The drawings show two examples in which a ray of light is refracted at the interface between two liquids. In each example the in

cident ray is in liquid
A and strikes the interface at the same angle of incidence. In one case the ray is refracted into liquid
B, and in the other it is refracted into liquid
C. The dashed lines denote the normals to the interfaces.
D.Rank the indices of refraction of the three liquids in descending order (largest first).

Answer:

Possible options:

A. nA, nC, nB

B. nA, nB, nC

C. nC, nB, nA

D. nC, nA, nB

E. nB, nA, nC

Answer is D

Explanation:

When the light is refracted into liquid B it is bent away from the normal, so that nA > nB. When the light is refracted into liquid C it is bent toward the normal, so that nC > nA. Therefore, we conclude that nC > nA > nB

A boat radioed a distress call to a Coast Guard station. At the time of the call, a vector A from the station to the boat had a
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

d = 39.7 km

Explanation:

initial position of the boat is 45 km away at an angle of 15 degree East of North

so we will have

r_1 = 45 sin15 \hat i + 45 cos15 \hat j

r_1 = 11.64 \hat i + 43.46\hat j

after some time the final position of the boat is found at 30 km at 15 Degree North of East

so we have

r_2 = 30 cos15\hat i + 30 sin15 \hat j

r_2 = 28.98\hat i + 7.76 \hat j

now the displacement of the boat is given as

d = r_2 - r_1

d = (28.98\hat i + 7.76 \hat j) - (11.64 \hat i + 43.46\hat j)

d = 17.34 \hat i - 35.7 \hat j

so the magnitude is given as

d = \sqrt{17.34^2 + 35.7^2}

d = 39.7 km

If two firecrackers produce a sound level of 81 dBdB when fired simultaneously at a certain place, what will be the sound level
Mrac [35]

Answer:

77.96dB

Explanation:

Recall that decibels are a unit of measuring intensity of sound, and depend on the logarithm of the intensity

the intensity, measured in decibels is given by:

I(db)=10log(I/I0)

I is the intensity in MKS units; I0 is the threshold intensity for human hearing (10^-12 W/m^2)

Thus, if the two sounds together have a dB of 81, we know:

81=10log(I/I0)

using the data above, we can find the intensity of the two sounds to be

0.000125 W/m^2

therefore, one firecracker has an intensity half of that, or 0.0000625W/m^2

now use this value to find the dB of one firecracker:

I(dB0=10log(0.0000625/10^-12)=77.96dB

If a bicyclist, with initial velocity of zero, steadily gained speed until reaching a final velocity of 26m/s, how far would she
svetlana [45]

Answer:

34.45m

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion formula v² = u²+2as to get the distance travelled

v is the final velocity = 26m/s

u is the initial velocity = 0m/s

a is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s²

S is the distance travelled

Substituting the given values into the formula;

26² = 0²+2(9.81)s

676 = 0 + 19.62s

19.62s = 676

s = 676/19.62

s = 34.45m

Hence the distance she would travel during the race is 34.45m
