The sun is 60° above the horizon. Rays from the sun strike the still surface of a pond and cast a shadow of a stick that is stuc

k in the sandy bottom of the pond. If the stick is 19 cm tall, how long is the shadow?

Answer:

shadow length 7.67 cm

Explanation:

given data:

refractive index of water is 1.33

by snell's law we have

n_{air} sin30 =n_{water} sin\theta

1*0.5 = 1.33*sin\theta

solving for\theta

sin\theta = \frac{3}{8}

\theta = sin^{-1}\frac{3}{8}

\theta =  22 degree

from shadow- stick traingle

tan(90-\theta) = cot\theta = \frac{h}{s}

s = \frac{h}{cot\theta} = h tan\theta

s = 19tan22 = 7.67 cm

s = shadow length

Entific findings are useful

That's true.  The give-away is "observation ... in the real world".  That's what "field reports" are.

The part I'm not so sure about is those "entific findings".

uniform electric field exists between two parallel plates separated by 2.0 cm. The intensity of the field is 15 kN/C. What is th
adoni [48]

Answer:

potential difference V= 300 volts

Explanation:

Given:

d= 2.0 cm = 0.02m

E = 15 kN/C = 15 × 10³ N/C

For a uniform field between two plates, the Electric Filed Intensity (E) is proportional to the potential difference (V) and inversely  proportional to distance between the plates.

E= V/d

⇒ V= E×d = 15 × 10³ N/C × 0.02 m = 300 volts  (∴1 Nm/C = 1 J/C= 1 volts)
