A submarine is 301 m horizontally out from the shore and 104 m beneath the surface of the water. A laser beam is sent from the sub so that it strikes the surface of the water at a point 242 m from the shore. If the bear ust strikes the top of a building standing directly at the water's edge, find the height of the building.

Question 1a. A soccer goal, found is a city park, is made up of tubing that supports an odd-shaped hanging net behind the goal, but has a rectangular opening infront. The height of the opening is 2.5m and the width is 3.2m. If a uniform E-field, with a magnitude of 0.1N/C, passes through the goal from the front to the back, entering at 90 degrees to the plane of the goal opening, what is the flux through the net? Also, find the flux through the net if the E-fieldenters the goal at 60 degrees angle to the plane of the front goal. In both cases, assume that there no charge found inside the goal itself.

1. A person walks out an unknown distance from a building of height 18 m and shines a flashlight beam towards its top. He finds that when the beam is elevated at an angle of 370 with respect to the horizontal, the light strikes the top of the building. Find (i) the distance walked by him and (ii) the distance the flash light beam has to travel before it strikes the top of the building.
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 52.5 km due east and have it detected by a light sensor that is 125 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. (b) 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 0.005°. Determine how far south you need to move the light sensor in order to detect the reflected laser light.
A catfish is 2.00 m below the surface of a smooth lake. (a)What is the diameter of the circle on the surface through which the fish can see the world outside the water? (b) If the fish descends, does the diameter of the circle increase, decrease, or remain the same?
In an experiment designed to measure the speed of light, a laser is aimed at a mirror that is 56.0 km due north. A detector is placed 146 m due east of the laser. The mirror is to be aligned so that light from the laser refelects into the detector. (a) When properly aligned, what angle should the normal to the surface of the mirror make with due south? (b) Suppose the mirror is misaligned, so that the actual angle between the normal to the surface and due south is too large by 0.0050°. By how many meters (due east) will the reflected ray miss the detector? (a) Number i (b) Number i Units Mirror Units Laser ◄► W N S E Detector
