Let’s allow ourselves to be a little more optimistic with our bus passengers. Earlier in the movie Sandy has to make the bus jum

p a large gap in the roadway. She is moving at 60 mph and as an astute physicist, she knows she must get the bus moving at a minimum of 80 mph within a half mile if she is to make the jump. Assuming constant acceleration, when does the bus make the jump after it begins to accelerate? (1 mile = 1609.34 m)

Answer:

25.71486 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity = 60 mph

v = Final velocity = 80 mph

s = Displacement = 0.5 mile

a = Acceleration

Converting to m/s

60\times \dfrac{1609.34}{3600}=26.8223\ m/s

80\times \dfrac{1609.34}{3600}=35.7631\ m/s

From equation of motion

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{35.7631^2-26.8223^2}{2\times \dfrac{1609.34}{2}}\\\Rightarrow a=0.34769\ m/s^2

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{35.7631-26.8223}{0.34769}\\\Rightarrow t=25.71486\ s

Time taken is 25.71486 seconds

A parallel beam of light in air makes an angle of 43.5 ∘ with the surface of a glass plate having a refractive index of 1.68. Yo
aniked [119]

Answer:

a) 46.5º  b) 64.4º

Explanation:

To solve this problem we will use the laws of geometric optics

a) For this part we will use the law of reflection that states that the reflected and incident angle are equal

     θ = 43.5º

This angle measured from the surface is

     θ_r = 90 -43.5

     θ_s = 46.5º

b) In this part the law of refraction must be used

     n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂. Sin θ₂

     sin θ₂ = n₁ / n₂ sin θ₁

The index of air refraction is n₁ = 1

The angle is this equation is measured between the vertical line called normal, if the angles are measured with respect to the surface

     θ_s = 90 - θ

     θ_s = 90- 43.5

     θ_s = 46.5º

     sin θ₂ = 1 / 1.68  sin 46.5

     sin θ₂ = 0.4318

     θ₂ = 25.6º

The angle with respect to the surface is

     θ₂_s = 90 - 25.6

     θ₂_s = 64.4º

measured in the fourth quadrant

A rotating merry go-round makes one complete revolution in 4.2 s. (a) what is the linear speed of a child seated 1.3 m from the
gregori [183]
The radius, r, of the child from the center of the wheel is
r = 1.3 m

The wheel makes one revolution in 4.2 s. Its angular velocity is
ω = (2π rad)/(4.2 s) = 1.496 rad/s

The linear speed of the child is the tangential velocity, given by
v = rω
   = (1.3 m)*(1.496 rad/s)
   = 1.945 m/s

Answer: 1.95 m/s  (nearest hundredth)
