Chapter 34, Problem 59EAP
You’re visiting the shark tank at the aquarium when you see a 2.5-m-long shark that appears to be swimming straight toward you at 2.0 m/s. What is the shark’s actual speed through the water? You can ignore the glass wall of the tank.

Manuel is scuba diving near a school of fish at a depth of −9.5 feet relative to sea level. Then he descends to look at a coral reef so that his depth changes by
4/5
of the current value. Find Manuel's depth, relative to sea level, near the coral reef.
A mirror faces a cliff located some distance away.
Mounted on the cliff is a second mirror, directly
opposite the first mirror and facing toward it. A gun
is fired very close to the first mirror. The speed of
sound is 342 m/s. How many times does the flash of
the gunshot travel the round-trip distance between
the mirrors before the echo of the gunshot is heard?

For an independent study project, you design an experiment to measure the speed of light. You propose to bounce laser light off a mirror that is 51.0 km due east and have it detected by a light sensor that is 129 m due south of the laser. The first problem is to orient the mirror so that the laser light reflects off the mirror and into the light sensor. (a) Determine the angle that the normal to the mirror should make with respect to due west. ANS:____º Since you can read your protractor only so accurately, the mirror is slightly misaligned and the actual angle between the normal to the mirror and due west exceeds the desired amount by 0.003°. Determine how far south you need to move the light sensor in order to detect the reflected laser light. ANS:_____ marrow_forward
- You are a detective interviewing someone who says that (while sitting on a porch that you know to be 600ft away) he saw the masked suspect commit the crime in broad daylight. "How do you know it was the suspect?" you ask. "I clearly saw the 'MOM' that is tattooed on his upper arm." "You're sure it was that particular tattoo and not some other tattoo?" "Yes, I'm sure," The witness replies. The suspect's tattoo has letters that are 6cm tall. Is the witness credible, or might he be framing the suspect? Justify your response and any estimates you might make.arrow_forwardA Fill in the missing entries in Table P38.70.
