If, while standing on the bank of a stream, you wished to spear a fish swimming in the water out in front of you, would you aim

above, below, or directly at the observed fish to make a direct hit? If you decided to instead zap the fish with a laser, would you aim above, below, or directly at the observed fish? Defend your answers.

Answer:

<em>a) below the observed position</em>

<em>b) directly at the observed position</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

If I'm standing on the bank of a stream, and I wish to spear a fish swimming in the water out in front of me, I would aim below the observed fish to make a direct hit. This is because the phenomenon of refraction of light in water causes the light coming from the fish is refract away from the normal as it passes  into the air and into my eyes.

If I'm to zap the fish with a taser, I would aim directly at the observed fish because the laser (a form of concentrated light waves) will refract into the water, taking the same path the light from the fish took to get to my eyes.

How long does a player sit out of a game of handball for committing a second or third foul?
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

Walking’ - If a handball player takes more than three steps without dribbling (bouncing the ball) or holds the ball for more than 3 seconds without bouncing it, shooting or passing, then that is deemed ‘walking' and possession is lost.

'Double dribble’ - Handball players cannot receive the ball and bounce it, then hold the ball, and bounce it again. This is termed ‘double dribble’ and is against the rules.

A 30kg mass is brought from the earth to the moon what is the weight on the earth
ozzi

Answer:

Solution

verified

Verified by Toppr

Given:

Mass of body = 30 kg

gravitational acceleration on the moon = 1.62 m/s

2

Weight of the body on the moon = Mass of the body×gravitational acceleration on the moon=30×1.62=48 N

A hydrogen atom in a galaxy moving with a speed of 6.65×106 m/???? away from the Earth emits light with a wavelength of 5.13×10−
Mumz [18]

Answer:

The observed wavelength on Earth from that hydrogen atom is 5.24\times 10^{-7}\ m.

Explanation:

Given that,

The actual wavelength of the hydrogen atom, \lambda_a=5.13\times 10^{-7}\ m

A hydrogen atom in a galaxy moving with a speed of, v=6.65\times 10^6\ m/s

We need to find the observed wavelength on Earth from that hydrogen atom. The speed of galaxy is given by :

v=c\times \dfrac{\lambda_o-\lambda_a}{\lambda_a}

\lambda_o is the observed wavelength

\lambda_o=\dfrac{v\lambda_a}{c}+\lambda_a\\\\\lambda_o=\dfrac{6.65\times 10^6\times 5.13\times 10^{-7}}{3\times 10^8}+5.13\times 10^{-7}\\\\\lambda_o=5.24\times 10^{-7}\ m

So, the observed wavelength on Earth from that hydrogen atom is 5.24\times 10^{-7}\ m. Hence, this is the required solution.

A coin of mass m rests on a turntable a distance r from the axis of rotation. The turntable rotates with a frequency of f. What
Crank

Answer:

\mu = \frac{r (2\pi f)^{2}}{g}

Explanation:

N = normal force acting on the coin

Normal force in the upward direction balances the weight of the coin, hence

N = mg

f = frequency of rotation

Angular velocity of turntable is hence given as

w = 2\pi f

r = distance from the axis of rotation

\mu = minimum coefficient of static friction

static frictional force is given as

f = \mu N\\f = \mu mg

The  static frictional force provides the necessary centripetal force , hence

Centripetal force = Static frictional force

m r w^{2} = \mu mg\\r w^{2} = \mu g\\\\\mu = \frac{r w^{2}}{g} \\\mu = \frac{r (2\pi f)^{2}}{g}
