Answer:

Liquid's index of refraction, n₁ = 1.27

Explanation:

It is given that,

The critical angle for a liquid in air is, $\theta_c=52^o$

We have to find the refractive index of the liquid. Critical angle of a liquid is defined as the angle of incidence in denser medium for which the angle of refraction is 90°.

Using Snell's law as :

$n_1sin\theta_c=n_2sin\theta_2$

Here, $\theta_2=90$

$sin\theta_c=\dfrac{n_2}{n_1}$

Where

n₂ = Refractive index of air = 1

n₁ = refractive index of liquid

So,

$n_1=\dfrac{n_2}{sin\theta_c}$

$n_1=\dfrac{1}{sin(52)}$

n₁ = 1.269

or n₁ = 1.27

Hence, the refractive index of liquid is 1.27

Answer:

maximum possible temperature is 34.088°C

Explanation:

Given data

power output Q = 37 kW

volume flow rate = 11 x 10^-5 m3/s

temperature t = 14°C

to find out

maximum possible temperature T

solution

we can say

total water volume = 4 residents × volume flow

total water volume = 4 × 11 x 10^-5 = 44 × 10^-5 m³/s

so we say total water mass = 1000 × volume

total water mass = 1000 kg/m³ × 44 × 10^-5

total water mass = 0.44 kg

we know

dQ/dt = (dm/dt)× (S)× ( T - t)

so here we know specific heat of water S = 4.186 joule/gram °C

37 = 0.44 × 4.186 × (T-14)

T = 34.088°C

maximum possible temperature is 34.088°C

You toss a racquetball directly upward and then catch it at the same height you released it 1.82 s later. assume air resistance

Anton [14]

Neglecting air resistance, the acceleration of the ball is
the acceleration of gravity ... 9.8 m/s² downward.

It doesn't matter what you toss, what it's mass is, what it weighs,
what color it is, how much it cost, what its shape or size is, how
fast you toss it, in what direction, or how long it's in the air.

Its horizontal acceleration is zero and its vertical acceleration
is 9.8 m/s² downward, from the moment it leaves your hand
until the moment somebody catches it or it hits the ground.

A vector has a component of 10 m in the x-direction, a component of 10 m in the y-direction, and a component of 5 m in the z dir

Kobotan [32]

The magnitude of this vector is 15

A vector is a quantity or phenomenon that has two independent properties: magnitude and direction. The term also denotes the mathematical or geometrical representation of such a quantity. Examples of vectors in nature are velocity, momentum, force, electromagnetic fields, and weight.

The magnitude of a vector formula is used to calculate the length for a given vector (say v) and is denoted as |v|. So basically, this quantity is the length between the initial point and endpoint of the vector.

Let vector be = a

component of vector in x direction = 10 i

component of vector in y direction = 10 j

component of vector in z direction = 5 z

vector a = 10 i + 10 j + 5 z

magnitude of vector a = |a| = $\sqrt{10^{2} +10^{2} + 5^{2} }$
