Answer:

Apparent depth (Da) = 60.15 cm (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Distance from fish (D) = 80 cm

Find:

Apparent depth (Da)

Computation:

We know that,

Refractive index of water (n2) = 1.33

So,

Apparent depth (Da) = D(n1/n2)

Apparent depth (Da) = 80 (1/1.33)

Apparent depth (Da) = 60.15 cm (Approx)

A plane has an average air speed (this is the speed the plane moves through air) of 750 mph. The plane flies a route of 5000 mil
Digiron [165]

Answer:

6 hours 15 minutes

Explanation:

On the trip from L.A. to London, the plane travels at 750 mph against a headwind of 50 mph, and that makes the net 700 mph (in aviation speak, 750 is the airspeed, while 700 is the groundspeed).  5000 miles divided by 700 mph results in about 7.14 hours, or about 7 hours and 9 minutes.  On the return trip, ASSUMING THE SAME WIND, the plane travels at 750 mph, but this time the wind of 50 mph is a tail wind.  So the net (groundspeed) is 800 mph.  Traveling 5000 miles at 800 mph only takes 6.25 hours, or 6 hours and 15 minutes.  

Outbound flight 7 hours 9 minutes

Return flight 6 hours 15 minutes

Jim stands beside a wide river and wonders how wide it is. he spots a large rock on the bank directly across from him. he then w
LuckyWell [14K]

To solve this problem, we must imagine that Jim’s initial position, the position of the rock, and Jim’s final position all connects to form a triangle. Now we can imagine that the triangle is a right triangle with the 90° angle on the initial position.

The angle of 30° is directly opposite to the length of his total stride while the width of the river is the side adjacent to the angle. Therefore can use the tan function to solve for the width of the river:

tan θ = opposite side / adjacent side

tan 30 = total stride distance / width of river

where total stride distance = 65 * 0.8 = 52 m

width of river = 52 m / tan 30

<span>width of river = 90.07 m</span>

for a given initial projectile speed, you observe that the projectile has a certain range R at a launch angle of a = 30. For wha
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

The other angle is 30 degrees.

Explanation:

The range of projectile is given by :

R=\dfrac{u^2\ \sin2\theta}{g}

Here,

u is the speed of launch of projectile

Here, \theta=30^{\circ}

We need to find the other launch angle when the projectile have the same range, such that,

\dfrac{u^2\ \sin(60)}{g}=\dfrac{u^2\ \sin2\alpha}{g}

\sin(60)=\sin2\alpha

\dfrac{\sqrt3}{2}=\sin2\alpha

\alpha =30^{\circ}

So, the other angle is 30 degrees. Hence, this is the required solution.

The image shows positions of the earth and the moon in which region would an astronaut feel the lightest
trapecia [35]

Answer:

The moon region

Explanation:

This is because there is little to no gravity on the moon. That is where the astronaut would feel the lightest.
