Answer:

4.57 degree

Explanation:

As the dolphin is under water, so the angle is angle of refraction which is equal to 48.4 degree.

refractive index of water, n = 1.333

Let the angle of incidence which is the angle between the incident ray and the normal is i.

By use of Snell's law

n = \frac{Sin i}{Sin r}

1.333 = \frac{Sin i}{Sin 48.4}

Sin i = 1.333\times Sin 48.4 = 0.9968

i = 85.43 degree

Angle made with the horizon = 90 - 85.43 = 4.57 degree

The process of digestion breaks down proteins into smaller molecules that are used to rebuild other proteins. During digestion,
Len [333]

The process of digestion breaks down proteins into smaller molecules that are used to rebuild other proteins. During digestion, proteins undergo chemical changes.

<u>Option: D</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Proteins are broken down into amino acids considered the foundational element. When issued, these tiny molecules can then be consumed into the bloodstream via the gut wall. An enzyme is a protein which can regulate biochemical response rate. An enzyme integrates a water molecule around the bond in enzymatic hydrolysis processes which allows it to split.

The bonds which hold together the amino acids are recognized as peptide bonds. A hydrolysis process comparable to that included in splitting up carbohydrates is required to break the peptide bonds within a protein. Enzymes identified as proteases are required for the protein to disintegrate.

A laser beam with a frequency of 180 Hz forms an 8 m standing wave with 10 nodes.
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:33

Explanation:

F = frequency

N =  Node count

w = wave lenght

v = wave velocity

L = distance wave traveled

First find wave length of laser

w = (2/(N))*(L)

w = (2/(10))*(8)

w = 1.6

then using (w), find velocity

V =  (w)(F)

V = (1.6)*(108)

V = 288

Plug in V and the new frequency to solve for new node count

F = NV/2L

(600) = (N)*(288) / 2 * (8)

(N) = 33.33

there are 33 nodes

The y-position of a damped oscillator as a function of time is shown in the figure.
NISA [10]

(1) The period of the oscillator is 1 second.

(2) The damping coefficient is 0.93.

<h3>What is period of oscillation?</h3>

The period of oscillation is the time taken to make one complete cycle.

From the graph, the time taken to make one complete oscillation is 1 second.

<h3>Damping coefficient</h3>

equation of the wave is given as;

y(t) = Ae^(-btx) cos(ωt)

<h3>at time, t = 0, y = 3.5</h3>

3.5 = Ae^(-0) cos(0)

3.5 = A x 1

A = 3.5 cm

<h3>at time, t = 1 cm, y = - 3cm</h3>

-3 = 3.5e^(-bx) cos(ω)

-3/3.5 = e^(-bx) cos(ω)

-0.857 = e^(-bx) cos(ω)

-0.857 / cos(ω) =  e^(-bx)

ln[-0.857 / cos(ω)] = -bx  

ln[-0.857 / cos(ω)] / b = - x  ---- (1)

<h3>at time, t = 2 cm, y = - 2cm</h3>

-2 = 3.5e^(-2bx) cos(2ω)

-0.57 = e^(-2bx) cos(2ω)

ln[-0.57 / cos(2ω)] = -2bx  

ln[-0.57 / cos(2ω)] /2b = - x  ------(2)

solve (1) and (2)

ln[-0.57 / cos(2ω)]/2b = ln[-0.857 / cos(ω)] /b

-0.57 / cos(ω) = 2(-0.857 / cos(ω))

2(-0.857/cosω) = -0.57/cos2ω

-(2 x 0.857) / (-0.57) = cosω/cos 2ω

3 = cosω/cos 2ω

3(cos 2ω) =  cosω

3(2cos²ω - 1) = cos ω

6cos²ω - 6 = cosω

6cos²ω  - cosω - 6 = 0

let cosω  = y

6y² - y - 6 = 0

solve the quadratic equation;

y = 1.1 or -0.92

cosω = -0.92

ω  = arc cos(-0.92)

ω  = 2.74 rad/s

From equation (1)

ln[-0.857 / cos(ω)] / x = -b  ---- (1)

let x = 1

ln(-0.857/cos(2.74) = -b

-0.93 = -b

b = 0.93

Thus, the damping coefficient is 0.93.

If riding a lawnmower engine exerts 19 hp in one minute to move the lawnmower how much work is done
ioda

Answer:

the work done by the lawnmower is 236.14 J.

Explanation:

Given;

power exerted by the lawnmower engine, P = 19 hp

time in which the power was exerted, t = 1 minute = 60 s.

1 hp = 745.7 watts

The work done by the lawnmower is calculated as follows;

Work = Energy = \frac{Power}{time} \\\\Work = \frac{(19 \times 745.7)}{60} = 236.14 \ J

Therefore, the work done by the lawnmower is 236.14 J.
