If the oil thickness is 200 nm and the index is 1.5, what (vacuum) wavelength (in nm) does a diver see looking at the same posit

ion as the scientist, but from under water?

Answer: 133.33nm

Explanation: refractive index, n = real depth/apparent depth

Oil thickness= real depth = 200nm

Wavelength from under the water = apparent depth = a

n = real depth/a

1.5 = 200/ a

a = 200/ 1.5

a = 133.33nm

What is the downward pull on an object due to gravity?

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

force of gravity

Explanation:

The force of gravity is that which draws the bodies towards the surface of the Earth.

The force of gravity brakes the objects that move up and accelerates those that move down. It causes a parabolic movement in what we throw upwards,

Based on the following equation, answer the questions below. ρ = (2γϕ + ψ)/rg where ρ [=] moles per cubic foot [mol/ft3] γ [=] j

AlekseyPX

1) Fundamental units of $\Psi$ are $[\frac{mol}{m\cdot s^2}]$

2) Fundamental units of $\Phi$ are $[\frac{mol}{m^3}]$

Explanation:

The equation for the variable $\rho$ is

$\rho =\frac{2\gamma \Phi+\Psi}{rg}$

where we have:

$\rho$ measured in $[\frac{mol}{ft^3}]$

$\gamma$ measured in $[\frac{J}{kg}]$

$r$ measured in $[in]$

$g$ measured in $[\frac{m}{s^2}]$

We can re-write the equation as

$\rho rg = 2\gamma \Phi + \Psi$

And we notice that the units of the term on the left must be equal to the units of the term on the right.

This means that:

1) First of all, $\Psi$ must have the same units of $\rho r g$ . So,

$[\rho r g]=[\frac{mol}{ft^3}][in][\frac{m}{s^2}]$

However, both ft (feet) and in (inches) are not fundamental dimensions: this means that they can be expressed as meters. Therefore, the fundamental units of $\Psi$ are

$[\Psi]=[\frac{mol}{m^3}][m][\frac{m}{s^2}]=[\frac{mol}{m\cdot s^2}]$

2)

The term $2\gamma \Phi$ must have the same units of $\Psi$ in order to be added to it. Therefore,

$[\gamma \Phi] = [\frac{mol}{m\cdot s^2}]$

We also know that the units of $\gamma$ are $[\frac{J}{kg}]$ , therefore

$[\frac{J}{kg}][\Phi]= [\frac{mol}{m\cdot s^2}]$

And so, the fundamental units of $\Phi$ are

$[\Phi]= [\frac{mol\cdot kg}{J\cdot m\cdot s^2}]$

However, the Joules can be written as

$[J]=[kg][\frac{m^2}{s^2}]$

Therefore

$[\Phi]= [\frac{mol\cdot kg}{(kg \frac{m^2}{s^2})\cdot m\cdot s^2}]=[\Phi]= [\frac{mol}{m^3}]$

a vector has an x-component of 19.5m and a y-component of 28.4m. Find the magnitude and direction of the vector

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

magnitude=34.45 m

direction= $55.52\°$

Explanation:

Assuming the initial point P1 of this vector is at the origin:

P1=(X1,Y1)=(0,0)

And knowing the other point is P2=(X2,Y2)=(19.5,28.4)

We can find the magnitude and direction of this vector, taking into account a vector has a initial and a final point, with an x-component and a y-component.

For the magnitude we will use the formula to calculate the distance $d$ between two points:

$d=\sqrt{{(Y2-Y1)}^{2} +{(X2-X1)}^{2}}$ (1)

$d=\sqrt{{(28.4 m - 0 m)}^{2} +{(19.5 m - 0m)}^{2}}$ (2)

$d=\sqrt{1186.81 m^{2}}$ (3)

$d=34.45 m$ (4) This is the magnitude of the vector

For the direction, which is the measure of the angle the vector makes with a horizontal line, we will use the following formula:

$tan \theta=\frac{Y2-Y1}{X2-X1}$ (5)

$tan \theta=\frac{24.8 m - 0m}{19.5 m - 0m}$ (6)

$tan \theta=\frac{24.8}{19.5}$ (7)

Finding $\theta$ :

$\theta= tan^{-1}(\frac{24.8}{19.5})$ (8)

$\theta= 55.52\°$ (9) This is the direction of the vector
