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

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

Explanation:

The process is isothermic,  as P V = constant .

work done = 2.303 n RT log P₁ / P₂

= 2.303 x 5 / 29 x 8.3 x 303  log 2 / 1 kJ

= 300.5k J

This energy in work done by the gas will come fro heat supplied as internal energy is constant due to constant temperature.

heat supplied  = 300.5k J

specific volume is volume per unit mass

v / m

pv = n RT

pv  = m / M  RT

v / m = RT / p M

specific volume = RT / p M

option B is correct.

The average density of the body of a fish is 1080 kg/m3. To keep from sinking, the fish increases its volumeby inflating an inte
Dimas [21]

Answer:

f = 8 %

Explanation:

given,

density of body of fish = 1080 kg/m³

density of air = 1.2 Kg/m³

density of water = 1000 kg/m²

to protect the fish from sinking volume should increased by the factor f

density of fish + density of water x increase factor = volume changes in water                                                    

1080 +f x 1.2 =(1 + f ) x 1000                

1080 + f x 1.2 = 1000 + 1000 f      

998.8 f = 80                                  

f = 0.0800                            

f = 8 %                                        

the volume increase factor of fish will be equal to f = 8 %

a vector has an x-component of 19.5m and a y-component of 28.4m. Find the magnitude and direction of the vector
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

magnitude=34.45 m

direction=55.52\°

Explanation:

Assuming the initial point P1 of this vector is at the origin:

P1=(X1,Y1)=(0,0)

And knowing the other point is P2=(X2,Y2)=(19.5,28.4)

We can find the magnitude and direction of this vector, taking into account a vector has a initial and a final point, with an x-component and a y-component.

For the magnitude we will use the formula to calculate the distance d between two points:

d=\sqrt{{(Y2-Y1)}^{2} +{(X2-X1)}^{2}} (1)

d=\sqrt{{(28.4 m - 0 m)}^{2} +{(19.5 m - 0m)}^{2}} (2)

d=\sqrt{1186.81 m^{2}} (3)

d=34.45 m (4) This is the magnitude of the vector

For the direction, which is the measure of the angle the vector makes with a horizontal line, we will use the following formula:

tan \theta=\frac{Y2-Y1}{X2-X1}  (5)

tan \theta=\frac{24.8 m - 0m}{19.5 m - 0m}  (6)

tan \theta=\frac{24.8}{19.5}  (7)

Finding \theta:

\theta= tan^{-1}(\frac{24.8}{19.5})  (8)

\theta= 55.52\°  (9) This is the direction of the vector

What is the difference between an object’s speed and its acceleration? NO LINKS
Arisa [49]

Answer: Hello! An objects speed is constant and has the units meters per second (m/s); thus, it does not change overtime. Acceleration is a rate of change where the speed does either increase or decrease overtime from its inital value; its units are meters per second second (m/s/s). I hope that helps!
