The correct answer is letter B. less than the angle of refraction. When a beam of light passes at an oblique angle into a material of lower optical density, the angle of incidence is less than the angle of refraction. The reason for that because the beam of light passes through an oblique angle.

Mila [183]

Answer:

P = 2439.5 W = 2.439 KW

Explanation:

First, we will find the mass of the water:

Mass = (Density)(Volume)

Mass = m = (1 kg/L)(10 L)

m = 10 kg

Now, we will find the energy required to heat the water between given temperature limits:

E = mCΔT

where,

E = energy = ?

C = specific heat capacity of water = 4182 J/kg.°C

ΔT = change in temperature = 95°C - 25°C = 70°C

Therefore,

E = (10 kg)(4182 J/kg.°C)(70°C)

E = 2.927 x 10⁶ J

Now, the power required will be:

$Power = P = \frac{E}{t}$

where,

t = time = (20 min)(60 s/1 min) = 1200 s

Therefore,

$P = \frac{2.927\ x\ 10^6\ J}{1200\ s}$

P = 2439.5 W = 2.439 KW

Let v1, , vk be vectors, and suppose that a point mass of m1, , mk is located at the tip of each vector. The center of mass for

g100num [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Center of mass is give as

Xcm = (Σmi•xi) / M

Where i= 1,2,3,4.....

M = m1+m2+m3 +....

x is the position of the mass (x, y)

Now,

Given that,

u1 = (−1, 0, 2) (mass 3 kg),

m1 = 3kg and it position x1 = (-1,0,2)

u2 = (2, 1, −3) (mass 1 kg),

m2 = 1kg and it position x2 = (2,1,-3)

u3 = (0, 4, 3) (mass 2 kg),

m3 = 2kg and it position x3 = (0,4,3)

u4 = (5, 2, 0) (mass 5 kg)

m4 = 5kg and it position x4 = (5,2,0)

Now, applying center of mass formula

Xcm = (Σmi•xi) / M

Xcm = (m1•x1+m2•x2+m3•x3+m4•x4) / (m1+m2+m3+m4)

Xcm = [3(-1, 0, 2) +1(2, 1, -3)+2(0, 4, 3)+ 5(5, 2, 0)]/(3 + 1 + 2 + 5)

Xcm = [(-3, 0, 6)+(2, 1, -3)+(0, 8, 6)+(25, 10, 0)] / 11

Xcm = (-3+2+0+25, 0+1+8+10, 6-3+6+0) / 11

Xcm = (24, 19, 9) / 11

Xcm = (2.2, 1.7, 0.8) m

This is the required center of mass

During your summer internship for an aerospace company, you are asked to design a small research rocket. The rocket is to be lau

Viktor [21]

Answer:

6.75 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration = 16 m/s²

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Let y be the distance the rocket is accelerating

960-y is the distance traveled in free fall

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2as+u^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 16\times y+0^2}\\\Rightarrow v^2=32y\ m/s$

In free fall

$v^2-u^2=2g(960-y)\\\Rightarrow 0-32y=2g(960-y)\\\Rightarrow -32y=2\times -9.81(960-y)\\\Rightarrow 960-y=\dfrac{-32}{2\times -9.81}y\\\Rightarrow 960-y=1.63098878695y\\\Rightarrow 960=2.63098878695y\\\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{960}{2.63098878695}\\\Rightarrow y=364.881828749\ m$

The distance the rocket will keep accelerating is 364.881828749 m

After which it will travel 960-364.881828749 = 595.118171251 m in free fall

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 364.881828749=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 16\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{364.881828749\times 2}{16}}\\\Rightarrow t=6.75353452598\ s$

The time the rocket is accelerating is 6.75 seconds

Viewed through a spectroscope, the spectral profile of a yellow street lamp has a narrow line in the yellow region of the visibl

muminat

Answer:

discrete lines are observed by the spectroscope, the emission of the lamp is of the ATOMIC source

Explanation:

Bulbs can emit light in several ways:

* When the emission is carried out by the heating of its filament, the bulb is called incandescent, in general its spectrum is similar to that of a black body, this is a continuous spectrum with a maximum dependent on the fourth power of the temperature of the filament.

* The emission can be by atomic transitions, in this case there is a discrete spectrum formed by the spectral lines of the material that forms the gas of the lamp, in general for the yellow emission the most used materials are mercury and sodium or a mixture of they.

Consequently, as discrete lines are observed by the spectroscope, the emission of the lamp is of the ATOMIC type

How could two waves on a rope interfere so the rope does not move at all?

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

If a crest formed by one wave interferes with a trough formed by the other wave then the rope will not move at all.

Explanation:

Assume a straight rope tied to both ends is at rest. When a wave is created at one end of the rope, it travels to the other end of the rope through formation of alternative crest and trough. Due to these crest and trough the rope shifts up and down.

But when there are two waves travelling through the rope and both have opposite direction (directed towards one another) in such a way that crest formed by one wave is interfering with the trough formed by the other wave then due to this interference the waves will cancel the effects of each other on the rope and rope will be stable.
