10. A diver is collecting shells under water. They see a very large and beautiful shell so they reach out to pick it up. After s

everal missed attempts to grab the shell, the diver places it in a dive bag and surfaces. At the surface the diver is surprised that the shell is smaller than they thought. Explain this phenomenon.

Physics help please

zhuklara [117]

Answer: 37.981 m/s

Explanation:

This situation is related to projectile motion or parabolic motion, in which the travel of the ball has two components: <u>x-component</u> and <u>y-component.</u> Being their main equations as follows:

<u>x-component: </u>

$x=V_{o}cos\theta t$ (1)

Where:

$x=52 m$ is the point where the ball strikes ground horizontally

$V_{o}$ is the ball's initial speed

$\theta=0$ because we are told the ball is thrown horizontally

$t$ is the time since the ball is thrown until it hits the ground

<u>y-component: </u>

$y=y_{o}+V_{o}sin\theta t+\frac{gt^{2}}{2}$ (2)

Where:

$y_{o}=120m$ is the initial height of the ball

$y=0$ is the final height of the ball (when it finally hits the ground)

$g=-9.8m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity

Knowing this, let's start by finding $t$ from (2):

<u></u>

$0=y_{o}+V_{o}sin(0\°) t+\frac{gt^{2}}{2}$ (3)

$0=y_{o}+\frac{gt^{2}}{2}$

$t=\sqrt{\frac{-2 y_{o}}{g}}$ (4)

$t=\sqrt{\frac{-2 (120 m)}{-9.8m/s^{2}}}$ (5)

$t=4.948 s$ (6)

Then, we have to substitute (6) in (1):

$x=V_{o}cos(0\°) t$ (7)

And find $V_{o}$ :

$V_{o}=\frac{x}{t}$ (8)

$V_{o}=\frac{52 m}{4.948 s}$ (9)

$V_{o}=10.509 m/s$ (10)

On the other hand, since we are dealing with constant acceleration (due gravity) we can use the following equation to find the value of the ball's final velocity $V$ :

$V=V_{o} + gt$ (11)

$V=10.509 m/s + (-9.8 m/s^{2})(4.948 s)$ (12)

$V=-37.981 m/s$ (13) This is the ball's final velocity, and the negative sign indicates its direction is downwards.

However, we were asked to find the <u>ball's final speed</u>, which is the module of the ball's final vleocity vector. This module is always positive, hence the speed of the ball just before it strikes the ground is 37.981 m/s (positive).

A slab of glass 8.0 cm thick is placed upon a printed page. If the refractive index of the glass is 1.5, how far from the surfac

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

5.3 cm

Explanation:

This question is an illustration of real and apparent distance.

From the question, we have the following given parameters

Real Distance, R = 8.0cm

Refractive Index, μ = 1.5

Required

Determine the apparent distance (A)

The relationship between R, A and μ is:

μ = R/A

i.e.

Refractive Index = Real Distance ÷ Apparent Distance

Substitute values in the above formula

1.5 = 8/A

Multiply both sides by A

1.5 * A = A * 8/A

1.5A = 8

Divide both side by 1.5

1.5A/1.5 = 8/1.5

A = 8/1.5

A = 5.3cm

Hence, the letters would appear at a distance of 5.3cm

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Newtons first law states that if an object is at rest it will stay at rest only if an unbalanced force acts on it. As well as if an object is in motion it will stay in motion unless an unbalanced force acts on it.

Ps- The object will stay moving in the same speed and direction.
