Dan confirms the authenticity of an amethyst stone by a few tests. During one of the tests, he finds the angle of the refracted

ray of light coming out of the amethyst into the air as 28°. If the refractive index of amethyst is 1.55, what is the incident angle?

Snell's law.
$n_{1}*sin \alpha _{1}= n_{2}*sin \alpha _{2}$
1=incident
2=refracted
Since it's coming out of the amethyst into air:
n1=1.55
n2=1.0003
$sin \alpha _{2}$ = $sin28$ °

Substituting back into Snell's equation we get $sin \alpha _{1}=0.303$ so the angle is $\alpha _{1}=arcsin0.303=17.6$ °

1. A 4-N force is used to move an object 2 m in 10 s. Which of the following is the power generated while moving the object?

guajiro [1.7K]

Power is the work done per unit time. Therefore,

$\begin{gathered} p=\frac{w}{t} \\ \text{where} \\ w=\text{work done} \\ t=\text{time} \end{gathered}$

Therefore,

$\begin{gathered} \text{work done=fd} \\ f=force=4N \\ d=\text{displacement}=2m \\ t=2\sec s \\ p=\frac{fd}{t}=\frac{4\times2}{10}=\frac{8}{10}=0.8watts \end{gathered}$

An object weighs 63.8 N in air. When it is suspended from a force scale and completely immersed in water the scale reads 16.8 N.

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

The density of this object is approximately $1.36\; {\rm kg \cdot L^{-1}}$ .

The density of the oil in this question is approximately $0.600\; {\rm kg \cdot L^{-1}}$ .

(Assumption: the gravitational field strength is $g =9.806\; {\rm N \cdot kg^{-1}}$ )

Explanation:

When the gravitational field strength is $g$ , the weight $(\text{weight})$ of an object of mass $m$ would be $m\, g$ .

Conversely, if the weight of an object is $(\text{weight})$ in a gravitational field of strength $g$ , the mass $m$ of that object would be $m = (\text{weight}) / g$ .

Assuming that $g =9.806\; {\rm N \cdot kg^{-1}}$ . The mass of this $63.8\; {\rm N}$ -object would be:

$\begin{aligned} \text{mass} &= \frac{\text{weight}}{g} \\ &= \frac{63.8\; {\rm N}}{9.806\; {\rm N \cdot kg^{-1}}} \\ &\approx 6.506\; {\rm kg}\end{aligned}$ .

When an object is immersed in a liquid, the buoyancy force on that object would be equal to the weight of the liquid that was displaced. For instance, since the object in this question was fully immersed in water, the volume of water displaced would be equal to the volume of this object.

When this object was suspended in water, the buoyancy force on this object was $(63.8\; {\rm N} - 16.8\; {\rm N}) = 47.0\; {\rm N}$ . Hence, the weight of water that this object displaced would be $47.0 \; {\rm N}$ .

The mass of water displaced would be:

$\begin{aligned}\text{mass} &= \frac{\text{weight}}{g} \\ &= \frac{47.0\: {\rm N}}{9.806\; {\rm N \cdot kg^{-1}}} \\ &\approx 4.793\; {\rm kg}\end{aligned}$ .

The volume of that much water (which this object had displaced) would be:

$\begin{aligned}\text{volume} &= \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{density}} \\ &\approx \frac{4.793\; {\rm kg}}{1.00\; {\rm kg \cdot L^{-1}}} \\ &\approx 4.793\; {\rm L}\end{aligned}$ .

Since this object was fully immersed in water, the volume of this object would be equal to the volume of water displaced. Hence, the volume of this object is approximately $4.793\; {\rm L}$ .

The mass of this object is $6.50\; {\rm kg}$ . Hence, the density of this object would be:

$\begin{aligned} \text{density} &= \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{volume}} \\ &\approx \frac{6.506\; {\rm kg}}{4.793\; {\rm L}} \\ &\approx 1.36\; {\rm kg \cdot L^{-1}} \end{aligned}$ .

(Rounded to $\text{$3$ sig. fig.}$ )

Similarly, since this object was fully immersed in oil, the volume of oil displaced would be equal to the volume of this object: approximately $4.793\; {\rm L}$ .

The weight of oil displaced would be equal to the magnitude of the buoyancy force: $63.8\; {\rm N} - 35.6\; {\rm N} = 28.2\; {\rm N}$ .

The mass of that much oil would be:

$\begin{aligned}\text{mass} &= \frac{\text{weight}}{g} \\ &= \frac{28.2\: {\rm N}}{9.806\; {\rm N \cdot kg^{-1}}} \\ &\approx 2.876\; {\rm kg}\end{aligned}$ .

Hence, the density of the oil in this question would be:

$\begin{aligned} \text{density} &= \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{volume}} \\ &\approx \frac{2.876\; {\rm kg}}{4.793\; {\rm L}} \\ &\approx 0.600\; {\rm kg \cdot L^{-1}} \end{aligned}$ .

Based on this electric field diagram, which statement best compares the charge of A with B?

lilavasa [31]

Based on this electric field diagram, the statement which best compares the charge of A with B is "A is negatively charged and B is positively charged. The charge on A is greater than that on B".

<u>Answer:</u> Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

The charge is quantized represented as elementary charge, about 1.602×10−19 coulombs. Their are two kinds of electric charging: positive and negative (usually transported, separately, by protons and electrons). Like charges repel each other, while attraction occurs among unlike charges. An entity without net charge is considered neutral. If a piece of matter comprises more electrons than protons, it has a negative charge, when there are fewer, it'll have a positive charge and when there are equal amounts, this will be neutral.
