A layer of oil (n = 1.38) floats on an unknown liquid. A ray of light originates in the oil and passes into the unknown liquid.

The angle of incidence is 65.0°, and the angle of refraction is 53.0°. What is the index of refraction of the unknown liquid?

Answer:

Refractive index of unknown liquid = 1.56

Explanation:

Using Snell's law as:

n_i\times {sin\theta_i}={n_r}\times{sin\theta_r}

Where,  

{\theta_i}  is the angle of incidence  ( 65.0° )

{\theta_r} is the angle of refraction  ( 53.0° )

{n_r} is the refractive index of the refraction medium  (unknown liquid, n=?)

{n_i} is the refractive index of the incidence medium (oil, n=1.38)

Hence,  

1.38\times {sin65.0^0}={n_r}\times{sin53.0^0}

Solving for {n_r},

Refractive index of unknown liquid = 1.56

How much power is needed to lift the 200-N object to a height of 4 m in 4 s?
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer: 2000 watts

Explanation:

Given that,

power = ?

Weight of object = 200-N

height = 4 m

Time = 4 s

Power is the rate of work done per unit time i.e Power is simply obtained by dividing work by time. Its unit is watts.

i.e Power = work / time

(since work = force x distance, and weight is the force acting on the object due to gravity)

Then, Power = (weight x distance) / time

Power = (200N x 4m) / 4s

Power = 8000Nm / 4s

Power = 2000 watts

Thus, 2000 watts of power is needed to lift the object.

a hippopotamus produces a pressure of 250000 pa when it is standing on all four feet if the weight of the hippo is 40000 N what
mamaluj [8]

0.04m²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Pressure = 250000Pa

Weight = 40000N

Unknown:

Area of each foot = ?

Solution:

Pressure is the force exerted per unit area of a body

  Pressure = \frac{force}{area}

To find the area;

        Area = \frac{force }{pressure}

    Area = \frac{40000}{250000} = 0.16m²

The force exerted by all the four feet is 0.16m²

the area of each feet = \frac{0.16}{4} = 0.04m²

If you are driving 80 km/h along a straight road and you look to the side for 2.1 s , how far do you travel during this inattent
ella [17]
Velocity = displacement / time

First, Always make sure that your units for things are the same. In this question, we are given time in seconds and hours. So, we need to make them all use 1 unit.

I will do seconds.

To convert 80km/h to m/s, divide by 3.6.

22.2222…. m/s = displacement / 2.1s

Multiply by 2.1s on both sides

46.6666……m = displacement

You travelled 47 meters.

Calculate the applied force to the piston with a 12cm radius required to elevate a weight of 2.0X104N by the piston with a 36cm
Alex

Answer:

Option D is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Refer the figure given.

By Pascal's principle we have

            \frac{F_1}{A_1}=\frac{F_2}{A_2}

F2 = 2 x 10⁴ N

A_1=\frac{\pi\times (12\times 10^{-3})^2}{4}=1.13\times 10^{-4}m^2\\\\A_2=\frac{\pi\times (36\times 10^{-3})^2}{4}=1.02\times 10^{-3}m^2

Substituting

      \frac{F_1}{1.13\times 10^{-4}}=\frac{2\times 10^4}{1.02\times 10^{-3}}\\\\F_1=2.22\times 10^3N

Option D is the correct answer.
