the refractive index of cooking oil is 1.47, and the refractive index of water is 1.33. A thick layer of cooking oil is floating
VARVARA [1.3K]
When light travels from a medium with higher refractive index to a medium with lower refractive index, there is a critical angle after which all the light is reflected (so, there is no refraction).

The value of this critical angle can be derived by Snell's law, and it is equal to
\theta_C = \arcsin ( \frac{n_2}{n_1} )
where n2 is the refractive index of the second medium and n1 is the refractive index of the first medium.

In our problem, n1=1.47 and n2=1.33, so the critical angle is
\theta_C = \arcsin( \frac{1.33}{1.47} )=\arcsin (0.91)=65^{\circ}

A sphere is charged with electrons to
pishuonlain [190]
A sphere is charged with electrons to −9 × 10−6 C. The value given is the total charge of all the electrons present in the sphere. To calculate the number of electrons in the sphere, we divide the the total charge with the charge of one electron.

N = 9 × 10−6 C / 1.6 × 10−19 C
N = 5.6 x 10^13

A cat falls from a tree (with zero initial velocity) at time t = 0. How far does the cat fall between t = 1 2 and t = 1 s? Use G
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

There is one mistake in the question.The Correct question is here

A cat falls from a tree (with zero initial velocity) at time t = 0. How far does the cat fall between t = 1/2 and t = 1 s? Use Galileo's formula v(t) = −9.8t m/s.

Answer:

y(1s) - y(1/2s) =  - 3.675 m  

The cat falls 3.675 m between time 1/2 s and 1 s.

Explanation:

Given data

time=1/2 sec to 1 sec

v(t)=-9.8t m/s

To find

Distance

Solution

As the acceleration as first derivative of velocity with respect to time  

So

acceleration(-g)=  dv/dt

Solve it

dv  =  a dt

dv =  -g dt

v - v₀  =  -gt

v=  dy/dt

dy  =  v dt

dy =  ( v₀ - gt ) dt

y(1s) - y(1/2s)  =  ( v₀ ) ( 1 - 1/2 ) - ( g/2 )[ ( t1)² -( t1/2s )² ]

y(1s) - y(1/2s)  = ( - 9.8/2 ) [ ( 1 )² - ( 1/2 )² ]

y1s - y1/2s  = ( - 4.9 m/s² ) ( 3/4 s² )

y(1s) - y(1/2s) =  - 3.675 m  

The cat falls 3.675 m between time 1/2 s and 1 s.

Answer:

Yes, a mixture can be made up of just elements and no compounds. The elements never experiance a chemical interaction and stay only in physical contact with each other.
