Problem 3) Bob stands at the edge of the swimming pool holding a laser 1.5m above the ground. He shines the red laser beam onto

the surface of the water that is 3.0m from the edge of the pool. Determine the distance, d, where the light hits the bottom of the pool if the pool is 2.5m deep

Answer:

d = 5.75m

Explanation:

Using snell's law, we have,

n₁ × sin(i) = n₂ × 2 × sin(r)

n1= refractive index of 1st medium= 1

n2=  refractive index of 2nd medium = 1.33

r= angle of reflection

therefore,

r = \sin^{-1}\frac{n_1\sin i}{n_2}

Here,

i = 90 - θ

\theta = \tan^-^1(\frac{1.5}{3} )\\\\=26.56^\circ

r = \sin^{-1}\frac{n_1\sin i}{n_2}

r = \sin^{-1}\frac{(1)\sin (90-26.56)}{1.33}\\\\r = 42.26m

\tan r = \frac{2.5}{d_1}

d_1 = \frac{2.5}{\tan (42.26)} \\\\d_1 = 2.75m

Therefore, the distance is

d = 3 + d₁

d = 3 + 2.75

d = 5.75m

An object of irregular shape has a characteristic length of L = 0.5 m and is maintained at a uniform surface temperature of Ts =
goblinko [34]

Answer:

The value of the average convection coefficient is 20 W/Km².

Explanation:

Given that,

For first object,

Characteristic length = 0.5 m

Surface temperature = 400 K

Atmospheric temperature = 300 K

Velocity = 25 m/s

Air velocity = 5 m/s

Characteristic length of second object = 2.5 m

We have same shape and density of both objects so the reynold number will be same,

We need to calculate the value of the average convection coefficient

Using formula of  reynold number for both objects

R_{1}=R_{2}

\dfrac{u_{1}L_{1}}{\eta_{1}}=\dfrac{u_{2}L_{2}}{\eta_{2}}

\dfrac{h_{1}L_{1}}{k_{1}}=\dfrac{h_{2}L_{2}}{k_{2}}

Here, k_{1}=k_{2}

h_{2}=h_{1}\times\dfrac{L_{1}}{L_{2}}

h_{2}=\dfrac{q}{T_{2}-T_{1}}\times\dfrac{L_{1}}{L_{2}}

Put the value into the formula

h_{2}=\dfrac{10000}{400-300}\times\dfrac{0.5}{2.5}

h_{2}=20\ W/Km^2

Hence, The value of the average convection coefficient is 20 W/Km².

A capacitor of capacitance C has charge Q and stored energy is U if the charge is increased to 2Q then energy will be A)4U B)2U
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

2u

Explanation:

2u

W = Vq

q = CV

W = V.CV

W = CV²

W/C = V²

V = √(W/C)

√(W1/C1) = √(W2/C2)

√(u/c) = √(x/2c)

x = 2u

What is special about nitrogen, and what is its main function in the atmosphere
Vlad [161]
Nitrogen is the most abundant of the gases present in the atmosphere. 78 percent of the atmospheric air comprises of nitrogen, oxygen makes up for 21 percent and all other gases make up for the remaining one percent. Oxygen is a highly flammable gas and in the absence of nitrogen it would not have been possible to utilize this atmospheric oxygen, hence the presence of nitrogen reduces its flammability and also neutralizes the toxicity of other gases.
