You are playing a game where you drop a coin into a water tank and try to land it on a target. You often find this game at fast

food places as part of a fundraiser. The sides of the tank are flat and the target is 6in from the side of the tank. Your eye is 9in from the side of the tank. Water has an index of refraction of 4/3. If you drop the coin accurately and it falls straight down to the location where the target appears to be, how far are you off?

Answer:

1.5 inch in the front of the target

Explanation:

distance of the object, y = 6 in.

Since the surface is flat, then the radius of curvature has to be infinity.

The incident index is n(i) = 4/3 and the transmitted index is n(t) = 1

The single interface equation is

[n(i) / y + n(t) / y^i] = [n(t) -n(i)] / r

When we substitute the appropriate values, we have

1.333/6 + 1/y^i = 0

1/y^i = -1.3333/6

y^i = -6/1.333

y^i = -4.5

thus, the image distance is -4.5 in

Therefore, the coin falls 1.5 inch in the front of the target

A box has a force of 5 N that acts to the right. There is a second force of 10 N on the box acting to the left. What is the magn
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

-5n

Explanation:

you have the positive force meaning the right which is acting with 5 Newton's. The negative we can assume to be the 10 Newton's to the left if you subtract them the resultant force should be -5 so ,5 Newton's to the left

If 2.0j of work is done in raising 180g apple, how far was it lifted?
Nikitich [7]

Work = (force)x(distance)

Since we're lifting, the 'force' is the weight of the apple.

Weight = (mass)x(gravity)

Weight = (0.180 kg)x(9.8 m/s^2)

Weight = 1.764 Newtons

2.0 J = (1.764 N) x (distance)

Distance = 2.0J / 1.764N

Distance = 1.13 meters

A sled with mass 8.00kg moves in a straight line on a frictionless horizontal surface. At one point in it's path, it's speed is
kati45 [8]

We will use two definitions to solve this problem. The first will be given by the conservation of energy, whereby the change in kinetic energy must be equivalent to work. At the same time, work can be defined as the product between the force by the distance traveled. By matching these two expressions and clearing for the Force we can find the desired variable.

W = KE_f-KE_i

Fd = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2-\frac{1}{2} mv_i^2

Thus the force acting on the sled is,

F = \frac{m}{2s} (v_f^2-v_i^2)

Replacing,

F = \frac{8}{2(2.5)}(6^2-4^2)

F = 32N

Therefore the Force acting on the sled is 32N

41. Electric and magnetic forces can both make certain objects move. For example, a positively charged particle will repel anoth
notsponge [240]

Answer:

Place the north pole of a magnet next to the north pole of another magnet.

Explanation:

Looking at the comments, we can see that the options are:

Place the south pole of a magnet next to the north pole of another magnet.

Place the north pole of a magnet next to the north pole of another magnet.

First, we know that a positively charged particle will repel another positively charged particle.

The same thing happens for magnetic forces (usually we define a magnetic flow from the south pole to the north pole, so we can define the south pole as the "positive" and the north pole as the "negative", but this is only notation and do not really matter), a south pole of a magnet will repel another south pole of a magnet (and the same happens for the north poles)

Then the correct option is:

Place the north pole of a magnet next to the north pole of another magnet.
