Answer:

Here's the answer:

Explanation:

An average open-water certified diver using a standard aluminium 80-cubic-foot tank on a 40-foot dive will be able to stay down for about 45 to 60 minutes before surfacing with a safe reserve of air still in the tank.

Three Factors That Determine How Long a Diver's Air Will Last:

1. Tank Volume

2. Depth

3. Air Consumption Rate

A 15.0 cm object is 12.0 cm from a convex mirror that has a focal length of -6.0 cm. What is the height of the image produced by
alisha [4.7K]
<h2>Answer: 5 cm</h2>

In convex mirrors the focus is virtual and the focal distance is negative. This is how the reflected rays diverge and only their extensions are cut at a point on the main axis, resulting in a virtual image of the real object .

The Mirror equation is:  

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}    (1)  

Where:  

f=-6cm is the focal distance  

u=12cm is the distance between the object and the mirror  

v is the distance between the image and the mirror

We already know the values of f and u, let's find v from (1):  

v=\frac{u.f}{u-f}    (2)  

v=\frac{(12cm)(-6cm)}{12cm-(-6cm)}

v=-4cm   (3)

On the other hand, the magnification m of the image is given by the following equations:  

m=-\frac{v}{u}   (4)

m=\frac{h_{i}}{h_{o}}   (5)

Where:

h_{i} is the image height  

h_{o}=15cm is the object height

Now, if we want to find the image height, we firstlu have to find m from (4), substitute it on (5) and find h_{i}:

Substituting  (3) in (4):

m=-\frac{-4cm}{12cm}  

m=\frac{1}{3}    (6)

Substituting  (6) in (5):

\frac{1}{3}=\frac{h_{i}}{15cm}

h_{i}=\frac{15cm}{3}

Finally we obtain the value of the height of the image produced by the mirror:

h_{i}=5cm

A brave child decides to grab onto an already spinning merry‑go‑round. The child is initially at rest and has a mass of 25.5 kg.
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

72.75 kg m^2

Explanation:

initial angular velocity, ω = 35 rpm

final angular velocity, ω' =  19 rpm

mass of child, m = 15.5 kg

distance from the centre, d = 1.55 m

Let the moment of inertia of the merry go round is I.

Use the concept of conservation of angular momentum

I ω = I' ω'

where I' be the moment of inertia of merry go round and child

I x 35 = ( I + md^2) ω'

I x 35 = ( I + 25.5 x 1.55 x 1.55) x 19

35 I = 19 I + 1164

16 I = 1164

I = 72.75 kg m^2

Thus, the moment of inertia of the merry go round is 72.75 kg m^2.
