8 0

Factor it.

( x+2)(x+2) = 0

x = -2

there is only one unique value of x

Consider a 4-m-long, 4-m-wide, and 1.5-m-high above-the-ground swimming pool that is filled with water to the rim. (a) Determine

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

44100 N

Explanation:

Each wall will have dimension of 4 m x 1.5 m

Whole force will act on central point of wall situated at a depth of 1.5 /2 = .75m

pressure at CM = h d g , h = .75 , d ( density of water = 10³ )

pressure at CM = .75 x 10³ x 9.8

= 7350 N / m²

Total force on each wall

= pressure x area

= 7350 x 4 x 1.5

= 44100 N Ans

b ) If h = 1.5 x 2 = 3

Pressure = hdg

1.5 x 10³ x 9.8

= 14700 N / m²

Force

= pressure x area

14700 x 3 x 4

= 176400 N

Which is 4 times 44100 N

So force will quadruple.

It is so because both area and height have become twice.

When a wave hits a boundary, what determines how much is reflected and refracted?

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

Angle and speed of wave

Explanation:

The two phenomena involved here are:

- Reflection: reflection occurs when a light wave bounces off the interface between two mediums, returning into the first medium, at a different angle

- Refraction: refraction occurs when a light wave passes through the interface between the two mediums, passing into the second medium, changing direction and speed

The coefficient of reflection tells what is the fraction of the wave that is reflected over the total; it is calculated as

$R=|\frac{n_1 cos \theta_1 - n_2 cos \theta_2}{n_1 cos \theta_1 + n_2 cos \theta_2}|^2$

where

$n_1, n_2$ are the index of refraction of the 1st and 2nd medium

$\theta_1, \theta_2$ are the angle between the ray of light and the normal to the interface in the 1st and 2nd medium

From the formula, we see that the % of wave that is reflected depends on the angle and the index of refraction. Moreover, the index of refraction is related to the speed of the wave by:

$n=\frac{c}{v}$

where c is the speed of light in a vacuum and v the speed of light in the medium; therefore, the correct answer is

Angle and speed of wave

How is velocity affected when balanced forces act on an object?

MrRissso [65]

When the forces acting on a body are balanced, their effect
\on the body's motion is the same as if no forces at all are
acting on it, and its velocity can't change. It continues moving
in a straight line at constant speed (which may be zero).
