Answer:

  θ = 28.9

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use the law of refraction

          n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

where we use index 1 for air and index 2 for water where the fish is

        sin θ₂ = n₁ / n₂ sin θ₁

in this case the air repair index is 1 and the water 1.33

we substitute

        sin θ₂ = 1 / 1.33 sin t 40

        sin θ = 0.4833

         

        θ = sin⁻¹ 0.4833

        θ = 28.9

An aluminum cup of mass 150 g contains 800 g of water in thermal equilibrium at 80.0°C. The combination of cup and water is cool
gladu [14]

Answer:

Heat Flow Rate : ( About ) 87 W

Explanation:

The heat flowing out of the system each minute, will be represented by the following equation,

Q( cup ) + Q( water ) = m( cup ) * c( al ) * ΔT + m( w ) * c( w ) * ΔT

So as you can see, the mass of the aluminum cup is 150 grams. For convenience, let us convert that into kilograms,

150 grams = .15 kilograms - respectively let us convert the mass of water to kilograms,

800 grams = .8 kilograms

Now remember that the specific heat of aluminum is 900 J / kg * K, and the specific heat of water = 4186 J / kg * K. Therefore let us solve for " the heat flowing out of the system per minute, "

Q( cup ) + Q( water ) = .15 * ( 900 J / kg * K )  * 1.5 + .8 * ( 4186 J / kg * K ) * 1.5,

Q( cup ) + Q( water ) = 5225.7 Joules

And the heat flow rate should be Joules per minute,

5225.7 Joules / 60 seconds = ( About ) 87 W

1. A mass suspended from a spring oscillates vertically with amplitude of 15 cm. At what distance from the equilibrium position
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

The value of the distance is \bf{14.52~cm}.

Explanation:

The velocity of a particle(v) executing SHM is

v = \omega \sqrt{A^{2} - x^{2}}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`~(1)

where, \omega is the angular frequency, A is the amplitude of the oscillation and x is the displacement of the particle at any instant of time.

The velocity of the particle will be maximum when the particle will cross its equilibrium position, i.e., x = 0.

The maximum velocity(\bf{v_{m}}) is

v_{m} = \omega A~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(2)

Divide equation (1) by equation(2).

\dfrac{v}{v_{m}} = \dfrac{\sqrt{A^{2} - x^{2}}}{A}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(3)

Given, v = 0.25 v_{m} and A = 15~cm. Substitute these values in equation (3).

&& \dfrac{1}{4} = \dfrac{\sqrt{15^{2} - x^{2}}}{15}\\&or,& A = 14.52~cm
