When you look vertically downwards into a swimming pool full of water the bottom of the pool seems closer to you than it really is. The apparent depth at this point can be worked out using the formula:

Apparent depth = Real depth/Refractive index of water

However as you look towards the end of the pool the bottom seems to curve upwards – we are thinking about a pool of constant depth to start with.


If the depth of the pool really does change then the situation becomes more complex and you would need to allow for that when drawing the diagram

A fan that is rotating at 960 rev/s is turned off. It makes 1500 revolutions before it comes to a stop. a) What was its angular
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

α = 1930.2 rad/s²

Explanation:

The angular acceleration can be found by using the third equation of motion:

2\alpha \theta=\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2

where,

α = angular acceleration = ?

θ = angular displacement = (1500 rev)(2π rad/1 rev) = 9424.78 rad

ωf = final angular speed = 0 rad/s

ωi = initial angular speed = (960 rev/s)(2π rad/1 rev) = 6031.87 rad/s

Therefore,

2\alpha(9424.78\ rad) = (0\ rad/s)^2-(6031.87\ rad/s)^2\\\\\alpha = -\frac{(6031.87\ rad/s)^2}{(2)(9424.78\ rad)}

<u>α = - 1930.2 rad/s²</u>

<u>negative sign shows deceleration</u>

You have a 2m long wire which you will make into a thin coil with N loops to generate a magnetic field of 3mT when the current i
Anni [7]

Answer:

<em>radius of the loop =  7.9 mm</em>

<em>number of turns N ≅ 399 turns</em>

Explanation:

length of wire L= 2 m

field strength B = 3 mT = 0.003 T

current I = 12 A

recall that field strength B = μnI

where n is the turn per unit length

vacuum permeability μ  = 4\pi *10^{-7}  T-m/A = 1.256 x 10^-6 T-m/A

imputing values, we have

0.003 = 1.256 x 10^−6 x n x 12

0.003 = 1.507 x 10^-5 x n

n = 199.07 turns per unit length

for a length of 2 m,

number of loop N = 2 x 199.07 = 398.14 ≅ <em>399 turns</em>

since  there are approximately 399 turns formed by the 2 m length of wire, it means that each loop is formed by 2/399 = 0.005 m of the wire.

this length is also equal to the circumference of each loop

the circumference of each loop = 2\pi r

0.005 = 2 x 3.142 x r

r = 0.005/6.284 = 7.9*10^{-4} m = 0.0079 m =<em> 7.9 mm</em>
