Direction. Velocity is a vector that describes both speed and direction, while speed is a scalar that describes only speed regardless of direction.

Check body of the explanation

Explanation:

Ooook, quick theory rushdown. if you're at a depth of h in a tank of a fluid, the pressure is the sum of the atmosferic pressure (if the tank is open on top) plus a term which is the product of acceleration of gravity - about $10 ms^-^2$ , the density of whatever you're sinking in, and the depth at which you are. In formula, $p(h) = p_0 + \rho g h$ , and the pressure is the same for every point of the tank at the same depth.

At this point, we can start answering!

1a. The pressure at A is - not counting atmosferic pressure - $1000 * 10 * 1 = 10^4 Pa$ , while in B is $1000*10*2 = 2*10^4 Pa$ , so it's half of it.

1b. The two points are at the same depth, so the pressure is the same - they would be even if the two cilinders weren't linked!

1c. Ditto. Same depth? same pressure!

1d. Usual equation, this time density is 800. Pressure is $800*10*2 = 1,6*10^4 Pa$ : Since the density is 4/5 of water, the pressure is also 4/5 of the one exerted by water

2a. The volume is simply the product, so $4m*3m*2m = 24m^3$

2b. Density is defined as mass over volume, so you simply multiply the volume you found earlier by the density of paraffine: $800* 24 = 1,92 *10^4kg$

2c. Weight is defined as the mass of something times the acceleration due to gravity, in our case it's $1.92 *10^4 kg * 10 ms^{-2} = 1.92 * 10^5 N$

2d. $\rho gh$ again, what a surprise! $800 {kg \over m^3} * 10 {N \over kg}} * 2 m = 1,6* 10^4 {N\over m^2} =1.6*10^4 Pa$

3. Yet again, $\rho gh$ . $1000 {kg \over m^3} * 10 {N \over kg}} * 2 m = 2* 10^4 {N\over m^2} =2*10^4 Pa$

Two identical loudspeakers, speaker 1 and speaker 2, are 2.0 m apart and are emitting 1700-hz sound waves into a room where the

Debora [2.8K]

Given the following in the problem:

Distances : 2.0 m and 4.0 m
Sound waves : 1700 hz
Speed of sound : 340 m/s

Get the wavelength of the sound by using the formula:
Lambda = speed of sound/sound waves
Lambda = 340 m/s / 1700 hz
Lambda = 0.2
Get the path length difference to the point from the two speakers
L1 = 4mL2 = sqrt (42+ 22) m
Delta = 4.47

x = delta / lambda

If the outcome is nearly an integer, the waves strengthen at the point. If it is nearly an integer +0.5 the waves interfere destructively at the point. If it is neither the point is somewhat in in the middle.

Solving x = (4.47 – 4) / (0.2) = 2.35 an integer +0.5 so it’s a point of destructive interference.

Which condition is necessary for total internal reflection? A. The refracted ray should lie along the boundary of the two media.

g100num [7]

There are two conditions necessary for total internal reflection, which is when light hits the boundary between two mediums and reflects back into its original medium:

Light is about to pass from a more optically dense medium (slower) to a less optically dense medium (faster).

The angle of incidence is greater than the defined critical angle for the two mediums, which is given by:

θ = sin⁻¹( $n_{fast}$ / $n_{slow}$ )

Where θ = critical angle, $n_{fast}$ = refractive index of faster medium, $n_{slow}$ = refractive index of slower medium.

Choice C gives one of the above necessary conditions.
