Answer:

Suppose you have a glass slab as a paper weight, if you keep it on the paper, dont you see something strange? The paper becomes elevated in the glase slab. Everyone sees a waterbottle or glass everyday, while seeing through it, does everything seem normal? Nope. That's refraction.

Explanation:

You must have seen a prism, right? It makes light split into the visible electromagnetic spectrum.

What would be the speed of an object just before hitting the ground if dropped 91.5 meters

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

about 42.35 m/s

Explanation:

Use the equation for accelerated motion (g), and with zero initial velocity that doesn't include time:

$v_f^2=v_i^2+2\,a\,\Delta x$

which for our case would reduce to:

$v_f^2=v_i^2+2\,a\,\Delta x\\v_f^2=0+2\,9.8\,(91.5)\\v_f^2= 1793.4\\v_f=\sqrt{1793.4} \\v_f \approx 42.35$

then the velocity just before hitting would be about 42.35 m/s

Two children hang by their hands from the same tree branch. The branch is straight, and grows out from the tree trunk at an angl

vazorg [7]

Answer:879.29 N-m

Explanation:

Given

mass of first child $m_1=44 kg$

distance of first child from tree is $r_1=1 m$

tree is inclined at an angle of $\theta =27^{\circ}$

mass of second child $m_1=27 kg$

distance of second child from tree is $r_2=2.1 m$

Weight of first child $=m_1g=431.2 kg$

Weight of second child $=m_2g=264.6 kg$

Torque of first child weight $=m_1g\cos \theta \cdot r_1$

$T_1=44\times 9.8\times \cos 27\times 1=384.202 N-m$

Torque of second child weight $=m_2g\cos \theta \cdot r_2$

$T_2=27\times 9.8\times \cos 27\times 2.1=495.096 N-m$

Net torque $T_{net}=T_1+T_2=384.202+495.096=879.29 N-m$

Sound waves can be used in a similar way to "see" things. After turning on a sound source, we can look at the pattern of reflected sound waves that bounce back to us. Our own ears and brain don't process sound into mental pictures.

An elevator supported by a single cable descends a shaft at a constant speed. The only forces acting on the elevator are the ten

VikaD [51]

Answer:

C. The net work done by the two forces is zero joules.

Explanation:

Work (W) is defined as the product of force F) by the distance (d)the body travels due to this force.

W= F*d Formula ( 1)

The work is positive (W+) if the force has the same direction of movement of the object.

The work is negative (W-) if the force has the opposite direction of the movement of the object.

The component of the force that performs work must be parallel to the displacement.

Calculation of the forces

We apply Newton's second law:

∑F = m*a

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

m : mass in kilograms (kg)

a : acceleration in meters over second square (m/s²)

∑F = m*a

a = 0 because the elevator moves at constant speed.

∑F=0

T-W = 0

T = W

Calculation of work done by the forces

W₁ : work done by the gravity= (+ W*d ) J

W₂ : work done by the tension force=( -T*d) J

Net work done by the two forces(W₁-W₂):

W₁= W₂ .because T = W

W₁-W₂ =0

A billiard ball strikes and rebounds from the cushion of a pool table perpendicularly. The mass of the ball is 0.38 kg The ball

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

Force is 432.94 N along the rebound direction of ball.

Explanation:

Force is rate of change of momentum.

$\texttt{Force}=\frac{\texttt{Final momentum-Initial momentum}}{\texttt{Time}}$

Final momentum = 0.38 x -1.70 = -0.646 kgm/s

Initial momentum = 0.38 x 2.20 = 0.836 kgm/s

Change in momentum = -0.646 - 0.836 = -1.472 kgm/s

Time = 3.40 x 10⁻³ s

$\texttt{Force}=\frac{\texttt{Final momentum-Initial momentum}}{\texttt{Time}}=\frac{-1.472}{3.40\times 10^{-3}}\\\\\texttt{Force}=-432.94N$

Force is 432.94 N along the rebound direction of ball.
