If a spear is thrown at a fish swimming in a lake, it will often miss the fish completely. Why does this happen?

The light that makes up the image of the fish is refracted when it leaves the water and enters the air. Your brain thinks the light traveled straight, so the fish is not located in the direction from you that your brain thinks it is.

What is the difference between tangential acceleration and centripetal acceleration?
Nuetrik [128]

Centripetal acceleration is directed along a radius so it may also be called the radial acceleration. If the speed is not constant, then there is also a tangential acceleration (at). The tangential acceleration is, indeed, tangent to the path of the particle's motion.

A 14.0 gauge copper wire of diameter 1.628 mm carries a current of 12.0 mA . A) What is the potential difference across a 1.80 m
Serga [27]

Answer: a) 139.4 μV; b) 129.6 μV

Explanation: In order to solve this problem we have to use the Ohm law given by:

V=R*I whre R= ρ *L/A  where ρ;L and A are the resistivity, length and cross section of teh wire.

Then we have:

for cooper R=1.71 *10^-8* 1.8/(0.001628)^2= 11.61 * 10^-3Ω

and for silver R= 1.58 *10^-8* 1.8/(0.001628)^2=10.80 * 10^-3Ω

Finalle we calculate the potential difference (V) for both wires:

Vcooper=11.62* 10^-3* 12 * 10^-3=139.410^-6 V

V silver= 10.80 10^-3* 12 * 10^-3=129.6 10^-6 V

. One long wire carries a current of 30 A along the entire x axis. A second-long wire carries a current of 40 A perpendicular to
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

magnitude of net magnetic field at given point is

B = 5 \times 10^{-6} T

Explanation:

As we know that magnetic field due to a long current carrying wire is given as

B = \frac{\mu_o i}{2\pi r}

here we we will find the magnetic field due to wire which is along x axis is given as

i = 30 A

r = 2 m

now we have

B_1 = \frac{4\pi \times 10^{-7} (30)}{2\pi (2m)}

B_1 = 3\times 10^{-6} T into the plane

Now similarly magnetic field due to another wire which is perpendicular to xy plane is given as

i = 40 A

r = 2 m

now we have

B_2 = \frac{4\pi \times 10^{-7} (40)}{2\pi (2m)}

B_2 = 4\times 10^{-6} T along + x direction

Since the two magnetic field is perpendicular to each other

So here net magnetic field is given as

B = \sqrt{B_1^2 + B_2^2}

B = 5 \times 10^{-6} T

A steel ball with mass m is suspended from the ceiling at the bottom end of a light, 17.0-m-long rope. The ball swings back and
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

1. 18.25 m/s

2. 0 m/s

Explanation:

1.So the centripetal acceleration of the ball at this lowest point must be, taking gravity into account

a_c = \frac{T - mg}{m} = \frac{3mg - mg}{m} = 2g

The speed at this point would then be

v^2 = a_c r = 2gr = 2*9.8*17 = 333.2

v = \sqrt{333.2} = 18.25 m/s

2. Similarly, if T = mg, then the centripetal acceleration must be

a_c = \frac{T - mg}{m} = \frac{mg - mg}{m} = 0

As the ball has no centripetal acceleration, its speed must also be 0 as well.
