Answer:

It's an Angle of incidence that provides a 90° angle but is also refracted at the same time. it's used to find the water-air boundary (which is 48.6 degrees). in addition, its an angle of incidence value.

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

F1=177.88 Newtons

Explanation:

Let's start with the Bernoulli's equation:

$P_{1} + \frac{1}{2}\beta V_{1} ^{2} + \beta gh_{1} =P_{2} + \frac{1}{2}\beta V_{2} ^{2} + \beta gh_{2}$

Where:

P is pressure, V is Velocity, g is gravity, h is height and β is density (for water β=1000 kg/m3); at the points 1 and 2 respectively.

From the Bernoulli's equation and assuming that h is constant and P2 is zero (from the data), we have:

$P_{1} + \frac{1}{2}\beta V_{1} ^{2} = \frac{1}{2}\beta V_{2} ^{2}$

As we know, P1 must be equal to $\frac{F_{1} }{A_{1}}$ , so, replacing P1 in the equation, we have:

$P_{1} = \frac{F_{1}}{A_{1}} = \frac{1}{2}\beta(V_{2} ^{2} - V_{1} ^{2})$

And

$F_{1} = {A_{1}} ( \frac{1}{2}\beta(V_{2} ^{2} - V_{1} ^{2}))$

Now, let's find the velocity to replace the values on the expression:

We can express the flow in function of velocity and area as $Q = V A$ , where Q is flow, V is velocity and A is area. As the same, we can write this: $Q_{1} = V_{1} A_{1}\\Q_{2} = V_{2} A_{2}$ . In the last two equations, let's clear Velocities.

$V_{1} = \frac{Q_{1}}{A_{1}}\\V_{2} = \frac{Q_{2}}{A_{2}}$

and replacing V1 and V2 on the last equation resulting from Bernoulli's (the one that has the force on it):

$F_{1} = {A_{1}} ( \frac{1}{2}\beta((\frac{Q_{2}}{A_{2}})^{2} - (\frac{Q_{1}}{A_{1}})^{2}))$

First, we have to consider that from a mass balance, the flow is the same, so Q1=Q2, what changes, is the velocity. Knowing this, let's write the areas, diameters, density and flow on International Units System (S.I.), because the exercise is asking us the answer in Newtons.

$D_{1}=1.5 inches=0.0381 mts\\D_{2}=1 inches=0.0254 mts\\A_{1}=\frac{\pi D_{1}^{2} }{4}=0.00114mts^{2}\\A_{2}=\frac{\pi D_{2}^{2} }{4}=0.000507mts^{2}\\\beta=1000 kgs/m^{3}\\Q=200gpm=0.01mts^{3}/seg$

Replacing the respective values in this last expression, we obtain:

F1 = 177.88 N

Suppose these waves represent the sound of a siren on a passing ambulance. Which wave represents the sound of the siren after it

sergeinik [125]

The answer is wave B has a lower frequency. Suppose these waves represent the sound of a siren on a passing ambulance. Wave B (lower frequency) represents the sound of the siren after it has passed you. The ambulance moving towards the observer produces a higher than normal frequency, and the ambulance moving away produces a lower than normal frequency.

Suppose that a spring with a larger spring constant was used in this same apparatus. If a given mass were rotated at the same ra

malfutka [58]

Answer:

The new period of rotation using the new spring would be less than the period of rotation using the original spring

Explanation:

Generally the period of rotation of the mass is mathematically represented as

$T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{I}{k} }$

Here I is the moment of inertia of the mass about the rotation axis and k is the spring constant

Now looking at the equation we can tell that T is inversely proportional to the square root of the spring constant which means that for a larger spring constant the time period would be lesser
