Answer:

The speed of the light through that liquid is $v=1.95\times 10^8\ m/s$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

The refractive index of the liquid, $\mu=1.5323$

We need to find the speed of light through that liquid. Let the speed of light in liquid is v. The relation between the refractive index and the speed of light in the medium. So,

$\mu=\dfrac{c}{v}$

$v=\dfrac{c}{\mu}$

$v=\dfrac{3\times 10^8\ m/s}{1.5323}$

$v=1.95\times 10^8\ m/s$

So, the speed of the light through that liquid is $v=1.95\times 10^8\ m/s$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

Practice entering numbers that include a power of 10 by entering the diameter of a hydrogen atom in its ground state, dH = 1.06

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

$1.06085\times 10^{-10}\ m$

Explanation:

h = Planck's constant = $6.626\times 10^{-34}\ m^2kg/s$

m = Mass of electron = $9.11\times 10^{-31}\ kg$

k = Coulomb constant = $8.99\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2$

e = Charge of electron = $1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

n = 1 (ground state)

Angular momentum is given by

$L=mvr$

From Bohr's atomic model we have

$L=\dfrac{nh}{2\pi}$

$mvr=\dfrac{nh}{2\pi}\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{nh}{2\pi mr}$

The centripetal force will balance the electrostatic force

$\dfrac{ke^2}{r^2}=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{ke^2}{r}=mv^2\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{ke^2}{r}=m(\dfrac{nh}{2\pi mr})^2\\\Rightarrow r=\dfrac{n^2h^2}{4\pi^2mke^2}\\\Rightarrow r=\dfrac{1^2\times (6.626\times 10^{-34})^2}{4\pi^2 \times 9.11\times 10^{-31}\times 8.99\times 10^{9}\times (1.6\times 10^{-19})^2}\\\Rightarrow r=5.30426\times 10^{-11}\ m$

The diameter is $2\times 5.30426\times 10^{-11}=1.06085\times 10^{-10}\ m$

The Steamboat Geyser in Yellowstone National Park shoots water into the air at 48.0 m/s. How

qwelly [4]

Answer:

The maximum height reached by the water is 117.55 m.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the water, u = 48 m/s

at maximum height the final velocity will be zero, v = 0

the water is going upwards, i.e in the negative direction of gravity, g = -9.8 m/s².

The maximum height reached by the water is calculated as follows;

v² = u² + 2gh

where;

h is the maximum height reached by the water

0 = u² + 2gh

0 = (48)² + ( 2 x -9.8 x h)

0 = 2304 - 19.6h

19.6h = 2304

h = 2304 / 19.6

h = 117.55 m

Therefore, the maximum height reached by the water is 117.55 m.

After being struck by a bowling ball, a 1.3 kg bowling pin sliding to the right at 5.0 m/s collides head-on with another 1.3 kg

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

a) 4.2m/s

b) 5.0m/s

Explanation:

This problem is solved using the principle of conservation of linear momentum which states that in a closed system of colliding bodies, the sum of the total momenta before collision is equal to the sum of the total momenta after collision.

The problem is also an illustration of elastic collision where there is no loss in kinetic energy.

Equation (1) is a mathematical representation of the the principle of conservation of linear momentum for two colliding bodies of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ whose respective velocities before collision are $u_1$ and $u_2$ ;

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2..............(1)$

where $v_1$ and $v_2$ are their respective velocities after collision.

Given;

$m_1=1.3kg\\u_1=5m/s\\m_2=1.3kg\\u_2=0m/s$

Note that $u_2$ =0 because the second mass $m_2$ was at rest before the collision.

Also, since the two masses are equal, we can say that $m_1=m_2=m$ so that equation (1) is reduced as follows;

$mu_1+mu_2=mv_1+mv_2\\\\m(u_1+u_2)=m(v_1+v_2)..............(2)$

m cancels out of both sides of equation (2), and we obtain the following;

$u_1+u_2=v_1+v_2.............(3)$

a) When $v_1=0.8m/s$ , we obtain the following by equation(3)

$5+0=0.8+v_2\\hence\\v_2=5-0.8\\v_2=4.2m/s$

b) As $m_1$ stops moving $v_1=0$ , therefore,

$5+0=0+v_2\\v_2=5m/s$

During the execution of a play, a football player carries the ball for a distance of 33 m in the direction 58° north of east. To

podryga [215]

Answer:28 m

Explanation:

Given

Direction is $58^{\circ}$ North of east i.e. $58 ^{\circ}$ with x axis

Also ball moved by 33 m

therefore its east component is 33cos58=17.48 m

Northward component $=33sin58=27.98 m\approx 28 m$

What force is required to accelerated a body with a mass of 15 kilograms at a rate of 8 m/s2

rjkz [21]

Force = (mass) · (acceleration)

= (15 kg) · (8 m/s²)

= 120 kg-m/s² = 120 newtons
