A thin spherical glass shell in air is filled with an unknown liquid. A horizontal parallel light beam is incident on the shell

and it is observed that the light is brought to focus on the surface of the shell directly opposite of the incoming beam. What is the refractive index of the liquid?

What is the speed of a transverse wave in a rope of length 3. 1 m and mass 86 g under a tension of 380 n?
Nitella [24]

117 m/sec is the speed of a transverse wave in a rope of length 3. 1 m and mass 86 g under a tension of 380 n.

The wave speed v is given by

v= √τ/μ

​where τ is the tension in the rope and μ is the linear mass density of the rope.

The linear mass density is the mass per unit length of rope :

μ= m / L = (0.086 kg)/(3.1 m)=0.0277 kg/m.

v= \sqrt{ \frac{380 N}{0.0277 kg/m}}  = 117.125 m/sec (approx. 117 m/sec

In physics, a transverse wave is a wave whose oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of the wave's advance. This is in contrast to a longitudinal wave which travels in the direction of its oscillations. Water waves are an example of transverse wave.

Transverse waves commonly occur in elastic solids due to the shear stress generated; the oscillations in this case are the displacement of the solid particles away from their relaxed position, in directions perpendicular to the propagation of the wave. These displacements correspond to a local shear deformation of the material. Hence a transverse wave of this nature is called a shear wave. Since fluids cannot resist shear forces while at rest, propagation of transverse waves inside the bulk of fluids is not possible.

As an airplane accelerates in level flight, what parameter must the pilot adjust to keep level and balance Lift = Weight?
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

C. Angle of Attack.

Explanation:

The pilot must adjust the angle of attack parameter. The angle of attack of this plane to get to the desired lift coefficient.

And thus, we have

Lift = Weight

A truck travels up a hill with a 5.7° incline. The truck has a constant speed of 22 m/s. What is the horizontal component of the
tester [92]

Answer:

The horizontal component of the velocity is 21.9 m/s.

Explanation:

Please see the attached figure for a better understanding of the problem.

Notice that the vector v and its x and y-components (vx and vy) form a right triangle. Then, we can use trigonometry to find the magnitude of vx, the horizontal component of the velocity.

To find vx, let´s use the following trigonometric rule of right triangles:

cos α = adjacent / hypotenuse

cos 5.7° = vx / 22 m/s

22 m/s · cos 5.7° = vx

vx = 21.9 m/s

The horizontal component of the velocity is 21.9 m/s.

How much energy will be transferred to your eardrum while listening to this sound for 1.0 min?
Phoenix [80]

So E = 2x10^-3W/m^2*(π*(3.0x10^-3m)^2)*1min*60s... = 3.4x10^-6J
