Answer: 1.301 seconds

Explanation:

Provided values

Initial Velocity(u)=30 m/s

Cliff Height=8.3 m

Time for covering 8.3 m

h=ut+\frac{at^2}{2}

The initial vertical velocity is 0.

8.3=\frac{gt^2}{2}

t^2=1.69

t=1.301 s

Horizontal distance

R=u\times t

R=30\times 1.301=39.04 m

What is meant in astronomy by the phrase "adaptive optics?
kicyunya [3294]

Response: a. The mirrors and eyepiece of a large telescope are designed with spring-loaded components to quickly return to a predetermined position.

Justification:

Adaptive optics refers to a technique employed by various astronomical observatories to compensate in real-time for the atmospheric turbulence that impacts astronomical imaging.

This is executed by integrating advanced deformable mirrors into the telescope's optical pathway, operated by a set of computer-controlled actuators. This allows for obtaining clearer images despite the atmospheric fluctuations that create distortions.

It is crucial to note that this process requires a moderately bright reference star located closely to the object being studied.

However, locating such stars is not always feasible, prompting the use of a strong laser beam directed at the upper atmosphere to create artificial stars.

a 75 kg man is standing at rest on ice while holding a 4kg ball. if the man throws the ball at a velocity of 3.50 m/s forward, w
Keith_Richards [3271]

Answer:

The resulting velocity for him will be 0.187 m/s in reverse direction.

Explanation:

Given:

The mass of the man is, M=75\ kg

The mass of the ball is, m=4\ kg

The initial velocity of the man is, u_m=0\ m/s(rest)

The initial velocity of the ball is, u_b=0\ m/s(rest)

The final velocity of the ball is, v_b=3.50\ m/s

The final velocity of the man is, v_m=?\ m/s

To determine this scenario, we employ the principle of momentum conservation.

This principle states that the total initial momentum equals the total final momentum.

Momentum is calculated by multiplying mass by velocity.

Initial momentum = Initial momentum of the man and the ball

Initial momentum = Mu_m+mu_b=75\times 0+4\times 0 =0\ Nm

Final momentum = Final momentum of the man and the ball

Final momentum = Mv_m+mv_b=75\times v_m+4\times 3.50 =75v_m+14

Hence, the total initial momentum equals the total final momentum

0=75v_m+14\\\\75v_m=-14\\\\v_m=\frac{-14}{75}\\\\v_m=-0.187\ m/s

The negative sign indicates that the man moves backward.

Thus, his final velocity ends up being 0.187 m/s backward.

kicyunya [3294]

Response:

a) 318.2 W/m^2

b) 2.5 x 10^-4 J

c) 1.55 x 10^-8 v/m

Reasoning:

The laser power P = 1 mW = 1 x 10^-3 W

duration t = 250 ms = 250 x 10^-3 s

Taking a beam diameter of 2 mm = 2 x 10^-3 m

therefore

the beam's cross-sectional area A = \pi d^{2} /4 = (3.142 x (2*10^{-3} )^{2})/4

A = 3.142 x 10^-6 m^2

a) The intensity I = P/A

where P refers to the laser's power

and A represents the beam's cross-sectional area

I = ( 1 x 10^-3)/(3.142 x 10^-6) = 318.2 W/m^2

b) The total energy delivered E =Pt

where P is the beam's power

and t is the exposure duration

E = 1 x 10^-3 x 250 x 10^-3 = 2.5 x 10^-4 J

c) The peak electric field can be computed as

E = \sqrt{2I/ce_{0} }

where I signifies the beam's intensity

and E is the electric field

c is the speed of light = 3 x 10^8 m/s

e_{0} = 8.85 x 10^9 m kg s^-2 A^-2

E = \sqrt{2*318.2/3*10^8*8.85*10^9} = 1.55 x 10^-8 v/m

Sav [3153]
Even if we lack details about the size of the pressure cooker or the altitude of its operation, we can reliably assess the force on the lid based on prior knowledge because, similar to boiling water, the pressure buildup inside the cooker increases in line with the rising temperature.
