Answer:

13.6 cm

Explanation:

From Snell's law:

n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

In the air, n₁ = 1, and light from the horizon forms a 90° angle with the vertical, so sin θ₁ = sin 90° = 1.

Given n₂ = 4/3:

1 = 4/3 sin θ

sin θ = 3/4

If x is the radius of the circle, then sin θ is:

sin θ = x / √(x² + 12²)

sin θ = x / √(x² + 144)

Substituting:

3/4 = x / √(x² + 144)

9/16 = x² / (x² + 144)

9/16 x² + 81 = x²

81 = 7/16 x²

x ≈ 13.6

A skydiver jumps from an airplane that is moving at 50 meters per second at a height of 1,000 meters what describes the skydiver
kkurt [141]

Answer:

11060M  Joules, where M is the mass of the diver in kg

Explanation:

Mass of the skydiver missing, we're assuming it's M.

It's total energy is the sum of the contribution of his kinetic energy (K)- since he's moving at 50 m/s, and it's potential energy (U), since he's subject to earth gravity.

Energy is the sum of the two, so E = K+U= \frac 12 M v^2 + Mgh = M (\frac 12 \cdot 50^2 + 9.81\cdot 1000) = M ( 1250 + 9810) = 11060\cdot M

From the lens equation calculate the position of the following images produced by a convex lens.
fiasKO [112]

Explanation:

(i)

O is the object and I is the image.

The image formed is enlarged and it is erect. So the magnification will be positive (+) and greater than 1.

Refer above image. 1

(ii)

O is the object and I is the image.

The image formed is diminished and erect. So the magnification will be positive (+) and less than1.

Refer above image. 2

(iii)

The image will be formed as the 2F on the other side of the lens and it will be of same of the object.

Distinguish between linear momentum and angular momentum.
Katarina [22]

Linear momentum is in a straight line and depends on the objects mass and velocity.

Angular (rotational) momentum depends on the objects mass, velocity, and radius.

What occurs when a swimmer pushes through water to swim
Triss [41]
When we swim we apply force and push the water backward with the help of our hands. In response, The water pushes us forward with an equal force. Thus, in order to move forward and swim, the swimmer lushes the water backward. Newton's 3rd law of motion
