Answer:

24,187.04 J ≈ 24,200 J

Explanation:

mass (m) = 544 kg

initial speed (u) = 6.75 m/s

final speed (v) = 15.2 m/s

change in height (Δh) = -14 m (negative sign is because there is a decrease in height )

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

How much work was done on the raft by non conservative forces?

work done = change in energy of the system = change in kinetic energy + change in potential energy

work done = (0.5m(v^{2} -u^{2} )) + (mgΔh)

work done = (0.5x544x(15.2^{2} -6.75^{2} )) + (544 x 9.8 x (-14))

work done = 50449.76 - 74,636.8

work done = 24,187.04 J ≈ 24,200 J

Is the refraction different entering medium that has a higher index of refraction compared to entering amedium that has a lower
oee [108]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

The speed of light when it travels through glass, diamond, etc, the light travels at different speed from the speed of light. Speed of the light in material is related to the index of refraction.

The change in speed which occurs when the light passes from one medium to the another is responsible for bending of the light which is called as refraction.

<u>When the light goes into a medium with the higher index of the refraction, light bends towards normal. Conversely, if the light traveling goes from higher refractive index to lower refractive index, it will bend away from the normal. </u>

<u>Hence, the refraction is different in both the scenario.</u>

An incompressible fluid flows steadily through a pipe that has a change in diameter. The fluid speed at a location where the pip
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

The value is v_2 =  5.53 \  m /s

Explanation:

From the question we are told

  The pipe diameter at location 1 is  d  = 8.8 \  cm =  \frac{8.8 }{10} = 0.88 \ m

   The velocity at location 1 is  v_1 =  2.4 \  m /s

   The diameter at location 2 is  d_2 =  5.80 \  cm  =  0.58 \  m

Generally the area at location 1 is  

       A_1 =  \pi *  \frac{d^2}{ 2}

=>     A_1 =  \pi *  \frac{0.88^2}{ 2}

=>     A_1 = 3.142 *  \frac{0.88^2}{ 2}

=>     A_1 = 1.2166 \  m^2

Generally the area at location 1 is  

       A_2 =  \pi *  \frac{d_1^2}{ 2}

=>     A_2 =  \pi *  \frac{0.58^2}{ 2}

=>     A_2 = 0.528  \  m^2

Generally from continuity equation we have that

     A_1 * v_1 =  A_2 * v_2

=>   1.2166 *   2.4   =  0.528   * v_2

=>   1.2166 *   2.4   =  0.528   * v_2

=>    v_2 =  5.53 \  m /s

A long, thin straight wire with linear charge density λ runs down the center of a thin, hollow metal cylinder of radius R. The c
Delvig [45]

Answer:

E=\dfrac{\lambda }{2\pi \varepsilon _or}

Explanation:

Given that

For straight wire

Charge density= λ

For hollow metal cylinder

Charge density=2 λ

We know that electric filed for wire given as

E_w=\dfrac{\lambda_{wire} }{2\pi \varepsilon _or}

E_w=\dfrac{\lambda }{2\pi \varepsilon _or}

Now the electric filed due to hollow metal cylinder

E_c=\dfrac{\lambda_{cylinder} }{2\pi \varepsilon _or}

E_c=\dfrac{2\lambda }{2\pi \varepsilon _or}

Now  by considering the Gaussian surface r<R then only electric fild due to wire will present.So

At r<R

E=\dfrac{\lambda }{2\pi \varepsilon _or}
