A container is filled with water to a depth of 26.2 cm. On top of the water floats a 16.1 cm thick layer of oil with a density of

0.85 × 103 kg/m3. The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s2 . a) What is the pressure at the surface of the water? Answer in units of Pa.

Answer:

1.34 x 10^3 Pa

Explanation:

density of oil = 0.85 x 10^3 kg/m^3

g = 9.81 m/s^2

height of oil column = 16.1 cm = 0.161 m

Pressure on the surface of water = height of oil column x density of oil x g

                                                      = 0.161 x 0.85 x 10^3 x 9.81 = 1.34 x 10^3 Pa

Thus, the pressure on the surface of water is 1.34 x 10^3 Pa.

NemiM [27]

Answer:

- the coating’s index of refraction is 1.25

- the required thickness is 104.1667 nm

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Thickness of coating t = 100 nm

wavelength λ = 500nm

we know that refractive index is;

t = λ/4n

make n, the subject of formula

t4n = λ

n = λ / 4t

we substitute

n = 500 / ( 4 × 100 )

n = 500 / 400

n = 1.25

Therefore, the coating’s index of refraction is 1.25

2)

given that;

Index of refraction of the coating; n = 1.20

λ = 500 nm

thickness of coating t = ?

t = λ / 4n

we substitute

t = 500 / ( 4 × 1.2 )

t = 500 / 4.8

t = 104.1667 nm

Therefore, the required thickness is 104.1667 nm

Explain why stellar parallax cannot be used to measure the distance to other galaxies.
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

1. a) Astronomers use the parallax method to measure the distance to nearby stars, but

we can’t use it to measure the distance to stars in other galaxies. Why not? Why isn’t the

parallax method useful for measuring the distances to stars in other galaxies?

They are so distant that the parallax is too small to be measured since parallax varies

inversely with distance.

b) Instead of the parallax method, we use the standard candle method to measure the

distance to stars in other galaxies. In particular, we use the standard candle method to

measure the distances to Cepheid variable stars in other galaxies. What is special about

Cepheid variable stars that makes them useful for this purpose?

We can figure out their luminosities from their periods of variation. Then if we measure

their fluxes we can calculate their distances.

2. a) From what were the protons and electrons in your body made, and roughly when

were they made?

They were made from energy (or gamma rays) very soon after the big bang (in the first

second). 400,000 years later they got together to make hydrogen atoms.

b) From what were the carbon atoms in your body made, and where were they made?

They were not made in the big bang. They were made much later inside of stars or in

supernovae. They were made by fusion from lighter atoms.

3. Make two sketches of the Milky Way Galaxy, one an edge-on view and one a face-on

view, labeling the various parts of the galaxy.

A teacher wants to demonstrate that the radioactive source emits alpha beta and gamma radiation. Describe a method the teacher c
Mila [183]

By using an electric field, it is feasible to differentiate between these different forms of radiation.

<h3>What is a radioactive source?</h3>

A source that emits radiation like gamma, beta, and alpha rays is said to be radioactive. Using an electric field, we can discriminate between these different forms of radiation.

The field does not deflate the gamma rays, but it does deflate the alpha and beta rays, with the alpha being deflated to the field's negative portion and the beta to its positive part.

Hence, by using an electric field, it is feasible to differentiate between these different forms of radiation.

To learn more about the radioactive source refer;
