A 125 W motor accelerates a block along a level, frictionless surface at an average speed of 5.0

Lelu [443]

Answer:

25N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Power of the motor = 125W

Average speed = 5m/s

Unknown:

Force supplied to the motor = ?

Solution:

Work done is the force applied to move a body through a particular distance;

Work done = Force x distance

Also,

Work done = Power x time

So;

Force x distance = Power x time

since force is the unknown;

Force = $\frac{Power x time}{distance}$

Speed = $\frac{distance }{time}$

Force = $\frac{Power}{speed}$

Now solve;

Force = $\frac{125}{5}$ = 25N

A ray of light travels from a glass-to-liquid interface at an angle of 35.0º. Indices of refraction for the glass and liquid are

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

The angle of refraction for the ray moving through the liquid is = 32.3°

Explanation:

Refractive index of liquid (n₁/n₂) = sini/sinr

∴ n₁/n₂ = sini/sinr ................ equation 1

n₁ = index of refraction for glass, n₂ = index of refraction for liquid

Where i = incident angle of the first medium, r = angle of refraction or angle in the second medium.

Since the light ray is traveling from glass - to - liquid, the first medium is glass and the second medium is liquid. and the refractive index will be that liquid with respect to glass.

using the equation,

n₁/n₂ = sini/sinr

i = 35° , n₁ = 1.52, n₂= 1.63

Making sinr the subject of the equation above,

sinr = sini/(n₁/n₂)

sinr = sin35(1.52)/1.63

sinr =0.574(1.52)/1.63

sinr = 0.535

Taking the sin inverse of both side of the equation

sin⁻¹(sinr) = sin⁻¹(0.535)

∴ r = 32.3°

The angle of refraction for the ray moving through the liquid is = 32.3°

The right option is (b). 32.3°

Which resistors in the circuit must have the same amount of charge passing through each second?

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

Option B) C and D

Explanation:

The amount of charge passing through a resistor each second corresponds to the definition of current, so the problem is asking "which resistors have the same amount of current".

Let's keep in mind that:

- When two resistors are in series (=they are connected into the same branch of the circuit), the current flowing through each resistor is the same

- When two resistors are in parallel (=they are connected into different branches), the potential difference across each resistor is the same

Looking at the previous definitions, we have to find the two resistors in the circuit that are connected in series. We see that resistors C and D are in the same branch, so they are in series: therefore, the current flowing through resistor C and D is the same.

discharge occurs when oppositely charged objects get close enough for the air between them to become electrically charged.

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

It does both. Once they get close enough the air does start to get charged, but then they eventually discharge when they touch.
