Use the formula distance = rate * time. substitute in the values you know, which gives you distance = 120mph * 3.5hours. multiply 120 and 3.5 to get distance = 420 miles.

A thin beam of light enters a thick plastic sheet from air at an angle of 32.0° with the normal and continues in the sheet at an
Cloud [144]

Answer:

1.36

Explanation:

n_{air} = Index of refraction of air = 1

n_{plastic} = Index of refraction of plastic = ?

i = angle of incidence in air = 32.0° deg

r = angle of refraction in plastic = 23.0° deg

Using Snell's law

n_{air} Sini = n_{plastic} Sinr

(1) SIn32.0 = n_{plastic} Sin23.0

n_{plastic} = 1.36

A) The current theory of the structure of the Earth, called plate tectonics, tells us that the continents are in constant motion
suter [353]

A) The mass of the continent is 2.5\cdot 10^{21} kg

B) The kinetic energy is 2016 J

C) The speed of the jogger should be 7.1 m/s

Explanation:

A)

The mass of the continent can be calculated as

m = \rho V

where

\rho = 2800 kg/m^3 is its density

V is its volume

We have to calculate its volume. We know that the continent is represented as a slab of side 5900 km (so its surface is 5900 x 5900, assuming it is a square) and depth of 26 km, so its volume is:

V=(5900 km)^2 (26 km)=9.05\cdot 10^8 km^3 =9.05 \cdot 10^8 \cdot (10^9 m^3/k^3)=9.05\cdot 10^7 m^3

So, the mass of the continent is

m=\rho V = (2800)(9.05\cdot 10^{17})=2.5\cdot 10^{21} kg

B)

The kinetic energy of a body is given by

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m is the mass of the body

v is its speed

For the continent, we have:

m=2.5\cdot 10^{21} kg is the mass

v=4 cm/year is the speed

We have to convert the speed into SI units. we have:

1 cm = 0.01 m

1 year = (365)(24)(60)(60) s = 3.15\cdot 10^7 s

So, the speed is

v=4 cm/year = 0.04 m/year \cdot \frac{1}{3.15\cdot 10^7}=1.27\cdot 10^{-9} m/s

Therefore, the kinetic energy is

K=\frac{1}{2}(2.5\cdot 10^{21} kg)(1.27\cdot 10^{-9} m/s)^2=2016 J

C)

Again, the kinetic energy of an object is

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

For the jogger in this problem, his mass is

m = 80 kg

And we want its kinetic energy to be equal to that of the continent, so

K = 2016 J

Re-arranging the equation for v, we find what speed the jogger needs to have this kinetic energy:

v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(2016)}{80}}=7.1 m/s

An 80.0-kg object is falling and experiences a drag force due to air resistance. The magnitude of this drag force depends on its
Alja [10]

Answer:

 Terminal velocity of object = 12.58 m/s

Explanation:

 We know that the terminal velocity is attained when drag force and gravitational force are of the same magnitude.

Gravitational force = mg = 80 * 9.8 = 784 N

Drag force = 12.0v+4.00v^2

Equating both, we have

    784=12.0v+4.00v^2\\ \\ v^2+3v-196=0\\ \\ (v-12.58)(v+15.58)=0

  So v = 12.58 m/s or v = -15.58 m/s ( not possible)

 So terminal velocity of object = 12.58 m/s

A basketball rolls off a deck that is 3.2 m from the pavement. The basketball lands 0.75 m from the edge of the deck. How fast w
Aneli [31]
The table is almost perfect. BUT ... since she called ay negative, that means she's calling the upward direction positive-y and the downward direction negative-y. In that case, since the ball moves downward from the deck to the pavement, the change in y should be negative 3.2 m. Everything else in her table is fine. Choice-D is the good one.

Now, regarding the speed of the ball ...
How long does it take to fall 3.2 m ?
Use the formula. D = 1/2 g T^2 .

3.2 = 4.9 T^2.

T^2 = 3.2/4.9

T = √(3.2/4.9) = 0.808 second.

The ball hit the pavement 0.808 second after it rolled off the deck. So that's also the time it took to move the 0.75 m horizontally.

Speed = distance / time

Speed = 0.75 m / 0.808 second

Speed = 0.928 meter/second .
