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?

For the different values given for the radius of curvature RRR and speed vvv, rank the magnitude of the force of the roller-coas
nirvana33 [79]

Explanation:

The force of the roller-coaster track on the cart at the bottom is given by :

F=\dfrac{mv^2}{R}, m is mass of roller coaster

Case 1.

R = 60 m v = 16 m/s

F=\dfrac{(16)^2m}{60}=4.26m\ N

Case 2.

R = 15 m v = 8 m/s

F=\dfrac{(8)^2m}{15}=4.26m\ N

Case 3.

R = 30 m v = 4 m/s

F=\dfrac{(4)^2m}{30}=0.54m\ N

Case 4.

R = 45 m v = 4 m/s

F=\dfrac{(4)^2m}{45}=0.36m\ N

Case 5.

R = 30 m v = 16 m/s

F=\dfrac{(16)^2m}{30}=8.54m\ N

Case 6.

R = 15 m v =12 m/s

F=\dfrac{(12)^2m}{15}=9.6m\ N

Ranking from largest to smallest is given by :

F>E>A=B>C>D

A student observes rock layers that are folded and appear to be scratched. Select all of the geologic forces that might have cau
mrs_skeptik [129]

Rock layers are folded and appear to be scratched because of the plate tectonics and the glacial advance.

Answer: Option 1 and 2.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Plate tectonics and the glacial advance are the geological phenomenon which have the power to effect the layers of the rock. Because of these, there can be scratches on the layers of the rock and the layers of the rocks can be folded.

The huge mass of ice that is included in the glacier which may be of thickness of three to four kilometers is a lot to scratch the rocks. These glaciers are responsible for moving the rocks from their original position to a new place altogether.

Calculate the ratio of the drag force on a jet flying at 1190 km/h at an altitude of 7.5 km to the drag force on a prop-driven t
Bond [772]

Answer:

\frac{D_{jet}}{D_{prop}}=2.865

Explanation:

Given data

Speed of jet Vjet=1190 km/h

Speed of prop driven Vprop=595 km/h

Height of jet 7.5 km

Height of prop driven transport 3.8 km

Density of Air at height 10 km p7.8=0.53 kg/m³

Density of air at height 3.8 km p3.8=0.74 kg/m³

The drag force is given by:

D=\frac{1}{2}CpAv^2\\

The ratio between the drag force on the jet to the drag force  on prop-driven transport is then given by:

\frac{D_{jet}}{D_{prop}}=\frac{(1/2)Cp_{7.5}Av_{jet}^2}{1/2)Cp_{3.8}Av_{prop}^2} \\\frac{D_{jet}}{D_{prop}}=\frac{p_{7.5}v_{jet}^2}{p_{3.8}v_{prop}}\\\frac{D_{jet}}{D_{prop}}=\frac{(0.53)(1190)^2}{(0.74)(595)^2}\\   \frac{D_{jet}}{D_{prop}}=2.865

Velocity of an object of mass 5 kg increases from 3 m/s to 7 m/s on applying a force continuously for 2 s. Find out the force ap
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

Force=10N

Velocity=13m/s

Explanation:

Given,

Mass = 5kg

initial velocity=3m/s

Final velocity=7m/s

Time=2s

Now acceleration= v-u/t

=7-3/2

=4/2

=2m/s²

So, acceleration=2m/s²

Now,

F=ma

=5*2

=10N
