puteri [66]
 <span>This pivot is called refraction. It happens because different materials have different densities. The more dense the material the more atoms the light collides with and the slower it travels; the less dense, the fewer the collisions and hence a faster velocity. This pivoting, or refraction, is caused by the light either slowing down or speeding up.</span>

A bungee cord is 30m long and when stretched a distance x itexerts a restoring force of magnitude kx. Your father-in-law (mass95
madam [21]

Answer:

The distance the bungee cord that would be stretched 0.602 m, should be selected when pulled by a force of 380 N.

Explanation:

As from the given data

the length of the rope is given as l=30 m

the stretched length is given as l'=41m

the stretched length required is give as  y=l'-l=41-30=11m

the mass is m=95 kg

the  force is  F=380 N

the gravitational acceleration is g=9.8 m/s2

The equation of  k is given by equating the energy at the equilibrium point which is given as

U_{potential}=U_{elastic}\\mgh=\dfrac{1}{2} k y^2\\k=\dfrac{2mgh}{y^2}

Here

m=95 kg, g=9.8 m/s2, h=41 m, y=11 m so

k=\dfrac{2mgh}{y^2}\\k=\dfrac{2\times 95\times 9.8\times 41}{11^2}\\k=630.92 N/m

Now the force is

F=kx\\ or

x=\dfrac{F}{k}\\

So here F=380 N, k=630.92 N/m

x=\dfrac{F}{k}\\x=\dfrac{380}{630.92}\\x=0.602 m

So the distance is 0.602 m

If riding a lawnmower engine exerts 19 hp in one minute to move the lawnmower how much work is done
ioda

Answer:

the work done by the lawnmower is 236.14 J.

Explanation:

Given;

power exerted by the lawnmower engine, P = 19 hp

time in which the power was exerted, t = 1 minute = 60 s.

1 hp = 745.7 watts

The work done by the lawnmower is calculated as follows;

Work = Energy = \frac{Power}{time} \\\\Work = \frac{(19 \times 745.7)}{60} = 236.14 \ J

Therefore, the work done by the lawnmower is 236.14 J.

777dan777 [17]
<span>Every 10s 5 waves; t1 = 2s for each wave
 When v = 1.5m/s, 3 waves in 10s t2 = 10 / 3s
  Calculating the frequency in first case f1 = 5 / 10 = 0.5
 Calculating the frequency in second case f2 = 3 / 10 = 0.3
 Using the Doppler formula f = (1-v/c) f0
  For the formula f = f2, v = velocity of boat= 1.5 m/s, f0 = f1, c is velocity of wave 0.3 = 0.5 x (1 - 1.5/c) => 1.5/c = 1 - 0.6 => 1.5/c = 0.4 => c = 1.5/0.4 Velocity of the wave = 3.75 m/s</span>

Person is lifting a 250 N dumbbell. The weight is 30 cm from the pivot point of the elbow. What force must be exerted five from
qwelly [4]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

The force, F, is applied at 5 cm from the elbow.

For dynamic equilibrium, the sum of moments about the elbow is zero.
Take moments about the elbow.
(5 cm)*(F N) - (30 cm)*(250 N) = 0
F = (30*250)/5 = 1500 N

Answer: 1500 N
