude will be doubled.

Explanation:

Given that :- Amplitude of simple harmonic Oscillator is doubled.

So,

Formula of Simple harmonic oscillator is $X=A\sin\ (2\pi ft +\phi)$ ...........(1)

Where X = Position in (m,cm,km.....)

A = Amplitude in (m,cm,km.....)

F = Frequency in (Hz)

T = Time in (sec.)

Ф = Phase in (rad)

For initial displacement taking t=0 we get,

Initial displacement = $A\sin(\phi)$ .................(2)

Now taking equation (1) and differentiating it w.r.t to (t) we get

$\frac{dx}{dt} = 2\pi fA\cos\ (2\pi ft+\phi)$

$V= 2\pi fA\cos\ (2\pi ft+\phi)$

taking t=0 for initial speed then we get,

Initial speed = $2\pi fA\cos\phi$ ...............(3)

observing equation (2) & (3) that the initial displacement and initial speed depends on the Amplitude of the Oscillator.

Hence,

when both initial speed and displacement is doubled then amplitude will be doubled.

An ambulance is traveling north at 55.9 m/s, approaching a car that is also traveling north at 28.4 m/s. The ambulance driver he

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

915 Hz

Explanation:

The observed frequency from a sound source is given as

f₀ = f [(v + v₀)/(v+vₛ)]

where

f₀ = observed frequency of the sound by the observer = ?

f = actual frequency of the sound wave = 983 Hz

v = actual velocity of the sound waves = 343 m/s

vₛ = velocity of the source of the sound waves = 55.9 m/s

v₀ = velocity of the observer = 28.4 m/s

f₀ = 983 [(343+28.4)/(343+55.9)]

f₀ = 915.2 Hz = 915 Hz
