Suppose you have thrown a rock nearly straight up at a coconut in a palm tree,and the rock misses on the way up but hits the coc

onut on the way down.Neglecting air resistance,how does the speed of the rock when it hits the coconut on the way down compare with what it would have been if it hits the coconut on the way up?Is is more likely to dislodge the coconut on the way up or down? Explain.

Most likely it would dislodge the coconut on the way down due to gravity because on the way up the gravity would slow down the rock but on they down the gravity pulls the rock

A parallel beam of light containing orange (610 nm) and violet (410 nm) wavelengths goes from fused quartz to water, striking th
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

0.98°

Explanation:

First we find the refracting angle of orange in water

Which is given as

စr= sin^-1. ( 1.456 sin60°/1.33)

= 71.2°

Then that of violet in water

စv=sin^-1. ( 1.468sin60°/1.342)

= 72.3°

So angle between boths colours is the difference

71.2- 72.3= 0.98°

inn [45]

Answer:

74dB

Explanation:

Sound intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. Thus, a house four times closer hears a sound 16x more intense.

The dB scale is logarithmic, so 16x louder than 62 dB is equal to

62 + 10*log(16) ~= 62 + 12 = 74dB
