if the pointy thingy in your compass is pointing north, that means it's being (pulled toward) something near Earth's north pole

a swimmer can swim in still water at a speed of 9.50 m/s. he intends to swim directly across the river that has a downstream cur
Doss [256]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

Still-water speed  = 9.5 m/s
River speed = 3.75 m/s down stream.

The velocity of the swimmer relative to the bank is the vector sum of his still-water speed and the speed of the river.

The velocity relative to the bank is
V = √(9.5² + 3.75²) = 10.21 m/s

The downstream angle is
θ = tan⁻¹ 3.75/9.5 = 21.5°

Answer:  10.2 m/s at 21.5° downstream.

At a department store, you adjust the mirrors in the dressing room so that they are parallel and 6.2 ft apart. You stand 1.8 ft
barxatty [35]

Answer:

<em>a) 3.6 ft</em>

<em>b) 12.4 ft</em>

Explanation:

Distance between mirrors = 6.2 ft

difference from from the mirror you face = 1.8 ft

a) you stand 1.8 ft in front of the mirror you face.

According to plane mirror rules, the image formed is the same distance inside the mirror surface as the distance of the object (you) from the mirror surface. From this,

your distance from your first "front" image = 1.8 ft + 1.8 ft = <em>3.6 ft</em>

b) The mirror behind you is 6.2 - 1.8 = 4.4 ft behind you.

the back mirror will be reflected 3.6 + 4.4 = 8 ft into the front mirror,

the first image of your back will be 4.4 ft into the back mirror,

therefore your distance from your first "back" image = 8 + 4.4 = <em>12.4 ft</em>

You are approaching a police car at 68. 1 mph and the police car is approaching you at 94. 8 mph. Assume that the speed of sound
Veronika [31]

We will hear the sound of siren of frequency 1553.4606 Hz.

<h3>What is Doppler Effect?</h3>

The apparent change in wave frequency brought on by the movement of a wave source is known as the Doppler effect. When the wave source is coming closer and when it is moving away, the perceived frequency changes. The Doppler effect explains why we hear a passing siren's sound changing in pitch.

according to Dopplers Effect,

f'=[\frac{v + v_{0} }{v - v_{s} } ]f

f'= [\frac{700+68.1}{700-94.8} ]* 1224

f'= 1553.4606 Hz

the frequency would be 1553.4606 Hz.

The Cassegrain design provides more compact (shorter) telescopes. Why? (Examine figures 2.4.2 and 2.4.3). The shorter design is
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Because the light reflects multiple times until it gets to the Cassegrain focus.

Explanation:

The Cassegrain design can be seen in a reflecting telescope. In this type of design the light is collected by a concave mirror, and then intercepted by a secondary convex mirror, and sends it down to a central opening in the primary mirror (concave mirror), in which a detector is placed (Cassegrain focus)

Since, the light is reflected many times due to Cassegrain design, that leads to shorter telescopes.
