A coin is resting on the bottom of an empty container. The container is then filled to the brim three times, each time with a di

fferent liquid. An observer (in air) is directly above the coin and looks down at it. With liquid A in the container, the apparent depth of the coin is 7 cm, with liquid B it is 6 cm, and with liquid C it is 5 cm. Rank the indices of refraction of the liquids in descending order (largest first).

Answer:

Refractive index of liquid C > Refractive index of liquid B > Refractive index of liquid A

Explanation:

Let the depth of each section is h.

That means the real depth for each section is h.

Apparent depth is liquid A is 7 cm.

Apparent depth in liquid B is 6 cm.

Apparent depth in liquid C is 5 cm.

by the formula of the refractive index

n = real depth / apparent depth

where, n is the refractive index of the liquid.

For liquid A:

n_{A}=\frac{h}{7}    .... (1)

For liquid B:

n_{B}=\frac{h}{6}   ..... (2)

For liquid C:

n_{C}=\frac{h}{5}     ..... (3)

By comparing all the three equations

nc > nB > nA

Refractive index of liquid C > Refractive index of liquid B > Refractive index of liquid A

The red box must way more. Gravitational potential energy is the product of a an objects mass times the acceleration due to gravity (which is constant on earth) times its height. Since the objects are on the same shelf they are at the same height, and since gravitational acceleration is constant as long as we stay on planet earth, then the mass is the only possible thing that could have changed. This means that the red box must weigh more than the blue box.

Which of the follow represent a chemical changes
mixer [17]

Answer:

C) steel turning to rust in salt air

Explanation:

The missing options are:

A) ice melting to form liquid water

B) water boiling to form steam

C) steel turning to rust in salt air

D) sugar dissolving into hot coffee

In a chemical change the atoms of the reacting compounds are reordered forming new compounds. In a chemical change, new compounds appear, but in a physical change not.

Then, change of states like ice melting and water boiling are not chemical changes.

During steel rust, components of steel, like iron, are oxidized, that is, reacts with oxygen forming oxides.

The dissolution of sugar into hot coffee is a physical change in which sugar molecules get further apart in the coffee,  but they don't change.

consider the photoelectric effect experiment. in one experiment yellow light shines on a piece of potassium metal. a current is
kompoz [17]

Explanation:

If the intensity of the yellow light increased, meaning more photons will strike the Potassium metal per unit area. This will cause more ejection of electrons from the metal and hence, the strength of current will also increase as we know that

I = Q/t, as the charge increase , the current will also increase.

Zak, helping his mother rearrange the furniture in their living room, moves a 60 kg sofa 5.9 m with a constant force of 40 N. Wh
Len [333]

Answer:236 J

Explanation:

Given

Mass of sofa m=60 kg

Displacement s=5.9 m

Force F=40 N

neglecting Friction

Work done is given by

W=F\cdot s

W=F\cdot s\cos 0

W=40\cdot 5.9

W=236 J
