A bug on the surface of a pond is observed to move up and down a total vertical distance of 6.5 cm , from the lowest to the high

est point, as a wave passes. If the ripples decreaseto 4.7 cm, by what factor does thebug's maximum KE change?

Answer:

factor that bug maximum KE change is 0.52284

Explanation:

given data

vertical distance = 6.5 cm

ripples decrease to =  4.7 cm

solution

We apply here formula for the KE of particle that executes the simple harmonic motion that is express as

KE = (0.5) × m × A² × ω²     .................1

and kinetic energy is  directly proportional to square of the amplitude.

so

\frac{KE2}{KE1} =  \frac{A2^2}{A1^2}      .............2

\frac{KE2}{KE1} = \frac{4.7^2}{6.5^2}

\frac{KE2}{KE1} = 0.52284

so factor that bug maximum KE change is 0.52284

Soon after Earth was formed, heat released by the decay of radioactive elements raised the average internal temperature from 300
Oliga [24]

Answer:

97.03%

Explanation:

The equation for volumetric expansion due to thermal expansion is as follows

V/Vo=(1+γΔT)

V=final volume

Vo=initial volume

γ=coefficient of volume expansion=3.2 × 10–5 K–1

ΔT=

temperature difference

assuming that the earth is a sphere the volume is given by

V=(4/3)pi R^3

if we find the relationship between the initial and final volume we have the following

\frac{V}{Vo}  =\frac{ \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3} }{ \frac{4}{3} \pi ro^{3}}=\frac{r^{3} }{ro^{3}}

taking into account the previous equation

r/ro=(1+γΔT)^(1/3)

r/r0=(1-3.2x10-5(3000-300))^(1/3)=

r/ro=0.9703=97.03%

The sun is 1.5 × 108 km from Earth. The index of refraction for water is 1.349. How much longer would it take light from the sun
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

175s

Explanation:

time it takes sunlight to reach the earth in  vacuum

C=light speed=299792458m/s

X=1.5x10^8km=1.5x10^11m

c=X/t

T1=X/c

T1=1.5X10^11/299792458=500.34s

time it takes sunlight to reach the earth in  water:

First we calculate the speed of light in water taking into account the refractive index

Cw=299792458m/s/1.349=222233104.5m/s

T2=1.5x10^11/222233104.5m/s=675s

additional time it would take for the light to reach the earth

ΔT=T2-T1=675-500=175s
