Complete question is;

In searching the bottom of a pool at night, a watchman shines a narrow beam of light from his flashlight 125 cm above the water level to a point 185 cm from his foot at the edge of the pool. Where does the spot of light hit the bottom of the pool, relative to the edge, if the pool is 215 cm deep

Answer:

356.2 cm

Explanation:

First of all, let's find the angle of incidence from the distances ;

tan θ1 = l1/h1

tan θ1 = 185/125

tan θ1 = 1.48

θ1 = tan^(-1) 1.48

θ1 = 55.95°

For the refraction from air into water, we have

n_air × sin θ1 = n_water × sin θ2,

sin θ2 = (n_air × sin θ1)/n_water

Where,

n_water is refractive index of water = 1.33

n_air is refractive index of air = 1

Thus;

sin θ2 = (1 × sin 55.95)/1.33

sin θ2 = 0.62297

θ2 = sin^(-1) 0.62297

θ2 = 38.53°

So, the horizontal distance from the edge of the pool from l is;

l = l1 + l2 = l1 + h2 tan θ2

where;

l1 = 185cm

h2 = 215 cm

So,

l = 185 + 215(tan 38.53)

l = 185 + 171.2045

l = 356.2045 cm ≈ 356.2 cm

An alternating current is set up in an LRC circuit.
Andreyy89

Answer:

(B) Resistor only

Explanation:

Alternating Current: These are currents that changes periodically with time.

An LRC  Ac circuit is an AC circuit that contains a Resistor, a capacitor and an inductor, connected in series.

In a purely resistive circuit, current and voltage are in phase.

In a purely capacitive circuit, the current leads  the voltage by π/2

In a purely inductive circuit, the current lags the voltage by π/2.

Therefore when a alternating current is set up in LRC circuit, in the resistor, the current and the voltage are in phase.

The right option is (B) Resistor only.

The term 'DENSITY' tells us…
pogonyaev

Answer:

The answer is A

Explanation:

Density basically shows the amount of mass per volume of something. You can easily find Density with the equation D=m/v

D= Density

m= mass

v= volume

A dolphin can swim at a constant speed of 12.5 m/s. How
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

\boxed {\tt 3.6 \ seconds}

Explanation:

Time can be found by dividing the distance by the speed.

t=\frac{d}{s}

The distance is 45 meters and the speed is 12.5 meters per second.

d= 45 \ m \\s= 12.5 \ m/s

t=\frac{45 \ m}{12.5 \ m/s}

Divide. Note that the meters, or "m" will cancel each other out.

t=\frac{45 }{12.5 \ s}

t=3.6 \ s

It will take the dolphin 3.6 seconds to swim a distance of 45 meters are 12.5 meters per second.
