Answer:

It is Reflection of light from water surface

Explanation:

When light coming from the mountains incident on the stationary water surface then major proportion of light gets reflected from the surface of water and this will received by the observer eye.

We also know that when light beam gets reflected into the form of beam then it is known as regular reflection.

Here when water surface is calm then the surface is assumed to be plane and in this case the light gets reflected by the surface of water in same direction and we got a good image in the water.

So this property of image is due to reflection of light.

Using software, a simulation of a javelin being thrown both on Earth and on the moon is created. In both cases, the velocity and

mario62 [17]

Horizontal distance covered by a projectile is X = Vix *T

where Vix is the initial horizontal component of velocity and T is time taken by the projectile

Vix = ViCos theta

In question they said that initial velocity and angle is same on earth and moon

so Vix would remains same

now let's see about time taken T

time taken to reach the highest point

Vfy = Viy +gt

at highest point vertical velocity become zero so Vfy =0

0 = Vi Sin theta + gt

t = Vi Sintheta /g

Total time taken to land will be twice of that

On earth

Te= 2t

Te = 2Sinθ/g

on moon g is one-sixth of g(earth)

Tm = 2Sinθ/(g/6)

Tm = 6(2Sinθ/g)

Tm = 6Te

so total time taken by the projectile on moon will be six times the time taken on earth

From first equation X = Vix*T

we can see that X will also be 6 times on moon than earth

so projectile will cover 6 times distance on moon than on earth

Explanation:

A 1 m long wire of diameter 1mm is submerged in an oil bath of temperature 25-degC. The wire has an electrical resistance per unit length of 0.01 Ω/m. If a current of 100 A flows through the wire and the convection coefficient is 500W/m2K, what is the steady state temperature of the wire? From the time the current is applied, how long does it take for the wire to reach a temperature within 1-degC of the steady state value? The density of the wire is 8,000kg/m3, its heat capacity is 500 J/kgK and its thermal condu

The diameter of the wire is known to be=1mm

The density of the wire is 8,000 kg/m3,

heat capacity is 500 J/kgK

from lump capavity method

$B_{i} =\frac{hr/2}{k}$

500*(2.5*10^-4)/20

0.006<0.1

we know also, to find steady state temperature

$\pi$ Dh(T-Tinf)= $I^{2} R_{e}$

make T the subject of the equation , we have

T=25+ $\frac{100^2*0.01}{\pi*0.001*500 }$

T=88.7 degC

rate of chnage in temperature

dT/dt= $\frac{I^2*Re}{rho*c*\pi*D^2/4 } -\frac{4h}{rho*c*D} (T-Tinf)$

at t=o and integrating both sides $\frac{T-Tinf-(I^2*Re/\pi*Dh) }{Ti-Tinf-(I^2*Re/\pi*Dh } =exp\frac{-4ht}{rho*c*D}$

we have

$\frac{87.7-25-63.7}{25-25-63.7} =exp\frac{4*500t}{8000*500*0.001}$

t=8.31s

steady state temperature =88.7deg C

t=time within 1 degC of it steady stae is 8.31s

An electron moves in a circular path perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field with a magnitude of 2.14 mT. If the speed of the

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

(a) 3.9cm

(b) 1.66 x 10⁻⁸s

Explanation:

Since the electron is moving in a circular path, the centripetal acceleration needed to keep it from slipping off is provided by the magnetic force. This force (F), according to Newton's second law of motion is given by,

F = m x a --------------(i)

Where;

m = mass of the particle

a = acceleration of the mass

The centripetal acceleration is given by;

a = v² / r [v = linear velocity of particle, r = radius of circular path]

Therefore, equation (i) becomes;

F = m v²/ r --------------------(ii)

The magnitude of the magnetic force on a moving charge in a magnetic field as stated by Lorentz's law is given by;

F = qvBsinθ -------------(iii)

Where;

q = charge of the particle

v = velocity of the particle

B = magnetic field

θ = angle between the velocity and the magnetic field

Combine equations (ii) and (iii) as follows;

m (v² / r) = qvBsinθ [divide both side by v]

m v / r = qBsinθ [make r subject of the formula]

r = (m v) / (qBsinθ) ---------(iv)

(a) From the question;

v = 1.48 x 10⁷m/s

B = 2.14mT = 2.14 x 10⁻³T

θ = 90° [since the direction of velocity is perpendicular to magnetic field]

m = mass of electron = 9.11 x 10⁻³¹kg

q = charge of electron = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹C

Substitute these values into equation (iv) as follows;

r = (9.11 x 10⁻³¹ x 1.48 x 10⁷) / (1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ x 2.14 x 10⁻³ sin 90°)

r = 3.9 x 10⁻²m

r = 3.9cm

Therefore, the radius of the circular path is 3.9cm

(b) The time interval required to complete one revolution is the period (T) of the motion of the electron and it is given by

T = d / v --------------(*)

Where;

d = distance traveled in the circular path in one complete turn = 2πr

v = velocity of the motion = 1.48 x 10⁷m/s

d = 2 π (3.9 x 10⁻²) [Take π = 22/7 = 3.142]

d = 2(3.142)(3.9 x 10⁻²) = 0.245m

Substitute the values of d and v into equation (*) as follows;

T = 0.245 / 1.48 x 10⁷

T = 0.166 x 10⁻⁷s

T = 1.66 x 10⁻⁸s

Therefore, the time interval is 1.66 x 10⁻⁸s
