A submarine periscope uses two totally reflecting 45-45-90 prisms with total internal reflection on the sides adjacent to the 45

degree angles. Explain why the periscope will no longer work if it springs a leak and the bottom prism is covered with water. Note: The index of refraction for water is 1.33. The index of refraction for glass is 1.52

Answer

Given,

Periscope uses 45-45-90 prisms with total internal reflection adjacent to 45°.

refractive index of water, n_a = 1.33

refractive index of glass, n_g = 1.52

When the light enters the water, water will act as a lens and when we see the object from the periscope the object shown is farther than the usual distance.

Why is there no drag in space?????? Help me please!!! Thanks!!!
astraxan [27]
It is beacuse of fluid If there is no fluid, there is no drag. Drag is generated by the difference in velocity between the solid object and the fluid. If this statement is correct then how can there be drag in space if there is no air?

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

N = 1036 times

Explanation:

The radial probability density of the hydrogen ground state is given by:

p(r) = \frac{4r^{2} }{a_{0} ^{3} } e^{\frac{-2r}{a_{0} } }

p(\frac{a_{0} }{2} ) = \frac{4(\frac{a_{0} }{2} )^{2} }{a_{0} ^{3} } e^{\frac{-2(\frac{a_{0} }{2} )}{a_{0} } }

p(2a_{0} ) = \frac{4(2a_{0}) ^{2} }{a_{0} ^{3} } e^{\frac{-4a_{0} }{a_{0} } }

N = 1300\frac{p(2a_{0}) }{p(\frac{a_{0} }{2} )}

N = 1300\frac{(2a_{0}) ^{2}e^{\frac{-4a_{0} }{a_{0} } }  }{(\frac{a_{0} }{2} )^{2} e^{\frac{-a_{0} }{a_{0} } }}

N = 1300(16) e^{-3}

N = 1035.57

N = 1036 times

6. A warehouse employee is pushing a 15.0 kg desk across a floor at a constant speed of 0.50 m/s. How much work must the employe
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

7.5 J

Explanation:

To answer the question given above, we need to determine the energy that will bring about the speed of 1 m/s. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 15 Kg

Velocity (v) = 1 m/s

Energy (E) =?

E = ½mv²

E = ½ × 15 × 1²

E = ½ × 15 × 1

E = ½ × 15

E = 7.5 J

Therefore, to change the speed to 1 m/s, the employee must do a work of 7.5 J.
