Answer:

30cm

Explanation:

assume that the eyes are substantially above the water so that sin(theta) is approximately theta.

( small angle approximation).

The point at which a ray leaving the fish hits the surface of the water is x to the side of the centreline and the depth of the water is d

x/d = sin( angle of incidence)

if the apparent depth of the water is h then

x/h = sin( angle of refraction)

and applying snells law

1 sin ( theta air) = 1.33 sin( theta water)

1 * x/h = 1.33 * x/d

d/h = 1.33

or h/d = 1/1.33

h/39 = 1.33

h = 39 /1.33 so that is the apparent depth of the stream assuming:-

1. Your eyes are almost directly overhead

and

2. your eyes are a significant distance above the surface of the water.

x/d = 1.33 x/h

h/d =39/1.3

= 30cm

A cube of water 10 cm on a side is placed in a microwave beam having Ea = 11 kV/m‘ The microwaves illuminate one faceofthe cube,
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

The time is 133.5 sec.

Explanation:

Given that,

One side of cube = 10 cm

Intensity of electric field = 11 kV/m

Suppose How long will it take to raise the water temperature by 41°C Assume that the water has no heat loss during this time.

We need to calculate the rate of energy transfer from the beam to the cube

Using formula of rate of energy

P=(0.80)IA

P=0.80\times\dfrac{c\mu_{0}E^2}{2}\times A

Put the value into the formula

P=0.80\times\dfrac{3\times10^{8}\times8.85\times10^{-12}\times(1.1\times10^{4})^2}{2}\times(10\times10^{-2})^2

P=1285.02\ W

We need to calculate the amount of heat

Using formula of heat

E =mc\Delta T

E =\rho Vc\Delta T

Put the value into the formula

E=1000\times(0.10)^3\times4186\times41

E=171626\ J

We need to calculate the time

Using formula of time

t=\dfrac{E}{P}

Put the value into the formula

t=\dfrac{171626}{1285.02}

t=133.5\ sec

Hence, The time is 133.5 sec.

"The White Shark" allows riders to start from rest on a tube and then slide down a 44 meter slide. It takes the rider 6.2 second
Leni [432]
<span>Acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity of an object that is moving. This value is a result of all the forces that is acting on an object which is described by Newton's second law of motion. Calculations of such is straightforward, if we are given the final velocity, the initial velocity and the total time interval. However, we are not given these values. We are only left by using the kinematic equation expressed as:

d = v0t + at^2/2

We cancel the term with v0 since it is initially at rest,

d = at^2/2
44 = a(6.2)^2/2
a = 2.3 m/s^2

An electric dipole is formed from ± 5.0 nC point charges spaced 3.0 mm apart. The dipole is centered at the origin, oriented alo
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

The electric field strength at point (x,y) = ( 20 mm ,0cm) is =<u>16321.0769 N/C</u>

The electric field strength at point (x,y) = (0cm, 20 mm) is =<u>35321.58999 N/C</u>

Explanation:

Question: What is the electric field strength at point (x,y) = ( 20 mm ,0cm)?

Answer:

The electric field at any given point of the dipole is given as:

E= (KP) ÷ (r^2 + a^2)^3/2

Where:

K = 9x10^9 Nm^2/c^2 (coloumb constant)

P = (0.003) (5x10^-9c) which is the movement of the dipole

(0.003) is arrived at when mm is converted to m. 3.0 mm space apart was converted to a meter.

r= the point, in the question above is 20mm = 0.02m

Now, the electric field, E can be calculated by putting the values in the formula above:

E = (KP) ÷ (r^2 + a^2)^3/2

= (9x10^9 Nm^2/c^2) (0.003 m) (5x10^-9c) ÷ [ (0.02m)^2 + (0.003)^2]^3/2

= 0.135 ÷ (8.271513x10^-6)

=<u>16321.0769 N/C</u>

 Question: What is the electric field strength at point (x,y) = (0cm, 20 mm )?

Answer:

Here, the electric field, E= 2krp ÷ (r^2 - a^2)^2

E= 2 (9x10^9 Nm^2/c^2) (0.02m) (0.003 m) (5x10^-9c) ÷ [(0.02m)^2 - (0.003)^2]^2

= 0.0054 ÷  0.000000152881

=<u>35321.58999 N/C</u>

A short-wave radio antenna is supported by two guy wires, 155 ft and 175 ft long. Each wire is attached to the top of the antenn
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

163.8 ft

Explanation:

In triangle ABD

AB = 155 ft

Cos63 = \frac{BD}{AB} = \frac{BD}{155}\\BD = 155 Cos63 \\BD = 70.4 ft

Sin63 = \frac{AD}{AB} = \frac{AD}{155} \\AD = 166 Sin63\\AD = 148 ft

Using Pythagorean theorem in triangle ADC

AC^{2} = AD^{2} + DC^{2} \\175^{2} = 148^{2} + DC^{2} \\DC = 93.4 ft

d = distance between the anchor points

distance between the anchor points is given as

d = BD + CD = 70.4 + 93.4\\d = 163.8 ft
