what do you think is the purpose of a periscope? Are there any other uses for periscopes besides for submarines?

1 answer:

3 0

Military personnel also use periscopes in some gun turrets and in armoured vehicles. More complex periscopes using prisms or advanced fibre optics instead of mirrors and providing magnification operate on submarines and in various fields of science

A 0.350kg bead slides on a curved fritionless wire,

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

h2 = 0.092m

Explanation:

From a balance of energy from point A to point B, we get speed before the collision:

$m1*g*h-\frac{m1*V_B^2}{2}=0$ Solving for Vb:

$V_B=\sqrt{2gh}=6.56658m/s$

Since the collision is elastic, we now that velocity of bead 1 after the collision is given by:

$V_{B'}=V_B*\frac{m1-m2}{m1+m2} = \sqrt{2gh}* \frac{m1-m2}{m1+m2}=-1.34316m/s$

Now, by doing another balance of energy from the instant after the collision, to the point where bead 1 stops, we get the distance it rises:

$m1*g*h2-\frac{m1*V_{B'}^2}{2}=0$ Solving for h2:

h2 = 0.092m

An object is projected from the ground with an upward speed of ų m/s has a speed of 23m/s when it is at a height of 5m above the

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

25.08m/s

Explanation:

mgh1 + 0.5mv1² = mgh2 + 0.5mv2²

h1 = 0m

v1 = u

h2 = 5m

v2 = 23m/s

putting the values into the formula above;

m(10)(0) + 0.5m(u²) = m(10)(5) + 0.5m(23²)

0 + 0.5mu² = 50m + 264.5m

0.5mu² = 314.5m

dividing through by m

0.5u² = 314.5

u² = 629

u = 25.08m/s

Therefore, the initial speed "u" = 25m/s

Titus drives his jetski a distance of 1000 meters in 7.045 seconds. How fast was he moving in meters per second? How fast was he

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

a) v = 141.9 m/s

b) v = 317.4 miles/h

Explanation:

a) How fast was he moving in meters per second?

$v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{1000 m}{7.045 s} = 141.9 m/s$

Hence, the jet ski is moving at 141.9 meters per second.

b) How fast was he moving in miles per hour?

$v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{1000 m}{7.045 s} = 141.9 m/s*\frac{3600 s}{1 h}*\frac{1 mile}{1609.34 m} = 317.4 miles/h$

Therefore, the jet ski is moving at 317.4 miles per hour.

I hope it helps you!

A body is placed on a rough inclined plane. Why does the frictional force decrease with the increase of angle of inclination

kondor19780726 [428]

The frictional force is directly proportional to the force that is perpendicular on the surface.

When the body is placed on a horizontal level with zero inclination, the only force acting on the body is the gravitational force which always pulls the body down. The gravitational force, in this case, is the perpendicular force to the surface. Accordingly, this entire force is used to generate friction

Now as the inclination of the surface increases, the gravitational force is no longer the perpendicular force of the body, its value decreases, which means only a part is used to generate frictional force. Consequently, frictional force decreases.

When the inclination reaches 90 degrees, the gravitational force does not act along the normal and accordingly, no friction force is generated.
