Answer:

D = 2.828 m

Explanation:

given,

distance of source of light = 1.24 m below surface of pool

refractive index of the water = n₁ = 1.33

refractive index of air = n₂ = 1

refraction angle be = 90°

let C be the critical angle

Radius = d tan C

d is the depth of the source

Using Snell's law

n₁ sin C = n₂ sin R

1.33 x sin C = 1 x sin 90°

$sin C = \dfrac{1}{1.33}$

$C = sin^{-1}(0.752)$

C = 48.75°

hence,

R = 1.24 x tan 48.75°

R = 1.414 m

Diameter = 2 x R

D = 2 x 1.414

D = 2.828 m

Consider the circuit shown in the figure to find the power delivered to 6 Ohm resistance (in W). Given that Vs= 30

vekshin1

66.7 Watts

Explanation:

Let $R_{1}=1.0$ ohms, $R_{2}=3.0$ ohms and $R_{3}=6.0\:$ ohms. Since $R_{2}$ and $R_{3}$ are in parallel, their combined resistance $R_{23}$ is given by

$\dfrac{1}{R_{23}}=\dfrac{1}{R_{2}}+\dfrac{1}{R_{3}}$

or

$R_{23}=\dfrac{R_{2}R_{3}}{R_{2}+ R_{3}}=2.0\:ohms$

The total current flowing through the circuit <em>I</em> is given

$I=\dfrac{V_{s}}{R_{Total}}$

where

$R_{Total}=R_{1}+R_{23}= 3.0\:ohms$

Therefore, the total current through the circuit is

$I=\dfrac{30\:V}{3.0\:ohms}=10\:A$

In order to find the voltage drop across the 6-ohm resistor, we first need to find the voltage drop across the 1-ohm resistor $V_{1}$ :

$V_{1}=(10\:A)(1.0\:ohms)=10\:V$

This means that voltage drop across the 6-ohm resistor $V_{3}$ is 20 V. The power dissipated <em>P</em> by the 6-ohm resitor is given by

$P=I^{2}R_{3}= \dfrac{V^{2}}{R_{3}}=\dfrac{(20\:V)^{2}}{6\:ohms}= 66.7 W$

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

The distance can the water be projected is 4.51 m

Explanation:

The speed of the water in the hose is equal to:

v1 = R/A1

If we solve the continuity for v2:

v2 = R/A2 (eq. 1)

The equation for the vertical position is:

yf = yi + vy*t - (1/2)gt²

yi = 0

vy = 0

Clearing t:

$t=\sqrt{\frac{-2y_{f} }{g} }$ (eq. 2)

The equation for position is:

xf = xi + vxt = 0 + v2t = v2t (eq. 3)

Replacing equation 1 and 2 in equation 3:

$x_{f} =\frac{R}{A_{2} } \sqrt{\frac{-2y_{f} }{g} } =\frac{30}{0.5} \sqrt{\frac{(-2)*(-1)}{9.8} }*\frac{1000}{60} =451.75cm=4.51m$

A square is 1.0 m on a side. Point charges of +4.0 μC are placed in two diagonally opposite corners. In the other two corners ar

Answer:

<em>B) 1.0 × 10^5 V</em>

Explanation:

<u>Electric Potential Due To Point Charges </u>

The electric potential produced from a point charge Q at a distance r from the charge is

$\displaystyle V=k\frac{Q}{r}$

The total electric potential for a system of point charges is equal to the sum of their individual potentials. This is a scalar sum, so direction is not relevant.

We must compute the total electric potential in the center of the square. We need to know the distance from all the corners to the center. The diagonal of the square is

$d=\sqrt2 a$

where a is the length of the side.

The distance from any corner to the center is half the diagonal, thus

$\displaystyle r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{a}{\sqrt{2}}$

$\displaystyle r=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=0.707\ m$

The total potential is

$V_t=V_1+V_2+V_3+V_4$

Where V1 and V2 are produced by the +4\mu C charges and V3 and V4 are produced by the two opposite charges of $\pm 3\mu\ C$ . Since all the distances are equal, and the charges producing V3 and V4 are opposite, V3 and V4 cancel each other. We only need to compute V1 or V2, since they are equal, but they won't cancel.

$\displaystyle V_1=V_2=k\frac{Q}{r}=9\times 10^9 \frac{4\times 10^{-6}}{0.707}$

$V_1=V_2=50912\ V$

The total potential is

$V_t=50912\ V+50912\ V=1\times 10^5\ V$

$\boxed{V_t=1\times 10^5\ V}$
