Light reflects off the surface of lake superior. What phase shift does it undergo?

Answer:

phase change is by 180 degree

Explanation:

When transverse wave reflects off by a surface of denser medium then its phase will change by 180

so here the phase is reversed when any transverse when get reflected by a denser medium

since water is denser than air so here the light will have phase reversal when it is reflected by a denser medium surface of water

so phase change is by 180 degree

Answer:

Mass is constant everywhere,

But weight is different,

If earth g = 10 then moon's is 1.6666667

Calculate the electric field at the center of a square

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

$E_y=1175510.2\ N.C^{-1}$

The Magnitude of electric field is in the upward direction as shown directly towards the charge $q_1$ .

Explanation:

Given:

side of a square, $a=52.5\ cm$

charge on one corner of the square, $q_1=+45\times 10^{-6}\ C$

charge on the remaining 3 corners of the square, $q_2=q_3=q_4=-27\times 10^{-6}\ C$

Distance of the center from each corners $=\frac{1}{2} \times diagonals$

$diagonal=\sqrt{52.5^2+52.5^2}$

$diagonal=74.25\cm=0.7425\ m$

∴Distance of center from corners, $b=0.3712\ m$

Now, electric field due to charges is given as:

$E=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\times \frac{q}{b^2}$

For charge $q_1$ we have the field lines emerging out of the charge since it is positively charged:

$E_1=9\times 10^9\times \frac{45\times 10^{-6}}{0.3712^2}$

$E_1=2938775.5\ N.C^{-1}$

Force by each of the charges at the remaining corners:

$E_2=E_3=E_4=9\times 10^9\times \frac{27\times 10^{-6}}{0.3712^2}$

$E_2=E_3=E_4=1763265.3\ N.C^{-1}$

Now, net electric field in the vertical direction:

$E_y=E_1-E_4$

$E_y=1175510.2\ N.C^{-1}$

Now, net electric field in the horizontal direction:

$E_y=E_2-E_3$

$E_y=0\ N.C^{-1}$

So the Magnitude of electric field is in the upward direction as shown directly towards the charge $q_1$ .

Determine the minimum size of glass tubing that can be used to measure water level. If the capillary rise in the tube does not e

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Explanation:

The formula to determine the size of a capillary tube is

h = 2•T•Cos θ / r•ρ•g

Where

h = height of liquid level

T = surface tension

r = radius of capillary tube

ρ = density of liquid

θ = angle of contact = 0°

g =acceleration due to gravity=9.81m/s²

The liquid is water then,

ρ = 1000 kg / m³

Given that,

T = 0.0735 N/m

h = 0.25mm = 0.25 × 10^-3m

Then,

r = 2•T•Cos θ / h•ρ•g

r = 2 × 0.0735 × Cos0 / 2.5 × 10^-3 × 1000 × 9.81

r = 5.99 × 10^-3m

Then, r ≈ 6mm

The radius of the capillary tube is 6mm

So, the minimum size is

Volume = πr²h

Volume = π × 6² × 0.25

V = 2.83 mm³

The minimum size of the capillary tube is 2.83mm³

Calculate a rate of cooling down of air from 80 C to 5C Show calculation. Give an answer in cubic meters per minute and cfm.

antoniya [11.8K]

Explanation:

Given that,

Rate of cooling of air

Initial temperature= 80°C

Final temperature = 5°C

We need to calculate

Using newton's law of cooling

$\dfrac{dT}{dt}=c(T-T_{0})$

$\dfrac{dT}{dt}=c(\dfrac{T_{1}+T_{2}}{2}-T_{0})$

Where, $dT=T_{1}-T_{2}$

Here, $T =\dfrac{T_{1}+T_{2}}{2}$

$T_{0}$ = 25°C (surrounding temperature)

dt = 1 minute

$\dfrac{dT}{dt}=c(\dfrac{T_{1}+T_{2}}{2}-T_{0})$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{80-5}{1}=c(\dfrac{85}{2}-25)$

$c=\dfrac{75}{17.5}$

$c=4.285\ cubic\ meter/minute$

Hence, This is the required answer.
