To hide their loot, thieves put the 1.20 kg gold that they had robbed into a small box and threw it in a lake. The mass of the e

mpty box was 400 grams, and the dimension 12cm3 . When the box is closed with the gold inside it, it is well seated so that water dont enter it. To their surprise, the box floated on the water. Calculate the distance from the bottom of the box to the water level (i.e. how many cm is it inside the water?)
Density: water = 1 g/cm3 = 100 kg/m3 ----------- Gold = 19.3 g/cm3 19,300 kg/m3

Answer:

11.1 cm

Explanation:

Let d be the depth upto which box dipped into water.

Volume of water displaced

.12\times .12\times d m^3\\

=.0144d

Weight of water displaced = upthrust

=.0144d\times 10^3\times g\\    [ density of water is 1000kg /m³]

=14.4dg This will act upwards.

Total downward force = 1.2 +.4 = 1.6 g

For equilibrium

1.6g = 14.4 gd

d = .111 m

=11.1 cm.

A transparent oil with index of refraction 1.28 spills on the surface of water (index of refraction 1.33), producing a maximum o
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

The thickness of the oil slick is 1.95\times10^{-7}\ m

Explanation:

Given that,

Index of refraction = 1.28

Wave length = 500 nm

Order m = 1

We need to calculate the thickness of oil slick

Using formula of thickness

2nt= m\lambda

Where, n = Index of refraction

t = thickness

\lambda = wavelength

Put the value into the formula

2\times1.28 \times t=1\times\times500\times10^{-9}

t = \dfrac{1\times\times500\times10^{-9}}{2\times1.28 }

t=1.95\times10^{-7}\ m

Hence, The thickness of the oil slick is 1.95\times10^{-7}\ m

An electromagnetic wave has a wavelength of 1.3m what is the frequency of wave
larisa86 [58]
V = f * wavelength
as we know electromagnetic wave has speed equal to light, so

3 * 10^8 = f * 1.3
f = 2.3 * 10^8 hertz
f = 230 mega hertz

Catalytic ozone destruction occurs in the stratosphere by a two-step reaction:
Sladkaya [172]
Catalytic ozone destruction occurs in the stratosphere where the reactions involving bromine, chlorine, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen gases form compounds that destroy the ozone layer. The reactions uses a catalyst (speeds up the reaction) in a two step reaction. considering chlorine the reactions appears as follows;
step 1
 Cl + O3 = ClO + O2 
 step 2
ClO + O = Cl + O2 
Where by chlorine is released to destroy the ozone layer, this takes place many times even with the other elements (hydrogen, bromine, nitrogen) and the end result is a completely destroyed Ozone layer
