You are part of a searchand- rescue mission that has been called out to look for a lost explorer. You’ve found the missing explo

rer, but you're separated from him by a 200- m -high cliff and a 30- m -wide raging river. To save his life, you need to get a 5.6 kg package of emergency supplies across the river. Unfortunately, you can't throw the package hard enough to make it across. Fortunately, you happen to have a 0.70 kg rocket intended for launching flares. Improvising quickly, you attach a sharpened stick to the front of the rocket, so that it will impale itself into the package of supplies, then fire the rocket at ground level toward the supplies. What minimum speed must the rocket have just before impact in order to save the explorer’s life?

Answer:

v_r = 42.3 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that the width of the river is given as

w = 30 m

now the height is given as

h = 200 m

now by kinematics we have

h = \frac{1}{2}gt^2

200 = \frac{1}[2}(9.81)t^2

t = 6.38 s

now the speed required to cross the river is given as

v = \frac{w}{t}

v = \frac{30}{6.38}

v = 4.7 m/s

now we can use momentum conservation to find the speed of rocket just before collision

m_r v_r = (m_r + m) v

0.70(v_r) = (5.6 + 0.70)(4.7)

v_r = 42.3 m/s

The width of the central maxima, formed from light of wavelength 575 nm behind a single slit that has a width of 115 μm, is 1.15
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

 L  = 1.15 m

Explanation:

The diffraction phenomenon is described by the equation

        a sin θ = m λ

Where a is the width of the slit, λ  the wavelength and m is an integer, the order of diffraction is left.

The diffraction measurements are made on a screen that is far from the slit, and the angles in the experiment are very small, let's use trigonometry

          tan θ = y / L

          tan θ = sint θ / cos θ≈ sin θ

We substitute in the first equation

           a (y / L) = m λ

The first maximum occurs for m = 1

The distance is measured from the center point of maximum, which coincides with the center of the slit, in this case the distance is the total width of the central maximum, so the distance (y) measured from the center is

         y = 1.15 / 2 = 0.575 cm

         y = 0.575 10⁻² m

Let's clear the distance to the screen (L)

       L = a y / λ  

Let's calculate

     L = 115 10⁻⁶  0.575 10⁻² / 575 10⁻⁹

     L  = 1.15 m

2) Two ice skaters have masses m1 and m2 and are initially stationary. Their skates are identical. They push against one another
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

m_1 / m_2 = sqrt (1 / 2)

Explanation:

Given:

- Initial velocity of both skaters V_i = 0

- Velocity of skater 1 after push = V_1

- Velocity of skater  after push = V_2

- Distance traveled by skater 1 = s_1

- Distance traveled by skater 2 = s_2

- s_1 = 2*s_2

- Accelerations of both skaters to halt is equal

Find:

What is the ratio m1/m2 of their masses

Solution:

- Apply conservation of momentum for two skaters just before and after the push as follows:

                                              P_i = P_f

                                  0 = m_1*V_1 - m_2*V_2

- Evaluate:                 m_1 / m_2 = ( V_2 / V_1 )

- Apply Conservation of Energy on both skaters as follows:

- Skater 1:

                               0.5*m_1*V_1^2 = u_k*m_1*g*s_1

-Simplify:                      0.5*V_1^2 = u_k*g*(2*s_2)

- Skater 2:

                               0.5*m_2*V_2^2 = u_k*m_2*g*s_2

-Simplify:                      0.5*V_2^2 = u_k*g*s_2

- Divide the two energy equations for skaters:

                                    (V_1 / V_2)^2 = 2

                                    (V_2 / V_1)^2 = 1 / 2

- simplify:                     (V_2 / V_1) = sqrt (1 / 2)

-Hence from earlier momentum conservation results:

                                  m_1 / m_2 = ( V_2 / V_1 ) = sqrt (1 / 2)

What is the angular displacement of a minute hand of a clock after 3 minutes?​
Inessa [10]

Answer:

π/10 rads

Explanation:

It takes an hour (60 minutes) for the minute's hand to turn a full circle or achieve an angular rotation of

2πl rad.

Now, number of periods of 3 minutes in an hour is;

Number of periods = 60/3 = 20 periods

Thus, 3 minutes rotation accounts for 1/20 of 2π the rotation of the minute's hand in an hour.

Thus;

Angular displacement = (1/20) * 2π = π/10 rads
