A lead ball is dropped into a lake from a diving board 6.10 mm above the water. After entering the water, it sinks to the bottom

with a constant velocity equal to the velocity with which it hit the water. The ball reaches the bottom 4.50 ss after it is released. How deep is the lake?

Answer: d = 1.54m

The depth of the lake is 1.54m

Explanation:

The final velocity of the ball just before it hit the water can be derived using the equation below;

v^2 = u^2 + 2as ......1

Where ;

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the distance travelled.

Since the initial velocity is zero, and the acceleration is due to gravity, the equation becomes:

v^2 = 2gs

v = √2gs ......2

g = 9.8m/s^2

s = 6.10mm = 0.0061m

substituting into equation 2

v = √(2 × 9.8× 0.0061)

v = 0.346m/s

The time taken for the ball to hit water from the time of release can be given as:

d = ut + 0.5gt^2

Since u = 0

d = 0.5gt^2

Making t the subject of formula.

t = √(2d/g)

t = √( 2×0.0061/9.8)

t = 0.035s

The time taken for the ball to reach the bottom of the lake from the when it hits water is:

t2 = 4.5s - 0.035s = 4.465s

And since the ball falls for 4.465s to the bottom of the lake at the same velocity as v = 0.346m/s. The depth of the lake can be calculated as;

depth d = velocity × time = 0.346m/s × 4.465s

d = 1.54m

The depth of the lake is 1.54m

Answer:

D=1.54489 m

Explanation:

Given data

S=6.10 mm= 0.0061 m

To find

Depth of lake

Solution

To find the depth of lake first we need to find the initial time ball takes to hit the water.To get the value of time use below equation

S=v_{1}t+(1/2)gt^{2} \\ 0.0061m=(0m/s)t+(1/2)(9.8m/s^{2} )t^{2}\\ t^{2}=\frac{0.0061m}{4.9m/s^{2} }\\  t=\sqrt{1.245*10^{-3} }\\ t=0.035s

So ball takes 0.035sec to hit the water

As we have found time Now we need to find the final velocity of ball when it enters the lake.So final velocity is given as

v_{f}=v_{i}+gt\\v_{f}=0+(9.8m/s^{2} )(0.035s)\\ v_{f}=0.346m/s

Since there are (4.50-0.035) seconds left for (ball) it to reach the bottom of the lake

So the depth of lake given as:

D=|vt|\\D=|0.346m/s*4.465s|\\D=1.54489m

Consider a system to be two train cars traveling toward each other. What is the total momentum of the system before the train ca
Brut [27]

Let say the two train cars are of masses m_1 and m_2

now if the speed of two cars are v_1 and v_2

then we can say that the momentum of two cars before they collide is given by

P = m_1v_1 - m_2v_2

here two cars are moving in opposite direction so we can say that the net momentum is subtraction of two cars momentum.

Now since in these two car motion there is no external force on them while they collide

So the momentum of two cars are always conserved.

hence we can say that the final momentum of two cars will be same after collision as it is before collision

P = m_1v_1 - m_2v_2

Why football players boots have spikes their sole<br>Give short and sweet answer​
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

it helps with balance and speed.

"The football shoes have spikes or studs because the studs or spikes provides larger frictional force than normal shoes while running on the grass. The studs prevents player from slipping on the grass and help to run faster and change direction quickly without slipping"

A ray of light travels across a liquid-to-glass interface. if the indices of refraction for the liquid and glass are, respective
prisoha [69]
When it comes to optics, Snell's law is the basic formula to be used. If you notice, when light hits the water, the light does not travel in the same direction. After, it hits the water, it changes in angle. Light becomes refracted. This is observed when your hands tend to become bigger if you place it underwater. The formula for Snell's Law is

n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂sin θ₂, where n is the index of refraction. This depends on the type of medium. For example, for air, n=1. The parameters θ₁ is the angle of incidence, and θ₂ is the angle of refraction. Critical angle is the incident angle needed so that the refract angle is 90°. So, modifying the equation:

n₁ sin θcrit = n₂sin 90°, since sin 90°=1,
sin θcrit = n₂/n₁
θcrit = sin ⁻¹ (n₂/n₁)

Since liquid comes first before glass, n₁=1.75 and n₂=1.52. Substituting,
θcrit = sin ⁻¹ (1.52/1.75)
θcrit = 60.29°
