Complete Question

An oil tanker has collided with a smaller vessel, resulting in an oil spill in a large, calm-water bay of the ocean. You are investigating the environmental effects of the accident and need to know the area of the spill. The tanker captain informs you that 18000 liters of oil have escaped and that the oil has an index of refraction of n = 1.1. The index of refraction of the ocean water is 1.33. From the deck of your ship you note that in the sunlight the oil slick appears to be blue. A spectroscope confirms that the dominant wavelength from the surface of the spill is 485 nm. Assuming a uniform thickness, what is the largest total area oil slick

Answer:

The largest total area of the oil slick $A = 8.257 *10^{9} \ m^2$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The volume of oil the escaped is $V = 18000 \ L$

The refractive index of oil is $n_o = 1.1$

The refractive index of water is $n_w = 1.33$

The wavelength of the light is $\lambda = 485 \ nm = 485 * 10^{-9} \ m$

Generally the thickness of the oil for condition of constructive interference between the oil and the water is mathematically represented as

$d = m *\frac{\lambda}{2n_w}$

Where is the order of interference of the light and it value ranges from 1, 2, 3,...n

It is usually take as 1 unless stated otherwise by the question

substituting value

$d = 1 * \frac{485 *10^{-9}}{2 * 1.1}$

$d = 218 nm$

The are can be mathematically evaluated as

$A = \frac{V}{d}$

Substituting values

$A = \frac{18000}{218*10^{-8}}$

$A = 8.257 *10^{9} \ m^2$

Could You Take 2 Elements From The Periodic Table Of Elements, and possibly make one of other 116 elements that are on the table

LekaFEV [45]

That's what stars do all the time.
For example, in the sun (and MOST other stars), deep down in the center
of the sun's core, two atoms of Hydrogen get squashed together so hard
that they blend into one atom of Helium AND release some energy.
That's where the sun's energy all comes from. It's called "nuclear fusion".
It needs tremendous temperature and pressure to happen. We know how
to do it, but we can't control it. So far, the only thing we've ever been able
to use it for is Hydrogen bombs.

There are 92 elements on the Periodic Table that are found in nature,
plus another 20 or so that have been made in the laboratory, but only
a few atoms of them.

Given a second class lever with a distance of 5.00 feet from the fulcrum to the effort and a distance of 33.0 inches from the re

leva [86]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. 45.5 lbs.

Explanation:

In a second class lever, the load is located between the point in which the force is exerted and the fulcrum.

The formula for any problem involving a lever is:

$F_ed_e=F_ld_l$

Where F_e is the effort force, d_e is the total length of the lever, F_l is the load that can be lifted and d_l is the distance between the point of the effort and the fulcrum.

The parameter of the formula that you need is F_l:

$F_l=\frac{F_ed_e}{d_l}$

The conversion from feet to inches is 1 ft is equal to 12 inches. In this case, 5 ft are equal to 60 inches.

$F_l=\frac{25*60}{33}$

F_l=45.5 lbs

How do you make a magnet with wire and electricity ?

AVprozaik [17]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>By wrapping the wire along a solenoid and connecting it to electricity</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

If you wrap a copper wire into coils and run an electrical current through it, you will create a magnetic field. If you rotate a permanent magnet as opposed to an item that has been magnetized inside a coil of copper wire, you can create an electrical current. The strength of magnetic field generated is proportional to the amount of current through the winding.
