How does Newtons second law of motion relate to Track and field (running sport)?

1 answer:

3 0

Newton's second law also helps to explain what happens every time an athlete lands during running. When the foot hits the track, it will decelerate to a stop before leaving the track again. The faster the deceleration, the greater the force of impact on the foot.

A cruise ship is having troubles with buoyancy. What is a reasonable solution? A. Increase the weight of the ship above water B.

Setler [38]

If a cruise ship is having troubles with buoyancy, then spread the weight of the ship over a greater volume.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation: </u>

Buoyancy is the upward thrusting phenomenon of water acting on any object immersed partially or fully in water body. Hence, it creates the buoyant forces that is inversely proportionate to the immersing body's density. If the immersing body's density is higher than the density of the immersing medium then the body will get completely immersed in the water.

Similarly, in case of less, the buoyant forces act on the body will prevent it from complete immersion and allow it to float on water. Mostly cruise ships and other navy vessels use this phenomenon to keep on floating on surface of water.

In the present condition, the solution for buoyancy problem faced by a cruise ship can be solved by decreasing the density of the ship. And the ship's density can be decreased by increasing the ship's volume or by spreading the ship's weight over a greater volume.

What is the term of movement in a particular direction

Art [367]

That is a vector. It is a combination of direction and velocity. (You can think of Vector from Despicable Me to help you remember the term)

Estimate how far apart the rays of deepest red and deepest violet light are as they exit the bottom surface. assume nred = 1.57

Harlamova29_29 [7]

We begin by noting that the angle of incidence is the one that's taken with respect to the normal to the surface in question. In this case the angle of incidence is 30. The material is Flint Glass according to the original question. The refractive indez of air n1=1, the refractive index of red in flint glass is nred=1.57, finally for violet in the glass medium is nviolet=1.60. Snell's Law dictates:
$n_1sin(\theta_1)=n_2sin(\theta_2)$
Where $\theta_2$ differs for each wavelenght, that means violet and red will have different refractive indices in the glass.
In the second figure provided details are given on which are the angles in question, $\Delta x$ is the distance between both rays.
$\theta_{2red}=Asin(\frac{sin(30)}{1.57})\approx 18.5705$
$\theta_{2violet}=Asin(\frac{sin(30)}{1.60})\approx 18.21$
At what distance d from the incidence normal will the beams land at the bottom?
For violet we have:
$d_{violet}=h.tan(\theta_{2violet})\approx 0.0132m$
For red we have:
$d_{red}=h.tan(\theta_{2red})\approx 0.0134m$
We finally have:
$\Delta x=d_{red}-d_{violet}\approx2.8\times10^{-4}m$

<span>Skepticism is a quality that scientists need. Because if they do not have that, they would not be motivated to do research on things they have doubts on. We would not have things we have today. Please rate me, and if this helped, thank me. If this really helped crown me brainiest answer. </span>
