Explain how to find the acceleration of an object that has one-dimensional horizontal motion.

1 answer:

7 0

Acceleration is how much the velocity changes within a period of time so,

Acceleration= is the change in velocity divided by change in time

your units will be m/s squared

Which object experiences the greatest gravitational force? A)car B)fire truck C)plane D)human

Svetlanka [38]

Answer: C Plane

Explanation: According to Newton's law, gravitational force is proportional to the product of masses and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them.

Gravitational force depends on mass. The bigger the mass, the more the magnitude of the gravitational force. Since plane is assume to have the highest mass in the options, we can therefore conclude that plane will experience the highest gravitational force.

A person has legs of length L = 1.10 m. (a) If the maximum angle between the legs during walking is ϕ = 50o , what is the person

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

a). Maximum Length L=0.929m

b). T=0.83 Hz or 1.2s

c). Longer, the effortless waling T=2.1 Hz or t=0.475s

d). t=1.2s V=0.774 $\frac{m}{s}$

t=0.475s V=1.95 $\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

Length legs=L=1.1m

angle=50

the step that give the person forms a triangle whose two sides are known and the angle that forms between them, then using trigonometry as the image

Divide the original triangle in two and form a right triangle so the angle is 25 and the L is hypotenuse and the opposite is the step length

a).

$sin(\alpha) =\frac{op}{h}$

$op=h*sin(\frac{\alpha }{2})\\ op=1.1m*sin(\frac{50}{2})\\op=0.464m$

Length of the step

L=0.464m*2

L=0.928m

b).

period=T

$T=\frac{1}{time}=\frac{1}{t}\\ T=\frac{1}{1.2s}\\T=0.83 s^{-1}\\ T=0.83Hz$

c).

$T1=2\pi *\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}} \\T1=2\pi *\sqrt{\frac{1.1m}{9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}}}\\ T1=2.1 Hz$

The period is the inverse of the time of the motion so, the T1 is faster that the T because

$t=\frac{1}{T1}=t= \frac{1}{2.1}=0.47s$

d).

The speed is the relation between the distance with time so:

$Vt=\frac{0.928m}{1.2s} \\Vt=0.773 \frac{m}{s} \\Vt=\frac{0.928m}{0.475s} \\Vt=1.953 \frac{m}{s}$

The refractive index n of transparent acrylic plastic (full name Poly(methyl methacrylate)) depends on the color (wavelength) of

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

The angle between the blue beam and the red beam in the acrylic block is

$\theta _d =0.19 ^o$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The refractive index of the transparent acrylic plastic for blue light is $n_F = 1.497$

The wavelength of the blue light is $F = 486.1 nm = 486.1 *10^{-9} \ m$

The refractive index of the transparent acrylic plastic for red light is $n_C = 1.488$

The wavelength of the red light is $C = 656.3 nm = 656.3 *10^{-9} \ m$

The incidence angle is $i = 45^o$

Generally from Snell's law the angle of refraction of the blue light in the acrylic block is mathematically represented as

$r_F = sin ^{-1}[\frac{sin(i) * n_a }{n_F} ]$

Where $n_a$ is the refractive index of air which have a value of $n_a = 1$

$r_F = sin ^{-1}[\frac{sin(45) * 1 }{ 1.497} ]$

$r_F = 28.18^o$

Generally from Snell's law the angle of refraction of the red light in the acrylic block is mathematically represented as

$r_C = sin ^{-1}[\frac{sin(i) * n_a }{n_C} ]$

Where $n_a$ is the refractive index of air which have a value of $n_a = 1$

$r_C = sin ^{-1}[\frac{sin(45) * 1 }{ 1.488} ]$

$r_F = 28.37^o$

The angle between the blue beam and the red beam in the acrylic block

$\theta _d = r_C - r_F$

substituting values

$\theta _d = 28.37 - 28.18$

$\theta _d =0.19 ^o$
