A diver explores a shallow reef off the coast of Belize. She initially swims d1 = 74.8 m north, makes a turn to the east and con

tinues for d2 = 160.7 km, then follows a big grouper (a kind of fish) for d3 = 75.5 m in the direction θ = 41.8° north of east. Finally, she swims d4 = 198.1 m south.Assuming the current is no longer present, in what direction and how far should she now swim to come back to the point where she started?

Answer:R=1607556m

θ=180degrees

Explanation:

d1=74.8m

d2=160.7km=160.7km*1000

d2=160700m

d3=80m

d4=198.1m

Using analytical method :

Rx=-(160700+75*cos(41.8))= -160755.9m

Ry= -(74.8+75sin(41.8))-198.1=73m

Magnitude, R:

R=√Rx+Ry

R=√160755.9^2+20^2=160755.916

R=160756m

Direction,θ:

θ=arctan(Rx/Ry)

θ=arctan(-73/160755.9)

θ=-7.9256*10^-6

Note that θ is in the second quadrant, so add 180

θ=180-7.9256*10^6=180degrees

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

e. Not enough information to determine

Explanation:

This question is incomplete. Here is the complete question with my solution afterwards;

A ladybug sits at the outer edge of a turntable, and a gentleman bug sits halfway between her and the axis of rotation. The turntable (initially at rest) begins to rotate with its rate of rotation constantly increasing.

What is the first event that will occur?(Assume non-zero frictional force and the same coefficients of friction for both bugs.)

a. The ladybug begins to slide

b. The gentleman bug begins to slide

c. Both bugs begin to slide at the same time

d. Nothing ever happens

e. Not enough information to determine

The centripetal force acting on a rotating body or bugs can be written as,

F=mrw^2

m= mass of the corresponding bugs

r= corresponding radial distance of each bug

w= angular speed of the turntable

The centripetal force tries to slide the bugs in an outward direction and it is directly proportional to the products of its mass and radial distance from the axis of rotation of the turntable

F ∝ mr

Since the radial distance from the axis of rotation of the turntable for each bug is given, but the mass is not given, the given information is therefore not enough to determine which bugs will slide first.

Option "e" is correct.

If the briefcase hits the water 6.0 s later, what was the speed at which the helicopter was ascending?
vovikov84 [41]

Complete Question

In an action movie, the villain is rescued from the ocean by grabbing onto the ladder hanging from a helicopter. He is so intent on gripping the ladder that he lets go of his briefcase of counterfeit money when he is 130 m above the water. If the briefcase hits the water 6.0 s later, what was the speed at which the helicopter was ascending?

Answer:

The speed of the helicopter is u  =  7.73 \  m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The height at which he let go of the brief case is  h =  130 m  

    The  time taken before the the brief case hits the water is  t =  6 s

Generally the initial speed of the  briefcase (Which also the speed of the helicopter )before the man let go of it is  mathematically evaluated using kinematic equation as

      s = h+  u t +  0.5 gt^2

Here s  is the distance covered by the bag at sea level which is zero

      0 = 130+  u * (6) +  0.5  *  (-9.8) * (6)^2

=>    0 = 130+  u * (6) +  0.5  *  (-9.8) * (6)^2

=>   u  =  \frac{-130 +  (0.5 * 9.8 *  6^2) }{6}

=>   u  =  7.73 \  m/s

How can controlling the way light bends and reflects be used to help people?
Vinil7 [7]

too much sun is dangerous for humans and can cause cancer so it's important that light is reflected for example a pool reflects water back to space that is why water sometimes is cold because it reflects light
