D.multiple. because you always have to double check to see if its true or not. Majority rule.

It would be D. The reason is because you always want to cross-reference your information of multiple, reliable sites to confirm (Or deny) you information. For example, if I googled "Do cats really have nine lives?" The results appear as a study from a college in New York and an article about cats. You can't really trust a random website, as anyone can edit it and make it inaccurate. That means you should just read the study, right? Wrong. You should read both of the pages, and find which parts seem to be in both of them. These parts are likely accurate, because they were on two different sources.

Complete the ray diagram and label incident ray, refracted ray, angle of incidence, and angle of refraction

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Solution

Verified by Toppr

(a) The labelled diagram is shown.

(b) The refractive index of diamond is 2.42. Refractive index of diamond is the ratio of the speed of light in air to the speed of light in diamond.i.e.,

μ=

Speedoflightindiamond

Speedoflightinair

and, the ratio of these velocities is 2.42. i.e., This means that the speed of light in diamond will reduce by a factor of 2.42 as compared to its speed in air. In other words, the speed of light in diamond is

1/2.42

times the speed of light in vacuum.

Explanation:

a) Draw and label the diagram given :

(i) Incident ray

(ii) Refracted ray

(iii) Emergent ray

(iv) Angle of reflection

(v) Angle of deviation

(v) Angle of emergence

(b) The refractive index of diamond is 2.42. What is the meaning of this statement in relation to speed of light?

A block with mass m =6.4 kg is hung from a vertical spring. When the mass hangs in equilibrium, the spring stretches x = 0.28 m.

Zanzabum

Answer

given,

mass of block (m)= 6.4 Kg

spring is stretched to distance, x = 0.28 m

initial velocity = 5.1 m/s

a) computing weight of spring

k x = m g

$k = \dfrac{mg}{x}$

$k = \dfrac{6.4 \times 9.8}{0.28}$

k = 224 N/m

b) $f = \dfrac{\omega}{2\pi}$

$\omega = \sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}= \sqrt{\dfrac{224}{6.4}} = 5.92 \ rad/s$

$f = \dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}$

$f = \dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{224}{6.4}}$

$f =0.94\ Hz$

c) $v_b = -v cos \omega t$

$v_b = -5.1 \times cos (5.92 \times 0.42)$

$v_b = 4.04\ m/s$

d) $a_{max} = v \omega$

$a_{max} = 4.04 \times 5.92$

$a_{max} =23.94\ m/s^2$

e) $Y =- A sin (\omega t)$

$A = \dfrac{v}{\omega}$

$A = \dfrac{4.04}{5.92}$

A = 0.682 m

$Y =- 0.682 \times sin (5.92 \times 0.42)$

$Y =- 0.42$

Force = $m \omega^2 |Y|$

= $6.4 \times 5.92^2\times 0.42$

F = 94.20 N

Find the energy in Joules required to lift a 55.0 Megagram object a distance of 500 cm.

fredd [130]

Energy to lift something =

(mass of the object) x (gravity) x (height of the lift).

BUT ...

This simple formula only works if you use the right units.

Mass . . . kilograms
Gravity . . . meters/second²
Height . . . meters

For this question . . .

Mass = 55 megagram = 5.5 x 10⁷ grams = 5.5 x 10⁴ kilograms

Gravity (on Earth) = 9.8 m/second²

Height = 500 cm = 5.0 meters

So we have ...

Energy = (5.5 x 10⁴ kilogram) x (9.8 m/s²) x (5 m)

= 2,696,925 joules .

That's quite a large amount of energy ... equivalent to
straining at the rate of 1 horsepower for almost exactly an
hour, or burning a 100 watt light bulb for about 7-1/2 hours.

The reason is the large mass that's being lifted.
On Earth, that much mass weighs about 61 tons.

A student examines a 20-meter long rectangular stream channel and takes the following measurements: width of stream = 4 meters,

Scrat [10]

Answer:

The discharge of the stream at this location is 40 cubic meters per second.

Explanation:

The discharge is the volume flow rate of the water in the stream. For this purpose we can use the following formula:

Discharge = Volume Flow Rate = (Cross-Sectional Area)(Velocity of Stream)

Volume Flow Rate = (Width of Stream)(Depth of Stream)(Velocity of Stream)

Volume Flow Rate = (4 meters)(2 meters)(5 meters per second)

<u>Volume Flow Rate = 40 cubic meters per second</u>

Therefore, the discharge of the stream at this location is found to be <u>40 cubic meters per second</u>

This result shows that 40 cubic meters volume of water passes or discharges through this point in a time of one second. Hence, this is called the volume flow rate or the discharge of the stream.
