Answer:
13.6 cm
Explanation:
From Snell's law:
n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂
In the air, n₁ = 1, and light from the horizon forms a 90° angle with the vertical, so sin θ₁ = sin 90° = 1.
Given n₂ = 4/3:
1 = 4/3 sin θ
sin θ = 3/4
If x is the radius of the circle, then sin θ is:
sin θ = x / √(x² + 12²)
sin θ = x / √(x² + 144)
Substituting:
3/4 = x / √(x² + 144)
9/16 = x² / (x² + 144)
9/16 x² + 81 = x²
81 = 7/16 x²
x ≈ 13.6

your friend is pretty heavy XD
Answer:
The maximum mass that can fall on the mattress without exceeding the maximum compression distance is 16.6 kg
Explanation:
Hi there!
Due to conservation of energy, the potential energy (PE) of the mass at a height of 3.32 m will be transformed into elastic potential energy (EPE) when it falls on the mattress:
PE = EPE
m · g · h = 1/2 k · x²
Where:
m = mass.
g = acceleration due to gravity.
h = height.
k = spring constant.
x = compression distance
The maximum compression distance is 0.1289 m, then, the maximum elastic potential energy will be the following:
EPE =1/2 k · x²
EPE = 1/2 · 65144 N/m · (0.1289 m)² = 541.2 J
Then, using the equation of gravitational potential energy:
PE = m · g · h = 541.2 J
m = 541.2 J/ g · h
m = 541.2 kg · m²/s² / (9.8 m/s² · 3.32 m)
m = 16.6 kg
The maximum mass that can fall on the mattress without exceeding the maximum compression distance is 16.6 kg.
<u>Answer:</u>
<em>Thunderbird is 995.157 meters behind the Mercedes</em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
It is given that all the cars were moving at a speed of 71 m/s when the driver of Thunderbird decided to take a pit stop and slows down for 250 m. She spent 5 seconds in the pit stop.
Here final velocity 
initial velocity 
distance
Distance covered in the slowing down phase = 
The car is in the pit stop for 5s 
After restart it accelerates for 350 m to reach the earlier velocity 71 m/s
total time= 
Distance covered by the Mercedes Benz during this time is given by 
Distance covered by the Thunderbird during this time=
Difference between distance covered by the Mercedes and Thunderbird
= 
Thus the Mercedes is 995.157 m ahead of the Thunderbird.
Displacement is B) the shortest distance between the starting point and the ending point of a motion
Explanation:
Displacement is a vector quantity; it is a vector connecting the initial position to the final position of motion of an object.
Since it is a vector, it has both a magnitude and a direction:
- The magnitude of the displacement is the length of the vector, therefore it corresponds to the shortest distance in a straight line between the starting point and the ending point of the motion
- The direction goes from the starting point to the ending point
Therefore, the correct answer is
B) the shortest distance between the starting point and the ending point of a motion
Note that displacement is very different from distance. Consider for example an object moving in a circle, returning to its initial position: in this case, the distance covered by the object is not zero (it is the length of the circle), however the displacement is zero, because the initial position corresponds to the ending position.
