<span>To begin, the mouse walks from 5 to 12 cm, for a displacement of 7 cm. Next, it walks 8 cm in the opposite direction, for a total displacement of (7 + [-8]) or (-1) cm. This leaves the mouse on 4 cm, and then it walks from there to the 7cm location, for a displacement of 7-4 or +3 cm. Adding 3cm to -1cm gives a final displacement of +2cm.</span>

The critical angle for a certain air-liquid surface is 47.7°. What is the index of refraction of the liquid? Round to the neares
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

The index of refraction of the liquid is 1.35.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Critical angle for a certain air-liquid surface, \theta_1=47.7^{\circ}

Let n₁ is the refractive index of liquid and n₂ is the refractive index of air, n₂ =1

Using Snell's law for air liquid interface as :

n_1\ sin\theta_1=n_2\ sin(90)

n_1\ sin(47.7)=1

n_1=\dfrac{1}{sin(47.7)}

n_1=1.35

So, the index of refraction of the liquid is 1.35. Hence, this is the required solution.

Which option below correctly compares the average annual dose of background radiation to the dose liked to an increased cancer r
julia-pushkina [17]
The answer for this question would be choice "<span>B. The average annual dose of background radiation is 250 times smaller than the dose linked to increased cancer risk."

You only have to compare 4.0 x 10^-4 and 1.0 x 10^-1. And if you can observe carefully, when you try to multiply the average annual dose of background radiation by 250, you would get 0.1 which is equivalent to the amount of annual dose linked to increased cancer risk. Therefore, the answer is B.</span>

A negative charge of - 8.0 x 10^-6 C exerts an attractive force of 12 N on a second charge that is
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

<h2>Magnitude of the second charge is -4.17*10^{-7}C</h2>

Explanation:

According to columbs law;

F = kq1q2/r^{2}

F is the attractive or repulsive force between the charges = 12N

q1 and q2 are the charges

let q1 = - 8.0 x 10^-6 C

q2=?

r is the distance between the charges = 0.050m

k is the coulumbs constant =9*10⁹ kg⋅m³⋅s⁻⁴⋅A⁻²

On substituting the given values

12 = 9*10⁹*( - 8.0 x 10^-6)q2/0.050²

Cross multiplying

0.03=9*10^{9}*  -8.0*10^{-6} q2\\0.03 = -72*10^{3} q2\\q2 = \frac{0.03}{ -72*10^{3}} \\q2 = -4.17*10^{-7}C
