Complete Question

The  complete question is shown on the first uploaded image  

Answer:

A

   v_w  =  2.256 *10^{8} \  m/s

B

  v_e  =  2.21 *10^{8} \  m/s

C

The  correct option is  B  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

      The refractive  index of water is  n_w  =  1.33

      The  refractive  index of ethanol is  n_e  =  1.36

       

Generally the threshold velocity for creating Cherenkov light   from a charged particle as it travels through water is mathematically evaluated as

       v_w  =  \frac{c}{n_w }

Where  c is the speed of light with value  c =  3.0 *10^{8} \  m/s

       v_w  =  \frac{3.0 *10^{8}}{1.33 }

       v_w  =  2.256 *10^{8} \  m/s

Generally the threshold velocity for creating Cherenkov light   from a charged particle as it travels through water is mathematically evaluated as

            v_e  =  \frac{ c}{n_e }

  =>       v_e  =  \frac{3.0 *10^{8}}{1.36 }

=>          v_e  =  2.21 *10^{8} \  m/s

A dentist uses a concave mirror (focal length 2.5 cm) to examine some teeth. If the distance from the object to the mirror is 1.
AysviL [449]

Answer:

2.28

Explanation:

From mirror formula,

1/f = 1/u+1/v .......... Equation 1

Where f = focal length of the mirror, v = image distance, u = object distance.

Note: The focal length mirror is positive.

make v the subject of the equation,

v = fu/(u-f)............ Equation 2

Given: f = 2.5 cm, u = 1.4 cm

Substitute into equation 2

v = 2.5(1.4)/(1.4-2.5)

v = 3.5/-1.1

v = -3.2 cm.

Note: v is negative because it is a virtual image.

But,

Magnification = image distance/object distance

M = v/u

Where M = magnification.

Given: v = 3.2 cm, u = 1.4 cm

M = 3.2/1.4

M = 2.28.

Thus the magnification of the tooth = 2.28.

You build a grandfather clock, whose timing is based on a pendulum. You measure its period to be 2s on Earth. You then travel wi
Elenna [48]

Answer:

\frac{g_{2}}{g_{1}} = \frac{1}{4}

Explanation:

The period of the simple pendulum is:

T = 2\pi\cdot \sqrt{\frac{l}{g} }

Where:

l - Cord length, in m.

g - Gravity constant, in \frac{m}{s^{2}}.

Given that the same pendulum is test on each planet, the following relation is formed:

T_{1}^{2}\cdot g_{1} = T_{2}^{2}\cdot g_{2}

The ratio of the gravitational constant on planet CornTeen to the gravitational constant on planet Earth is:

\frac{g_{2}}{g_{1}} = \left(\frac{T_{1}}{T_{2}} \right)^{2}

\frac{g_{2}}{g_{1}} = \left(\frac{2\,s}{4\,s} \right)^{2}

\frac{g_{2}}{g_{1}} = \frac{1}{4}
