If the Sun suddenly turned off, we would not know it until its light stopped coming. How long would that be, given that the Sun

is 1.50x10'' m away?

Answer:

8.33 minutes

Explanation:

First let us find out how much time it takes for the light for the sun to reach the earth

Distance between Earth and Sun is 1.5×10¹¹ m

Speed of light = 3×10⁸ m/s

\text{Time taken}=\frac{1.5\times 10^{11}}{3\times 10^8}\\\Rightarrow \text{Time taken}=500\ seconds

Converting to minutes

500\ seconds=\frac{500}{60}=8.33\ minutes

So, it takes 8.33 minutes for the light from the sun to reach Earth.

This means that we would be receiving light for 8.33 minutes after the Sun turned off.

Test populations are studied. Population one is found to obey the differential equation dy1/da=o.2y1 and the population two obey
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

Population 1 indicates growth while Population 2 indicates a declining population

Explanation:

Here, using the given rate of change of the population, we want to determine which of the two is growing and which is declining

From the rate of change of both, we can determine this. Looking at the differential equation for the first one, we can see that it is of positive value. Looking at the differential equation for the second one. we can see it is of negative value

While a positive change rate indicates growth, a negative change rate will indicate otherwise

Hence, we can conclude that the one with a negative rate change will indicate a declining population

The critical angle for a liquid in air is 520, What is the liquid's index of refraction? 0.62 0.79 1.27 1.50
sammy [17]

Answer:

Liquid's index of refraction, n₁ = 1.27

Explanation:

It is given that,

The critical angle for a liquid in air is, \theta_c=52^o

We have to find the refractive index of the liquid. Critical angle of a liquid is defined as the angle of incidence in denser medium for which the angle of refraction is 90°.

Using Snell's law as :

n_1sin\theta_c=n_2sin\theta_2

Here, \theta_2=90

sin\theta_c=\dfrac{n_2}{n_1}

Where

n₂ = Refractive index of air = 1

n₁ = refractive index of liquid

So,

n_1=\dfrac{n_2}{sin\theta_c}

n_1=\dfrac{1}{sin(52)}

n₁ = 1.269

or n₁ = 1.27

Hence, the refractive index of liquid is 1.27

You’re squeezing a springy rubber ball in your hand. If you push inward on it with a force of 1 N, it dents inward 2 mm. How far
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

10mm

Explanation:

According to Hooke's law which states that "the extension of an elastic material is directly proportional to the applied force provided the elastic limit is not exceeded. Direct proportionality there means, increase/decrease in the force leads to increase/decrease in extension.

Mathematically, F = ke where;

F is the applied force

k is the elastic constant

e is the extension

from the formula k = F/e

k = F1/e1 = F2/e2

Given force of 1N indents the spring inwards by 2mm, this means force of 1N generates extension of 2mm

Let F1 = 1N e1 = 2mm

The extension that will be produced If force of 5N is applied to the string is what we are looking for. Therefore F2 = 5N; e2= ?

Substituting this values in the formula above we have

1/2=5/e2

Cross multiplying;

e2 = 10mm

This shows that we must have dent it by 10mm before it pushes outwards by a 5N force
