Answer:

When light enters from air to water i.e. it is moving from rarer to denser medium, it changes its original path as there is a change of speed of light and deflects itself towards the normal. This is known as the refraction of light and this is why a pencil in a cup of water looks as if it is broken and larger.

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

The question is wrong Since if you apply Force on 0.0m²It would mean That the pressure exerted=F/A=F/0

An since we can't divide a number by 0, the question is wrong

Firemen are shooting a stream of water at a burning building. A high-pressure hose shoots out the water with a speed of 26.0 m/s
alekssr [168]

Answer:

a) θ = 58.3º

b) vfh = 13.7 m/s

c) g = -9.8 m/s2

d) h = 22.2 m

e) vfb = 15.5 m/s

Explanation:

a)

  • Assuming that gravity is the only influence that causes an acceleration to the water, due to it is always downward, since both directions are independent each other, in the horizontal direction, the water moves at a constant speed.
  • Since the velocity vector has a magnitude of 26.0 m/s, we can find its horizontal component as follows:
  • vₓ₀ = v * cos θ (1)
  • where θ is the angle between the water and the horizontal axis (which we define as the x-axis, being positive to the right).
  • Applying the definition of average velocity, taking the end of the hose like the origin, and making t₀ = 0, we can write the following expression:

        x_{f} = v_{ox} * t = v_{o} * cos \theta * t  (2)

  • Replacing by the givens of xf = 41.0m, t = 3.00 s, and v=26.0 m/s, we can solve for the angle of elevation θ, as follows:

        cos \theta = \frac{x_{f} }{v*t} = \frac{41.0m}{26.0m/s*3.00s} = 0.526 (3)

  • ⇒θ = cos⁻¹ (0.526) = 58.3º (4)

b)

  • At the highest point in its trajectory, just before starting to fall, the vertical component of the velocity is just zero.
  • Since the horizontal component keeps constant during all the journey, we can conclude that the speed at this point is just v₀ₓ, that we can find easily from (1) replacing by the values of v and cos θ, as follows:
  • vₓ₀ = v * cos θ = 26.0 m/s * 0.526 = 13.7 m/s. (5)

c)

  • At any point in the trajectory, the only acceleration present is due to the action of gravity, which accepted value is -9.8 m/s2 (taking the upward direction on the vertical y-axis as positive)

d)

  • Since we know the time when the water strikes the building, it will be the same for the vertical movement, so, we can use the kinematic equation for vertical displacement, as follows:

       \Delta y = v_{oy} * t - \frac{1}{2} *g*t^{2} (6)

  • Our only unknown remains v₀y, which can be obtained in the same way than the horizontal component:
  • v₀y = v * sin θ = 26.0 m/s * 0.85 = 22.1 m/s (7)
  • Replacing (7) in (6), we get:

       \Delta y = 22.1 m/s* 3.0s - \frac{1}{2} *9.8m/s2*(3.00s)^{2} = 22.2 m (8)

e)

  • When the water hits the building the velocity vector, has two components, the horizontal vₓ and the vertical vy.
  • The horizontal component, since it keeps constant, is just v₀x:
  • v₀ₓ = 13.7 m/s
  • The vertical component can be found applying the definition of acceleration (g in this case), solving for the final velocity, as follows:

       v_{fy} = v_{oy} - g*t  (9)

  • Replacing by the time t (a given), g, and  v₀y from (7), we can solve (9) as follows:

       v_{fy} = 22.1 m/s - 9.8m/s2*3.00s = -7.3 m/s  (10)

  • Since we know the values of both components (perpendicular each other), we can find the magnitude of the velocity vector (the speed, i.e. how fast is it moving), applying the Pythagorean Theorem to v₀ₓ and v₀y, as follows:

       v_{f} = \sqrt{(13.7m/s)^{2} +(-7.3m/s)^{2}} = 15.5 m/s (11)

A small economy car (low mass) and a limousine (high mass) are pushed from rest across a parking lot, equal distances with equal
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

The car that receives more kinetic energy is the small economy car.

Explanation:

K.E = 0.5*mv²

Where;

K.E is the kinetic Energy

M is the mass of an object

V is the velocity of the moving object

But F = m(v/t), from Newton's second law of motion

If equal forces were applied to the two cars, then the velocity of each car will be calculated as follows.

v = (Ft/m)

v² = (Ft/m)²

Substitute in the value of v² into Kinetic energy equation

K.E = 0.5*mv²

K.E = 0.5*m(Ft/m)² = (0.5*F²t²)/m

Also assuming equal distance, equal force and assuming equal time for both cars.

The above equation will reduce to, K.E = k/m

Where k = 0.5*F²t², which is equal in both cars.

Thus, Kinetic energy will depend only on the mass of each car.

From the above expression, Kinetic Energy received by each car is inversely proportional to the mass of the car.

A small economy car (low mass)  will receive more kinetic energy while a limousine (high mass) car will receive less kinetic energy.

Therefore, the car that receives more kinetic energy is the small economy car.

If the force of a golf club on a golf ball is 200 N forward, what will the force of the ball on the club be? A. 200 N forward B.
Korolek [52]

The ball should put 200 N of force towards the golfer.

Newton's Third Law is every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

It's the ball exerting 200 N of force towards the club as well, but the opposite reaction is that it flies away.
